CIRH-FM was a Canadian commercial radio station, which broadcast at 107.7 FM in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The station provided info about local tourism, weather forecasts, highway advisories, and traveler safety as well as events in the Halifax Regional Municipality.

The station recieved CRTC approval on July 29th, 2002, as a low-power radio station with an effective radiated power of 10 watts operating at 97.9 FM.^[1]

On the 28th of February 2008, the station recieved approval to change frequencies from 97.9 FM to 107.7 FM, as well as upgrade their transmitter to have 560 watts of effective radiated power. ^[2] It was named the "Designated Broadcasting System" for emergency use by the Halifax Regional Municipality.^[3]

On July 27th 2009 they changed their ERP to 355 watts, reasoning being that they were going to use their existing antenna instead of purchasing a new one. ^[4]

Closure

On the 24th of October, 2014, Jack McGaw Consulting applied to have CIRH-FM's license revoked and the application was accepted.^[5]

As of October 20th, 2024, the frequency remains open.
