As a consequence to CJUL's closedown, [St. Catharines](/source/St._Catharines)' station [CHSC](/source/CHSC_(AM)) could be heard after sunset. This availability was short-lived; although CHSC was to have left the air upon the expiration of its licence on August 31, 2010, it remained on the air after being issued a stay from the Federal Court of Canada until September 30, when its appeal was denied. On October 12, 2010, Corus received approval to revoke CJUL's licence.[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2010/2010-751.htm Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2010-751], Revocation of licence, ''CRTC'', October 12, 2010 ==References== {{reflist}} ==External links== * [https://web.archive.org/web/20061118122441/http://www.am1220.ca/ CJUL] * [https://broadcasting-history.ca/radio/radio-stations/ontario/ontario-eastern/cjul-am/ CJUL] at The History of Canadian Broadcasting by the [Canadian Communications Foundation](/source/Canadian_Communications_Foundation) *[https://broadcasting-history.ca/radio/radio-stations/ontario/ontario-eastern/cjss-fm/ CJSS-FM] ''(began as CKSF and CJSS)'' - Canadian Communications Foundation * {{RecnetCanada|1220CJUL}} {{coord|45.021|N|74.730|W|display=title}} {{Corus Entertainment}} {{Cornwall Radio}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Cjul}} Jul Jul Jul Category:Radio stations disestablished in 2010 Jul Category:Radio stations established in 1945 Category:1945 establishments in Ontario Category:2010 disestablishments in Ontario Jul --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [CJUL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CJUL) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CJUL?action=history)).
