CFFB is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 1230 AM. It operates a nested FM rebroadcasting transmitter, CFFB-FM-3 at 91.1 MHz in Iqaluit, Nunavut. The station broadcasts the programming of the CBC Radio One network, and serves as the regional network centre for Nunavut for the CBC North service. The local station began broadcasting on February 6, 1961. According to the Canadian Communications Foundation, the station was operating on 1200 kHz by 1966, until the station was approved to move to 1210 in 1971 but was moved to its current frequency at 1230 instead. The FB in the callsign stands for Frobisher Bay, which was renamed Iqaluit in 1987. The station 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 Music 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 Music network, with no local program origination. The CBC Music transmitter in Iqaluit is licensed as a rebroadcaster of CBM-FM in Montreal. Local programming The Iqaluit station produces most of CBC Radio's regional programs in Nunavut, including Qulliq on weekday morning, the noon-hour program Nipivut, Tausunni in the afternoon, and 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 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. to 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. 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 Radio One schedule
