Dec 1, 2022

UPDATE! FM-Phasis 2022 has officially wrapped up! Thanks to your generous support we were able to raise $71,833 for Community Radio in Saskatoon! We cannot express our sincere gratitude to each and every person who made this possible. 

See below to see our 2022 Grand & Early Bird Prize Winners. For the rest of you, watch your mailbox to see if you have won some gift certificates from a wide array of local businesses!
 

CFCR is proud to present the FM-Phasis fundraising drive for 2022 - "Find Your Frequency". This year marks our 31st year of volunteer broadcasting at 90.5FM in Saskatoon! 

FM-Phasis is essential to CFCR’s existence and accounts for 15-20% of CFCR’s annual operating budget. We are hopeful that we can reach a goal of $75,000 this year, so please consider donating today to help keep Community Radio alive & well here in Saskatoon! 

One of the current projects we are working hard on is developing an on-demand Public Archive of our content, and upgrading our Computer/Server System to better Archiving and Digitization capabilities for the future. These are just some of the big plans we have in moving the station into the future.   

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 the station.

In early 2022 we were able to upgrade our Studio Broadcast Console all thanks to the generous support of FM-Phasis donors!!!
