About ICI Radio-Canada Première Edmonton
ICI Radio-Canada Première Edmonton, on 90.1 FM with the call sign CHFA-FM, is the French-language public radio service for Alberta. The schedule includes news, culture, classical music and jazz, presented in French.
Canada has a diverse radio landscape, with the public CBC and Radio-Canada services, large commercial groups, campus and community stations and many multilingual and online broadcasters, and its radio reflects a country of English, French and many other languages. Radio-Canada is the French-language service of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, funded mainly by the federal government, and its radio services carry no commercial advertising. The language is French, with Canadian accents. The stream is delivered as AAC at 48 kbps, a very low bitrate that keeps data use minimal and is adequate for speech, although the sound is thin and not suited to music. This is a low-bandwidth stream. It plays in your browser on RadioKite without installation, and you can add it to your favourites.
