First Nations radio station in Big Trout Lake, Ontario, Canada
53°49′59″N 89°52′59″W / 53.833°N 89.883°W / 53.833; -89.883 CFTL-FM, is a First Nations community radio station which operates at 100.3 MHz FM in Big Trout Lake, Ontario, Canada. [1] The station is owned by the Ayamowin Communications Society and is a rebroadcaster of CBC Radio One outlet CBQT-FM in Thunder Bay.
CFTL-FM was originally established in 1974 [2] and was the first community radio station in Ontario, established locally with the support of the Wawatay Native Communications Society; its popularity led communities, first at Muskrat Dam then elsewhere, to ask for similar assistance.[3]: 108 By its 1992 CRTC licence renewal, it was authorized to broadcast 59 hours of local programming in Oji-Cree, 10 hours of Wawatay programs, and 99 hours of output from the CBC Stereo FM network.[4] In later years, it switched from CBC Stereo to CBC Radio One through CBQT-FM in Thunder Bay.
