CFCH-FM was a Canadian community radio station that broadcast at 103.5 FM in Chase, British Columbia, last owned by the Chase and District Community Radio Society.
History[edit]
On October 6, 2004, the CRTC approved the Chase and District Lions Community Club's application to operate an English-language developmental community FM radio station, broadcasting at 103.5 MHz with an effective radiated power of 4.7 watts.[1] The station commenced broadcasting in 2005.[citation needed] Ownership was transferred to the Chase and District Community Radio Society in 2007.[2]
On August 1, 2008, the CRTC approved the radio society's application for a regular, English-language, low-power Type B community FM radio station at 103.5 MHz (channel 278LP) with an effective radiated power of 19.7 watts.[3]
CFCH-FM ceased broadcasting on August 31, 2014, due to lack of community support. The society requested the CRTC revoke its broadcasting license, approved October 14, 2014.[4]
Call sign[edit]
CFCH was the call sign used by a radio station in North Bay, Ontario, known today as CKFX-FM. On May 25, 2020, Vista Radio, which owns CFXN-FM, was approved to operate a new FM radio station in North Bay and has reused the CFCH-FM call sign since June 15, 2021.
