CHTO

CHTO is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 1690 AM in Toronto, Ontario. The station airs a multicultural programming format. It is owned by Canadian Hellenic Toronto Radio Inc., which is run by John Maniatakos, son of Peter Maniatakos who owns Odyssey Television Network. The station was initially going to launch by the end of 2006, but this was pushed back due to technical problems. It has been on the air since September 2007.

CHTO's programming is predominantly Greek although it is mandated to air programming in other languages as well. Due to out of date information on the stations' website (which has not been updated since 2008), it is unknown what other ethnic programming currently airs on CHTO.

CHTO's studios are located on Danforth Avenue in the Riverdale neighbourhood, while its transmitter is located in the O'Connor-Parkview neighbourhood near the Don River.

History

Mrs. Maniatakos has operated a closed circuit specialty audio service in Toronto since 1966 under the name CHCR-FM. This service aired Greek language programming 24hrs a day; it was initially available as an SCMO service (via CKFM-FM) but subsequently switched to cable and was available on Rogers Digital Cable channel 959, as part of their digital radio offerings, in Toronto and area. In 2007 when CHTO launched, CHCR was discontinued and CHTO now airs in its place on Rogers.

Sleepwalking

by: Kittie

Watching me fall
Into the flames
Of a broken soul tonight
No stone overturned
This graveyard of mine
Allows me no peace
[Chorus]
Sleep as day dies
Sleepwalk with the dead
Wander aimlessly through the night
Love and regret
Course through my veins
As I slowly fade away
Please let me sleep
Just one last night
Before I must wake
[Chorus]
And I walk with these ghosts
And I walk with these ghosts
And I walk with these ghosts...
[Chorus]
Sleep as night falls
Sleepwalk with the dead
Hope keeps me alive
