CBKF-FM is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts the programming of Radio-Canada's Première Chaîne network at 97.7 FM in Regina, Saskatchewan.

History

The station was launched on April 24, 1975. In 1973, two years prior to the station's launch, the network also purchased two established francophone community radio stations, CFRG in Gravelbourg and CFNS in Saskatoon, and converted them to rebroadcasters of CBKF. The stations were recalled as CBKF-1 and CBKF-2, respectively.

The CFRG calls are now used by a privately owned French-language community station in Gravelbourg operating at 93.1 FM.

A community group in Prince Albert, the Société canadienne-française de Prince Albert, currently holds a separate license to rebroadcast CBKF's programming in that city.^[1]

On May 30, 2013, the CRTC approved the CBC's request to increase CBKF-FM's wattage from 13,700 watts to 22,300 watts, with a decrease in the effective height of antenna above average terrain from 153 to 146.2 metres.^[2]

Programming

The station's local programs include Point du jour, hosted by Grégory Dubosc, in the mornings, and Jour de plaine, hosted by Doris Labrie, in the afternoons. The station also broadcasts a Sunday morning Catholic Mass from the Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption Cathedral in Gravelbourg.
