YOUR COMPLETE GUIDE TO FM-PHASIS 2020 & PRIZE WINNERS!

Nov 30, -0001

11/4/2020 - We are thrilled to announce that FM-Phasis 2020 was a smashing success! With generous donations from right here in our community, to some as far away as the USA, Scotland, and Denmark, we have raised $75,196.95 towards keeping Saskatoon Community Radio moving in the right direction!

We sincerely thank each and every donor for the support, especially under the uncertain circumstances that many of us face currently. With these funds, we will continue to offer top-notch locally produced programming by the rock-solid lineup of volunteer hosts here at CFCR.

CFCR is proud to present the FM-Phasis fundraising drive for 2020 - "Together In Stereo". This year marks our 29th year of volunteer broadcasting at 90.5FM in Saskatoon and area! For more on our history, visit the About Us page.

FM-Phasis is essential to CFCR’s existence. This point is even more important now, with the crisis surrounding COVID-19 causing CFCR’s financial outlook to become much less secure than in recent years. FM-Phasis accounts for 15-20% of CFCR’s annual operating budget, and while we are hopeful that we can reach a goal of $70,000 this year, we must work together to keep Community Radio alive and well here in Saskatoon!

The funds raised during past FM-Phasis campaigns have been directed towards continued improvements and upgrades for the station, including New Studio Equipment, Remote Recording Equipment (ie: USB Microphones, etc), Production Studio Renovations, Transmitter Upgrades, Security System, Webcasting and the CFCR Mobile App. These projects (and more) are ongoing to help strengthen the listening experience here at CFCR.

Due to COVID-19, we are doing gift card prizes a bit differently this year. Each FM-Phasis donation level corresponds with entries to win gift card prize packs from our wonderful local sponsors. These draws will be done after October 31st, 2020 and you will be contacted if you win. We will mail out gift cards to the winners.
