Northumberland 89.7FM

Truly Local Radio

Northumberland 89.7 FM is a not-for- profit community-based volunteer radio

station, providing news, views, events coverage and music to the residents of

Northumberland County on the FM dial at 89.7, call sign CFWN. We also provide

internet access to our programming.

We at Northumberland 89.7 FM believed that there was a need for a local

community-based radio station – volunteer-operated and largely financed by the

community – that would cover local events, news, and information of interest to the

residents of Northumberland County. There are a number of these stations in Ontario being operated successfully and creating a positive impact on the communities they serve. With the idea formulated in 2009, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission approved our broadcasting license in November of 2011.

Northumberland 89.7 FM strives to be the heartbeat of our community through:

• Air time for local artists
• Concerts by local performers
• Coverage of events at local venues, including fairs, exhibitions, auctions, concerts, plays, Canada Day and Christmas activities and junior sports events
• News and information of interest to the local community, including weather, community announcements, on-air buy-and- sell, and interviews on issues of local concern
• Coverage of local council and other community meetings
• Programs created by local community groups
• Programs and advertising policies that support local commerce
