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
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. The station commenced broadcasting in 2005. Ownership was transferred to the Chase and District Community Radio Society in 2007.
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.
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.
