Toronto’s CHIN Radio announces the retirement of Chief Broadcast Engineer Rahamat Ali after more than 30 years, and the return of Paul Bury as Chief Engineer/IT. 

Rahamat, whose last official day with the station is Thursday, Oct. 29, is credited with playing an instrumental role in CHIN’s technological evolution. Among his milestone accomplishments was the relocation of CHIN’s transmitter site from Toronto Island to Halton Hills in 2024, completed in just three months without a single day of interruption to broadcasting.  

Rahamat will remain connected to CHIN, providing consulting support and assisting with  special technical projects as needed. 

Bury returns to CHIN after beginning his career with the station in 2000, progressing from operations into broadcast engineering. He left in 2019 to become Head of Engineering & IT at Evanov Communications. 

“We are deeply grateful to Rahamat for more than three decades of loyalty, dedication and  friendship, and we wish him a wonderful retirement,” said Lenny Lombardi, President of  CHIN Radio, in a company announcement. “At the same time, we are delighted to welcome Paul back to the CHIN family. His experience and leadership will help ensure CHIN continues to meet the technological demands of modern broadcasting and build on its legacy as a leader in multicultural media.”
