The CFISFM Archives is a large, mixed-format record of Prince George community radio. It collects programs such as After 9, Senior Moments, Local Matters, Post to Post, and Community Echoes, so the appeal comes from breadth rather than one fixed host style. The archive is local first. Conversations assume that Prince George weather, roads, schools, theatres, forests, sports facilities, and public debates are worth sustained attention. Some segments are measured and interview-driven, with guests given room to explain the work behind a project or study. Senior Moments, for example, moves carefully through Dr. Stephanie Okibu’s research on intergenerational transnational elder caregiving among Nigerian immigrants in Northern BC, then points toward Dr. Emmanuel Chalanga and the Black Faces Anti-Racism Project. After 9 can be practical and civic. Sean Simmons talks through fire preparedness as part of a community resilience effort, while Roy Ray joins a discussion shaped by moose habitat, hunting memory, and environmental change. The show also leaves space for everyday northern life. A real estate conversation with Norm Ferris becomes a wider talk about Prince George as a logistics hub, resource economy, and place people continue to call home. Local Matters brings a looser charge, turning April snow, potholes, and city frustration into a more ranty but still recognizably local hour. Sports and arts are part of the same ecosystem. Post to Post previews a three-on-three basketball tournament at Connaught Youth Center, and Community Echoes moves from theatre and original music to hockey talk. The archive can be uneven, because it preserves radio as it happened, with substitutions, tangents, jokes, and long answers left in. That is also its value. It captures how a community talks to itself: through practical questions, neighborly memory, policy concerns, event listings, and the occasional complaint about the weather. For listeners outside Prince George, it offers a grounded look at Northern BC civic culture. For locals, it feels like a running public notebook of the people and issues already passing through town.
Made for: For listeners who care about Prince George, Northern BC, community events, local politics, public health, arts, sports, and resource-town life. It also suits anyone who prefers unhurried civic conversation over polished talk formats.
What sets it apart: Its strength is the archive format: many CFIS-FM programs, tones, and guests sit side by side, creating a broad local record instead of a single host-led perspective. The episodes keep the practical details in, from tournament logistics to wildfire risk, caregiving research, and snowy April streets.
