TORONTO — Until the end of August 2025, one could tune to 106.5 MHz in Canada’s largest market and hear First Peoples Radio-licensed Class B1 CFPT-FM, branded as “ELMNT FM.” It offered “Today’s Indigenous Beat” to audiences across the GTA. On September 1, due to revenue and ratings challenges, CFPT signed off the air.
Nevertheless, the CRTC has declared Toronto, and Ottawa, where a sibling also met its demise, deserve more indigenous voices on the radio dial.
