CIWS-FM is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts a community radio format on 102.7 FM in Whitchurch-Stouffville, Ontario. The station, founded by local businessman Jim Priebe, is branded as WhiStle Radio.

WhiStle started as an internet radio station in 2005, webcasting live play-by-play of Stouffville Spirit OPJHL Junior A Hockey. A postgame-show podcast was soon introduced. Ryan Fabro was the station's first announcer, calling games solo. He was later joined by Jim LeMaitre, the station's second announcer.

In November 2006, WhiStle Radio was granted a licence by the CRTC [ [http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Decisions/2006/db2006-652.htm CRTC Decision 2006-652] ] to operate as a low power community radio station. The station formally launched on March 17, 2008. [ [http://www.fybush.com/NERW/2008/080324/nerw.html Northeast Radio Watch] , March 24, 2008.]

The station is a not-for-profit organization, and is volunteer driven. It airs a diverse mix of music and community programming, including a continuation of its Stouffville Spirit hockey broadcasts.
