St. Thomas Assembly

St. Thomas Assembly was an automobile plant located in Southwold, Ontario, Canada, close to the Talbotville community and the nearby city of St. Thomas. The 2,600,000 sq ft (240,000 m2) facility, situated on a 635 acres (2.57 km2) site, opened in 1967, building the Ford Falcon. Flexible fuel vehicles (FFV) capable of operating on ethanol fuel were manufactured there during the later years of the assembly plant. Ford's plans for sustainability and reduction of fossil fuel consumption relied on the St. Thomas Plant and its Lincoln Town Car vehicles for years. It also produced the final Mercury vehicle, a Mercury Grand Marquis, after Ford decided to discontinue the Mercury brand after the 2011 model year. Following the closure of the Wixom Assembly Plant in Michigan, production of the Lincoln Town Car (which was the only Ford Panther platform vehicle to be produced at the Plant) moved to St. Thomas Assembly starting with the 2007 model year. This allowed the Ford Motor Company to consolidate production of all three Ford Panther platform vehicles (the Ford Crown Victoria, the Lincoln Town Car, and the Mercury Grand Marquis to a single assembly plant. The plant closed on September 15, 2011. The last Crown Victoria built by the remaining 300 employees was sent to Saudi Arabia.Decommissioning did not start until mid-2015. The plant had been largely demolished by the end of 2016, with only the wastewater treatment facility left standing as of February 2017. An initial proposal to have the site developed as a solar farm fell through when regulatory approval was not obtained, but decommissioning was completed in 2019, with the property becoming available for sale. In 2021, Amazon purchased the site to build a fulfillment center.

CKSL

CKSL was a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 1410 AM in London, Ontario, Canada. The station aired a comedy radio format branded as Funny 1410. The station broadcast with a power of 10,000 watts from its transmitter site located on Scotland Drive in South London. The station's coverage area was directional to the north and south during the day, and towards the north at night to protect WDOE in Dunkirk, New York, located across Lake Erie from CKSL.CKSL was owned by Bell Media, along with CJBX, CIQM and CJBK. The station was launched in June 1956 on AM 1290 (the current home of CJBK), and moved to its current frequency in 1964. The station later adopted a Top 40 format, and subsequently changed to news/talk in 1993 known as AM 1410. It changed to an adult standards format under the same name in 1996, evolving into a soft adult contemporary format as AM 1410, The River in September 1997. In 2000, the station was acquired by Telemedia, who changed it to an oldies format as "Oldies 1410" on December 1, 2000. Standard Broadcasting subsequently acquired Telemedia in 2002, and the format changed back to adult standards as AM 1410 on February 16, 2004. By this point the station only broadcast live from 6-9 a.m. weekdays, with the rest of the time being automated. During the Oldies 1410 years, the station also broadcast various religious and ethnic programs in evenings, including Radio Maryja from Poland seven days a week from 8-9 p.m. Due in part to the location of its transmitter site in South London, CKSL has been dogged by low listenership. The municipal landfill site is located just south of the transmitter site, causing increasing deterioration of the signal as the landfill has grown over the years. CKSL applied to move to the FM dial at 102.3 MHz in 1999, but the license for 102.3 MHz was awarded to CHUM who subsequently launched CHST-FM. By 2016, CKSL had the lowest audience share in the London market, according to BBM Canada.In 2007 Astral Media took control of CKSL as a result of a takeover of Standard Radio. In fall 2009, CKSL moved back to an oldies format, again using the "Oldies 1410" as its moniker. In November 2011, CKSL announced that it would change formats by January 2012 to become the first radio station in Canada devoted to comedy radio. The new format, "Funny 1410", consist of bits performed by major stand-up and improvisational comedians. The new format was originally programmed by Astral Media's syndication arm, but would later pick up its programming from the American 24/7 Comedy network, of which Astral (and later, Bell Media) was the authorised Canadian distributor. In early 2013, the station would add Astral's late night Humble & Fred show. It was a short time after this that Bell Media would acquire many of Astral's radio stations, including CKSL.
