CFML-FM

CFML-FM is the campus radio station of the British Columbia Institute of Technology in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. The station began broadcasting in January 1982 on cable FM at 104.5 MHz. On March 7, 2006, the station began using the name Evolution 107.9 FM upon the launch of its new location on the FM dial at 107.9 MHz.^[1]

The station's transmitter, located on the Metrotown towers in Burnaby, is licenced for 12 watts ERP. The signal can now be heard on cable and on the FM dial. Its FM signal reaches mainly within the Burnaby city limits at the moment. The radio format is adult album alternative and consists mostly of independent, rock, and adult alternative. It is staffed by second year students in the Broadcast & Media Communications: Radio Program.

The station uses the on-air brand name Evolution 1079.

A few references give the station's call sign as VF2448, a call sign format used in Canada to denote low-power rebroadcasters. This was the call sign temporarily assigned to the station when it ran its pre-launch transmitter tests, but has never been the station's official call sign as a fully operational station, although Industry Canada's database has not been updated to reflect that yet.
