(presumed meaning)Owner Memorial University of Newfoundland Radio Society[1] (controlled by MUNSU) Website CHMR-FM 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 Memorial University of Newfoundland Radio Society received approval by the CRTC in 1986 to operate on the frequency 93.5 MHz.[2]
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 previously aired on cable FM at 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.
