CHFC was founded in 1948 as a 100-watt non-commercial military AM broadcast station in Churchill, Manitoba. [1] CHFC was taken over by the CBC on 13 September 1959 and was on 1230 kHz with a power of 250 watts (non-directional) by 1966.
The National anchor Peter Mansbridge began his broadcast career at CHFC from 1968 to 1971, before moving to network owned-and-operated CBW 990 Winnipeg.
The station was tiny and, in the early-morning and late-night dayparts, the lone announcer was most often the only employee on duty. [2]
By 1994, the station was generating less than an hour a week of original, local content; the majority of its programming was instead sourced from CBW or from the main network. As CHFC became a full-time rebroadcaster of CBWK-FM Thompson in 2001, [3] it no longer originates content.

He was also host of CBC News Network's Mansbridge One on One.
