CHFA-FM is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts the programming of Radio-Canada's Première Chaîne network in Edmonton, Alberta.

The station was launched in 1949 by a local non-profit consortium to bring French radio service to Edmonton, and was directly acquired by the network in 1974.

The station serves the entire province of Alberta from its studios in Edmonton, although it also maintains a smaller bureau in Calgary.

For most of its history, the station broadcast at 680 on the AM band. On January 20, 2012, it was announced that Radio-Canada planned to close down CHFA's AM transmitter at 680, with its nested FM repeater in Edmonton, CHFA-10-FM at 101.1 MHz, swapping places with the much-stronger Espace musique station CBCX-FM-1 at 90.1 MHz. This application was approved by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission on June 22, 2012.^[1]

Programming

The station's local programs are Le Café show, hosted by Yves-Gérard Méhou-Loko, in the mornings, weekdays and Le Quotidien, hosted by Sandra Gagnon, in the afternoons, weekdays.
