No Power in The Tower!
Hello dear audience, there's so many ways to say it, but please bear with us while we rectify an issue presumably caused by relentless spring wind. We are working to bring our terrestrial broadcast back to its former glory on 88.7FM. It's predicted to be up and running by Friday morning, 28 April 2017. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Until then, tune in to our online feed right here on www.cfur.ca
On the bright side, we could be dealing with relentless Winter wind!

The-One-Week-Stand Tour: Carolyn Mark // Twin Peaks // Kitty & The Rooster
The One-Week-Stand Tour is shaping up to be one of the most hilarious and short lived tours British Columbia has ever seen!
A little bit of everything... From sassy, sultry country tunes (Carolyn Mark) to sweet and smoky roots (Twin Peaks) to a surf-tastic rock and roll show (Kitty & The Rooster)! Catchy melodies, clever lyrics and off the cuff stage banter are at the heart of all three of these incredible acts.
"Go for the music, stay for the dirty jokes."
- Metromix New York review of Carolyn Mark's live show

UNBC researcher finds more health benefits of Vitamin D
Due North sat down with Dr. Jacqueline Pettersen a cognitive neurologist at the University of Northern British Columbia, and learned all about studies involving Vitamin D. According to Dr. Pettersen, people are not getting enough Vitamin D these days. This problem is especially bad here in northern communities like Prince George. The lack of Vitamin D can affect brain function and bone development. Dr. Pettersen told CFUR that an increase in the intake of Vitamin D can help improve certain aspects of memory. Especially in the long winter months here in Prince George. Check out our interview and learn more.
