CKUR-FM

CKUR is a new radio station which will broadcast on 106.3 FM in Vancouver, British Columbia beginning within a year of its license being granted on June 14, 2017. The new station is a Class B Native station which will be aimed at an urban Indigenous audience.
According to the station's application to the CRTC, "the primary objective of the CKUR programming day is to reflect -- through information and entertainment -- the social, political, economic, and cultural concerns of the Aboriginal communities in Vancouver and throughout the Lower Mainland area. It is also intended to act as a cultural link between Vancouver First Nations peoples and their more remote home Nations." Its music programming will focus on highlighting Indigenous performers as well as blues, and Canadian-centric roots rock, and classic hits.
