Valley FM (CFAV) will be broadcasting at 97.9 MHz (Channel 250) with an average effective radiated power of 600 watts and peak power at 1,000 watts. Our frequency was purposely chosen to reflect and promote that Vernon is located on Route 97, the longest highway route in BC and also heading both north and south of our province’s borders.

Our coverage area will serve Greater Vernon including Coldstream. We have secured an agreement with a private tower owner to co-locate our transmitter and antennae on a vacant tower on Vernon Mountain (Vernon Hill). We will also continue streaming on the Internet at www.valleyfm.ca.

Our studios are located behind the Towne Theatre in Downtown Vernon: 2913-29 Avenue.

“97.9 Valley-FM” is the official name and brand of our community radio in Vernon! Derivatives such as “The Valley”, “Valley Voice” may also be used.  Our call letters are CFAV-FM.

 We are very close to completing the dream of broadcasting ON AIR across Greater Vernon.  Our fundraising to date has enabled us to purchase and installing a 600-Watt radio transmitter on our tower. We are now in the final phase of purchasing the equipment needed to pass the final CRTC inspection. Please join us as we finally join the local airwaves as Vernon’s only community radio station!
