Our Story
The original CFNU was born in the SIFC trailer, outside College West at the University of Regina, in 1994. Today it is a modern podcast lab and streaming radio studio at First Nations University of Canada.
The CFNU radio station project was led by INCA students, including Nelson Bird, with help from INCA instructor Shannon Avison.
“We got a carrier current license that took our audio signal and sent it along the wiring of our SIFC trailer,” explained Avison. “It was pretty primitive, especially by today’s standards; but, it got our broadcasts out to the world…the world of the SIFC trailer and anyone parked nearby.” Fast forward 40 years and CFNU is streaming to a global audience. Using Internet technology, listeners worldwide can enjoy CFNU at www.cfnuradio.ca. “We’ve totally expanded our reach,” laughed Avison. “FNUniv provided two small rooms for studio space and production and we started recruiting students.” CFNU went “on the air” in Spring 2023. The inaugural broadcast was a four-hour live broadcast from the FNUniv Spring Powwow.
