CFCR is beyond excited to once again be making the trek west to Calgary, presenting another show with some stellar Saskatoon bands at the Sled Island Music Festival. We’ve been calling this event “Peace From One Province East,” and this year’s Saskatoon contingent is a 1-2 punch if we ever saw one, with dead ex girlfriends and Yarbo! They’ll be hitting the stage of The Palomino Smokehouse (upstairs) on Saturday, June 20 at 5pm & 6pm respectively. It’s FREE to attend, so if you’re taking in Sled, or just visiting Calgary that weekend, stop on by for some great music (and great BBQ)!

The bill also includes Pinball 1973 from Calgary at 3pm, and Lennie Rayen from North Bay, ON at 4pm, so come early to catch them as well! 18+, government photo ID required at the door.

HUGE thanks goes out to our friends at SaskMusic for their continued support of this annual Showcase!

Please join us in welcoming CFCR’s new General Manager, Joe Manafo!

In his first few weeks, Joe has brought an incredible desire to learn and has already started building meaningful relationships.

He has been an absolute pleasure to have around the station, and we are all pumped for his team-first, collaborative leadership.

“I’ve loved CFCR since I moved to Saskatoon in 2013. The station introduced me to the city, the scene, new people, and most of all, great music. Being invited to serve as General Manager is an honour, and I’m ready to help build what’s next.

Over the years, I’ve partnered with non-profit and grassroots organizations across Canada, helping people work together toward shared goals. Along the way, I’ve learned that strong, diverse communities make all the difference, and CFCR is proof of that right here in Saskatoon.

In my first six months as GM, here’s where I’ll begin: I want to meet people, so please introduce yourself and introduce me to others. I’ll be working closely with the staff team to see how we can make things even better, and I’ll report back to the board to help prioritize our next steps.

I’m excited for what’s next, and I look forward to meeting you.”

You can find Joe at CFCR HQ, at all the cool local haunts, or at (Instagram)

Today marks the final day of work for Neil Bergen, CFCR’s outgoing General Manager! Neil has been a staple of our radio world and has made many long-lasting connections and friendships in the Community over that time.

“I’d like to thank every host, volunteer, and supporter who’s contributed to Community Radio over the last 20 years. It’s been a privilege to be the General Manager. The station is all about Community - without the volunteers there is no radio station. I’d also like to thank every staff and board member who have made the station what it is today. It’s been a great 20 years and I look forward to seeing what the future brings for Community Radio.”

Thankfully, Neil will continue to host his world famous edition of So Many Roads every Thursday from 10am ‘til Noon.

If Neil has made a mark in your life, come join us in toasting (or roasting) him at:
