CBUF-FM (97.7 MHz) is a French-language non-commercial public radio station in Vancouver, British Columbia. It broadcasts Radio-Canada's Ici Radio-Canada Première network around Greater Vancouver and on a chain of rebroadcasters around British Columbia. CBUF-FM carries news and talk shows with some music programming.
It signed on the air on December 1, 1967. CBUF-FM was the first French-language Radio-Canada station west of Ontario. Its studios and offices are in the CBC Regional Broadcast Centre on Hamilton Street in Downtown Vancouver, while its transmitter tower is atop Mount Seymour.[1]
CBUF also serves as the Première outlet for the Yukon, by way of a locally owned repeater in Whitehorse.
The station's current local programs are Phare Ouest, weekday mornings from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and Boulevard du Pacifique weekday afternoons, 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. CBUF-FM also produces the Saturday morning program, Culture et confiture from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m.
On holidays, CKSB-10-FM produces holiday morning program for western Canada, Les matins de l'Ouest. Le retour de l'Ouest produced by Alberta's CHFA-FM, replaces regional drive programming on Première outlets in western Canada. During summer months, CBUF-FM produces Le monde chez nous a documentary series that is heard on Saturday mornings from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.
