NOVEMBER 2025 UPDATE!
We would also like to take a moment to thank all of the local businesses that donated prizes to help sweeten the deal for some lucky FM-Phasis donors, Jay Allen for the amazing “Sounds So Fine!” graphic design, and CFCR volunteer hosts for keeping the station alive and on-air throughout the year!

CFCR is proud to present the FM-Phasis fundraising drive for 2025 – “Sounds So Fine!” taking place from Saturday, September 13th to Friday, September 26th, 2025. This year marks our 34th year of volunteer broadcasting at 90.5FM in Saskatoon!
FM-Phasis is essential to CFCR’s existence and accounts for 15-20% of our annual operating budget. We are hopeful that that with the support of the community, we can reach our goal of $80,000 this year.
The funds raised during past FM-Phasis campaigns have been directed towards continued improvements and upgrades for the station, including a New Website and On-Demand Archive (launched in August 2024!), New Studio Equipment (purchased a new Board for our On-Air Studio in 2021!), Remote Recording Equipment (ie: USB Microphones, etc), Production Studio Upgrades, Transmitter Upgrades, Security System, Webcasting and the CFCR Mobile App.
