I wonder if anyone's looking at being able to repurpose these in some way so as to not become ewaste? (evidently I've not done any research myself..)https://community.element14.com/technologies/wireless/f/forum/56722/budget-cuts-environment-canada-ends-weather-radio/234060Fri, 27 Feb 2026 16:50:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:8e6396e7-3e82-48a2-a856-8b37722df5d9kmikemooI agree that this is sad. I think it might stem from the erroneous belief that everyone gets everything from their phone and that OTA radio is dead. I know a few people that have returned to listening to sports broadcasts on AM radio because they don't want to pay for the streaming services to watch the games. We use a transistor radio for music around the house instead of a smart speaker - because it's more portable and lasts forever on 2 AA batteries. I don't have to recharge it all the time. I may lose internet but, shocker... that radio still works. Sorry for your loss, Canada.https://community.element14.com/technologies/wireless/f/forum/56722/budget-cuts-environment-canada-ends-weather-radio/234044Fri, 27 Feb 2026 12:49:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:030ecd1a-7d6d-412e-bc0b-7a289b1edb81battlecoderThat's sad news. I'm not from Canada, but I like radio stations. They require very little hardware to "access" them, and they are such a great resource to have when the modern world falls apart (i.e: When internet is down, or there's a blackout).https://community.element14.com/technologies/wireless/f/forum/56722/budget-cuts-environment-canada-ends-weather-radioThu, 26 Feb 2026 23:32:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:17f7a3cb-0f46-4f5d-aab1-213b61bfb128scottiebabeSad news for Canadian nerds, as of March 16, 2026 environment Canada is pulling the plug on their VHF weather radio service on 162 MHz. My weather radio will soon be an antique paperweight I will be sure to listen to the last transmission https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weatheradio_Canada It was very similar to USA's NOAA Weather radio https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOAA_Weather_Radio So long XMJ330, enjoyed your weather broadcasts.
