CHCR-FM is a community radio station broadcasting at 102.9 FM in Killaloe, Ontario, with a repeater at 104.5 FM in Wilno, known as Canadian Homegrown Community Radio.

The station began broadcasting in 1998 at 102.9 FM [1] and later added a rebroadcast transmitter at Wilno on 104.5 FM in 2003. [2]

In August 2023, it was announced that the radio station, CHCR-FM, is at risk of shutting down due to lack of volunteers. CHCR-FM is looking for volunteers to keep the radio station on the air. [3]
