CKC455, branded on-air as CFRE, is an online radio station, formally broadcasting at 91.9 FM in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. It is the campus radio station of the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM), established in 1970 by its second principal John Tuzo Wilson. The station's initials are derived from Canada's First Radio Erindale (originally Canada Free Radio Erindale) and refer to Erindale College, the original name of UTM. [1]

Its first broadcast was from Colman Place, and the station moved to the North Building and eventually the Student Centre in 1999 where it is based today. For a brief period it was branded as VIBE Radio, but the name reverted to CFRE Radio in 2004.
CFRE focuses on Canadian rock, alternative, hip hop, heavy metal, jazz, folk and world music. The station sometimes conducts interviews with bands, notable of which have included, Fall Out Boy, Lady Sovereign, Moneen, and Bedouin Soundclash. [2]
