CFAD-FM was a community radio station in Salmo, British Columbia.

Owned by Salmo FM Radio Society, the station was licensed on July 31, 2008.[1] It began broadcasting on October 11, 2008, at 92.1 MHz.[2]

The station was one of several new community radio stations launched in the Kootenay region in the 2000s. Others include CJLY-FM in Nelson, CHLI-FM in Rossland, CJHQ-FM in Nakusp and CIDO-FM in Creston.[3] CFAD was a member of the National Campus and Community Radio Association.

On May 2, 2012, Salmo FM Radio Society received approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to operate an English language FM community radio station to serve Salmo on the frequency of 91.1 MHz.[4]

After 7 years broadcasting as a licensed community radio station, on January 3, 2017, the Salmo FM Radio Society turned off its transmitter and ceased broadcasting.
