CHSC is a radio station in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. Broadcasting 10,000 watts at 1220 AM, the station airs a mix of adult contemporary and oldies, plus a few talk radio shows, in both English and Italian. The station's regular English programming is branded as 1220 CHSC, and its Italian programming is branded as Radio Uno.
Italian language programming now makes up 137 hours of the broadcast week, up from 113. Radio Uno now runs from 12 noon to 6 a.m. weekdays and all day weekends. CHSC's three talk programs are The It's Your Call Sports Show, Healthwise, and About Town. CHSC News airs at the top of each hour, and every half hour during morning drive.
The station also maintains a sales office in Woodbridge for the Toronto market.
CHSC was launched in 1967 by Radio Station CHSC Ltd., who also launched CHSC-FM at the same time. The station was acquired by Coultis Broadcasting in 1990.
In 1997, the station entered into a local marketing agreement with CJRN and CKEY in Niagara Falls. The station subsequently applied to move to FM in 2001, but withdrew the application.
Coultis went into receivership in 2002, and the station was acquired by its current owner, Pellpropco Inc.
1220 CHSC is one of the very few, if not the only, AM stations remaining in Canada that plays currently charted music. CHSC/Radio Uno also stream their signal over the Internet.
As of March 19, 2007, CHSC appears to have undergone a format modification. Radio Uno's Italian programming has been enhanced and 1220 CHSC's English programming has been diminished.
