CFAD-FM is a community radio station that began broadcasting on October 11, 2008 at 92.1 (later changed to 91.1)FM in Salmo, British Columbia.[1]

Owned by Salmo FM Radio Society, the station was licensed on July 31, 2008.[2] The station is one of several new community radio stations launched in the Kootenay region in the 2000s. Others include CJLY-FM in Nelson, CHLI-FM in Rossland, CJHQ-FM in Nakusp and CIDO-FM in Creston.[3] CFAD is a member of the National Campus and Community Radio Association.

On May 2, 2012, Salmo FM Radio Society received approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to operate an English language FM community radio station to serve Salmo on the frequency of 91.1 MHz.[4]

After 7 years broadcasting as a licensed Community Radio Station, on January 3, 2017, Salmo FM Radio Society turned off its transmitter and ceased broadcasting. Salmo Community Radio would like to thank all the many good people who contributed and supported community radio in the Salmo Valley. We had a good run.
