CBAF-FM-5
CBAF-FM-5 is a French-language Canadian radio station located in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Owned and operated by the (government-owned) Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, it broadcasts on 92.3 MHz with an effective radiated power of 91,000 watts (class C) using an omnidirectional antenna.
The station has an ad-free news/talk format and is part of the Ici Radio-Canada Première network, which operates across Canada. Like all Première stations, but unlike most FM stations, it broadcasts in mono.
The station signed on in 1979 as a rebroadcaster of CBAF in Moncton. In 1987, it became a separate station, despite retaining rebroadcaster-like calls.[1]
The station produces a morning drive show (Le Réveil, Monday to Thursday from 6 to 9 a.m.). An afternoon drive program, L'heure de pointe Acadie comes from CBAF-FM Moncton, which also airs on CBAF-FM-15 in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.[2]
CBAF-FM-5 was originally identified as CBAF-19-FM; the call sign change took effect on September 1, 1989,[3]
as the old 1300 kHz AM signal of CBAF was shut down.[4]
The station also serves as the Première outlet for Newfoundland and Labrador, by way of two repeaters.
