CFCR FM-Phasis 2017 Is Coming!

CFCR Community Radio has long been a staple in the lives of many Feedback Society readers and contributors. I have been on the Board of Directors in the past, and I now co-host Reel to Reel, CFCR’s movie talk show, where Skot, Logan, Tyler, and I talk movies every Friday evening at 6:30.

Whether you’re into talk, music, or the great city of Saskatoon and its people, CFCR is an important voice in our community. Every year they hold their FM-Phasis funding drive, which helps to do a variety of things around the station. So I wanted to take the time to urge you to donate to this awesome community radio station. This year’s drive runs from September 30th to October 13th. (If they ask you about donating to a particular show/host, let them know your favourite, or just go ahead and tell them Reel to Reel!).

Here is some basic info about FM-Phasis, swiped directly from CFCR!
