Located at 117 King St. West in Kitchener, the new service is part of CBC’s plan of expanding its local coverage and follows the launch of the broadcaster’s first digital-only service in Hamilton this spring.

The federal government’s 2012 budget that saw $115 million cut from CBC’s funding over the next three years prompted the broadcaster to delay the plans it had to launch a number of new digital and radio services, including Kitchener-Waterloo, Saskatoon and London.

There is no launch date set for CBC Kitchener-Waterloo , though CBC has previously said it would be launching in Fall 2012 or Winter 2013.
