CHLI-FM, or Rossland Community Radio Co-operative, was a volunteer-led co-operative community radio station in Rossland, British Columbia, Canada.
The co-operative applied for a low-power broadcast license with the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, with the aim to broadcast at 5 watts of power on the FM dial at 101.1 with the call letters CHLI, and the station was given approval by the CRTC on May 15, 2008.[1] As of March 2008, the co-op had more than 75 members and was housed in the Rossland United Church building.[2] Rossland Radio Coop began official broadcasting on December 31, 2008.[3]
The station was one of several new community radio stations launched in the Kootenay region in the 2000s. Others include CJLY-FM in Nelson, CFAD-FM in Salmo, CJHQ-FM in Nakusp and CIDO-FM in Creston.[4]
On April 29, 2011, Rossland Radio Cooperative received CRTC approval to operate a new FM community radio station in Rossland, British Columbia on the frequency of 101.1 MHz.[5]
In October 2013 the station was put on hiatus due to lack of interest and funds (according to their Facebook page). As of April 2014 it is still off-air, and the licence has since been deleted.
RRC aired several Rossland-based shows, like Sesn-a-tonin, as well as a few syndicated programs, like Pacifica Radio's Democracy Now!, and Kootenay Coop Radio's food-issues program Deconstructing Dinner.[6]
