CFPE-FM is a Canadian English language tourist/park information radio station that operates on a frequency at 101.1 FM in Banff, Alberta. The station is branded as Park Radio - 101.1 FM.

The station originally began broadcasting on the AM band as CBPH. It is uncertain when the original station began broadcasting. The station moved to the FM band in the mid-1990s to 101.3 FM,[1] then later moved to 101.1 FM in 1997,[2] due to interference from the now former CKUA-FM rebroadcaster at 101.3 in Red Deer that had recently moved to a new FM frequency. The station would later change its calls to CFPE-FM.

CFPE-FM also operates a sister station, CFPF-FM (originally CBPG) that broadcasts a French language tourist/park information programing branded as Radio du Parc - 103.3 FM.

CFPE-FM and CFPF-FM were owned by the CBC, until they were acquired by Friends of Banff National Park Fellowship in 1999.[3]

On March 26, 2013, The Banff Centre announced its intention to acquire CFPE-FM and CFPF-FM from the Friends of Banff in an application with the CRTC. In addition, the The Banff Centre has also applied to operate a new commercial English-language FM radio station for an adult album alternative format which, if approved, would operate at 107.9 MHz with an ERP of 180 watts and a maximum ERP of 500 watts, with an effective HAAT of -326.4 metres.[4]

On July 19, 2013 The CRTC released a broadcasting decision aproving The Banff Centre's application for the acquisition of CFPE-FM and CFPF-FM[5].
