Following the incorporation of the Community Radio Society of Saskatoon (CRSS) the following year, the founding members set out to convince the city that a non-profit community-run station was a feasible concept.

After attracting an impressive number of members, many of whom were former CJUS/CHSK on-air hosts, work was begun in earnest on creating a program schedule, training volunteers and arranging fundraising events.

This arrangement allowed the fledgling radio station to fine-tune its program schedule and provide on-air training to volunteers while preparing its license application with the CRTC.

September 7, 1991 at 3:19pm marked the official sign-on of CFCR as a full-powered FM radio station, broadcasting at 90.5FM.

On March 22, 2006, CFCR increased its output power to 1630 watts, greatly improving the signal and coverage for Saskatoon's outer-lying areas.

September 20, 1987 – Official sign-on to cable FM, broadcasting out of a Saskatoon Telecable studio, evenings and weekends only.

Then-manager Ted Stensrud spins Stompin' Tom Connors' album "A Proud Canadian" in its entirety, spurring CFCR's first official complaint.

November 4, 2011 – CRSS (CFCR's parent non-profit organization, The Community Radio Society of Saskatoon) celebrates its 25th year.

The staff of 5 people maintains a level of live broadcasting for the next three months, and several Volunteer Hosts begin recording their programs from home.
