CBAF-FM-15 is a French language Canadian radio station located in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.
Owned and operated by the (government-owned) Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (French: Société Radio-Canada), it broadcasts on 88.1 MHz using a directional antenna with an average effective radiated power of 30,164 watts and a peak effective radiated power of 88,000 watts (class C).
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 sometime in the late 1970s as a rebroadcaster of CBAF in Moncton. On October 3, 1983, a first radio show was produced for the Island from Moncton (La marée de l'Île, hosted by Maurice Arsenault). In 1994, it officially became a separate station, though it still has rebroadcaster-like calls.[2]
The station has its own morning drive show, produced in Charlottetown since September 1, 1996. Denis Duchesne is the host of Le Réveil, Monday to Friday from 6 to 9 a.m.[3] The rest of its programming is a simulcast of CBAF-FM-5 from Halifax, Nova Scotia.[4]
On November 21, 2005, the CRTC granted CBAF-FM-15 to operate rebroadcasters in St. Edward and Urbainville to serve areas on the fringe of the primary transmitter's signal.
CBAF-FM-15 was originally identified as CBAF-29-FM; the call sign change took effect on September 1, 1989,[5] as the old 1300 kHz signal of CBAF was shut down.[6]
