More About CFCR 90.5 FM Saskatoon
The first program spun was Sounds of Scotland. With a limited staff in its interiors the not-for-profit CFCR 90.5 runs smoothly by the volunteers and students at University of Saskatchewan. After the launch of the CFCR 90.5 the hardworking bunch staffed in the radio worked hard to build the foundations by recruiting old CHSK hosts and personalities, training volunteers and initiating fundraiser for the non-profit broadcast entity. CFCR before getting the broadcasting privileges was aired via Saskatoon TeleCalbe without any charge. Thus the space was created to fine-tune and organize the CFCR 90.5 FM that was later going to be tuned by a large number of audiences in the communities of Saskatoon. The wattage was increase from 180 to 1,480 watts in May 2005 with a further incrementing the output power to 1630 watts in order to outreach the largest city in the Saskatchewan.
