CHMR-FM is a Canadian campus radio station broadcasting on the campus of Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador on 93.5 MHz (over-the-air), Rogers Digital Cable channel 942 (throughout Newfoundland) and Aliant TV channel 825 (throughout Atlantic Canada).

The station is operated by the university's undergraduate students' union, MUNSU. A media fee paid by all undergraduate students at Memorial's St. John's campus is the primary funding for CHMR. Along with The Muse, CHMR receives two dollars from every student each semester.

CHMR once aired on cable FM 103.7 MHz in the St. John's area. It moved to digital cable in late 2006, when Rogers discontinued all traditional cable FM service.

[edit] Footnotes

^ Although the MUN Radio Society is listed by the CRTC as the owner, a recent article in The Muse has cast doubt on whether this organization continues to exist as a legal entity, as opposed to an unincorporated division of MUNSU.
