The Blackburn family has been in the Canadian media business for 160 years. Over the course of five generations the family has played a pioneering role in newspaper publishing, radio, television, database marketing and digital media.

In 1922 Arthur Blackburn was granted one of the first radio licenses in Canada. Since then Blackburn Radio Inc. has established a successful tradition of marrying state-of-the-art technology with high quality local programming and community service.

Blackburn Radio Inc.’s vision is to be the leading independently owned broadcasting company in Southwestern Ontario, with a deep commitment to our region and to the local communities in which the company operates.

The dramatic digital transformation of all media continues to demonstrate the vital importance of local radio and its power to engage listeners and activate audiences. Our mission is to connect people and build communities with an innovative blend of over-the-air, online, interactive and mobile media services.
