CBUF-FM
It signed on the air on December 1, 1967. CBUF-FM was the first French-language Radio-Canada station west of Ontario. Its studios and offices are in the CBC Regional Broadcast Centre on Hamilton Street in Downtown Vancouver, while its transmitter tower is atop Mount Seymour.
CBUF also serves as the Première outlet for the Yukon, by way of a locally owned repeater in Whitehorse.
Programming
The station's current local programs are Phare Ouest, weekday mornings from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and Boulevard du Pacifique weekday afternoons, 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. CBUF-FM also produces the Saturday morning program, Culture et confiture from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m.
On holidays, CKSB-10-FM produces holiday morning program for western Canada, Les matins de l'Ouest. Le retour de l'Ouest produced by Alberta's CHFA-FM, replaces regional drive programming on Première outlets in western Canada. During summer months, CBUF-FM produces Le monde chez nous a documentary series that is heard on Saturday mornings from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.
