List of campus radio stations in Canada

This is a list of campus radio stations in Canada . Most stations listed here are members of the National Campus and Community Radio Association, or NCRA.

CFRC in Kingston is the longest continuously broadcasting radio station on a Canadian campus, with its first broadcasts beginning in 1922. ^[1]

CKUA was originally operated by the University of Alberta, which held the station's license from 1927 until 1974; however Alberta Government Telephones actually operated the station from 1945 until 1974 when ownership was transferred to another government agency, the Alberta Educational Communications Corporation. ^[2]

CJRT in Toronto, the first FM radio station in Canadian history licensed to an educational institution, severed its association with Ryerson Polytechnical Institute in 1974 and became an independent public broadcasting station financed by the government of Ontario. ^[3]

CKCU in Ottawa was Canada's first community-based campus radio station, broadcasting since November 15, 1975.

Note that this list may also include some stations which are or have historically been affiliated with colleges or universities, but are now licensed as community radio, rather than campus radio, stations. Such stations are marked with a † next to their call signs.
