CFFB is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 1230 AM and operates a nested FM rebroadcasting transmitter at 91.1 MHz in Iqaluit, Nunavut.〔http://fccdata.org/?canfm=CFFB-FM-3〕 The station broadcasts the programming of the CBC Radio One network, and serves as the regional network centre for Nunavut for the CBC North Radio One network. The local station began broadcasting on February 6, 1961. The "FB" in the callsign stands for Frobisher Bay, which was renamed Iqaluit in 1987. The station currently operates from the CBC Building at the Astro Hill Complex in the centre of Iqaluit. With the advent of the Anik A series of communications satellites in the 1970s, CFFB was transformed from a local station to the regional production centre for northern CBC stations serving Canada's Eastern Arctic. Satellite distribution and the installation of local radio transmitters in most Eastern Arctic communities in the mid-1970s brought Inuktitut and English radio programs produced in Iqaluit, along with network CBC Radio to most communities in what is now Nunavut. CBC Radio 2 service is also provided in Iqaluit, broadcast at 88.3 FM with an effective radiated power of 800 watts. It provides a regular Eastern Time feed of the CBC Radio 2 network, with no local program origination. The Radio Two transmitter in Iqaluit is licensed as a rebroadcaster of CBM-FM in Montreal. See also CFFB-TV. ==Local programming== The Iqaluit station produces most of CBC Radio's regional programs in Nunavut, including ''Qulliq'' on weekday mornings, the noon-hour program ''Nipivut'', ''Tausunni'' in the afternoons, along with ''Saturday AM'' and ''Sunday AM'' on weekend mornings. Other afternoon Inuktitut programs ''Tuttavik'' and ''Tusaajaksat'' originate in Kuujjuaq, Quebec and Rankin Inlet, Nunavut, respectively. Some of the network's local programs air in both English and Inuktitut, while others air in Inuktitut only. The station also differs significantly from the main CBC Radio One schedule. ''Qulliq'' airs from 6 a.m. until 10 a.m. Eastern Time, and is followed by abbreviated broadcasts of ''The Current'' and ''Q''. In the afternoons, programming in Inuktitut, including ''Tausunni'' and ''Tuttavik'', airs in place of the national network programs. Subsequently, in the evenings, the Inuktitut cultural magazines ''Ullumi Tusaqsauqaujut'' and ''Sinnaksautit'' originate at the Iqaluit station, airing at 10 and 10:30 p.m. Eastern Time respectively; the CBC Radio One network schedule follows at 11 p.m Eastern Time. The station airs a more extensive schedule of local programming than most CBC Radio stations. It does not produce a Saturday afternoon regional arts magazine series for the territory. Instead, it airs ''The True North Concert Series'' a CBC North program featuring live music recorded across the three northern territories. It also carries a weekly music request program for youth on Sunday afternoons at 3pm Eastern Time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CFFB (AM)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
