CBU-FM
CBU-FM is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts the programming of the CBC Radio 2 network in Vancouver, British Columbia. The station broadcasts at 105.7 FM. CBU's transmitter is located atop Mount Seymour.
The station was originally launched in 1947 as an FM simulcast of CBU. It was not part of the CBC's original FM network in 1960, but became part of the 1964 relaunch.
The station operates from the CBC Regional Broadcast Centre on Hamilton Street in Downtown Vancouver. As with most Radio 2 stations, presently there is no Vancouver-specific programming on the station apart from short weather updates. However, Saturday Afternoon at the Opera and In Concert, both hosted by Bill Richardson, currently originate from Vancouver.

CFWH-FM
CFWH-FM is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 94.5 FM in Whitehorse, Yukon. The station broadcasts the programming of the CBC Radio One network known as CBC North. Until its 2012 closure, CFWH's sister television station was CFWH-TV.
History
CFWH was launched in 1951 as a local community station on AM 1340 kHz. On November 10, 1958 it was taken over by the CBC as the first station of the newly formed CBC Northern Radio Service. CFWH received CBC news and topical programs by picking up CBX 1010 (later 740) Edmonton and relaying the broadcast. Tapes recorded in Montreal, Quebec were also flown in on regular airline flights. Eventually the station was linked into the primary CBC network feed.
In 1960, the frequency was changed to 1240 kHz and then to 570 kHz in 1964.
On May 21, 2009, the CBC applied to the CRTC to convert CFWH from the AM dial (570 kHz) to the FM dial on the frequency 94.5 MHz. The station received approval on October 27, 2009. The FM frequency officially launched on June 1, and the AM frequency shut down on August 31, 2012.
