The funds awarded by the CRFC originate from private Canadian broadcasters and aim to support Canadian content development in compliance with the funding structure established by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).

Impact of our funding

  • We can’t thank the CRFC and the Radiometres program enough for the incredible opportunities this and previous projects have provided our station and our community. We think it’s important to state that this is truly one of the best programs available and one that benefits both the station and its community in many ways.
