CJRM-FM is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 97.3 FM in Labrador City. It is a Francophone community radio station^[1] branded as Rafale FM.

On July 21, 2009, Radio communautaire du Labrador Inc. applied to add rebroadcasterrs in La Grand'Terre (on 96.1 FM CKIP) and St. John's (on 95.7 FM CKIJ). The CRTC approved the applications on September 14, 2009.^[2] The St. John's transmitter is reported to have launched in April 2011.^[3] ^[4]

The station is currently the only broadcasting service in the province that originates locally oriented programming for the Franco-Newfoundlander community. Radio-Canada's Première Chaîne has four transmitters in the province, including Labrador City, St. John's and the Port au Port area, and Espace musique has a transmitter in St. John's, although those services rebroadcast stations from other provinces and do not originate any programming in Newfoundland and Labrador.

On November 22, 2012, Radio communautaire du Labrador received CRTC approval to change the authorized contours of CKIP-FM La Grand’Terre, by increasing the transmitter’s average ERP from 42 to 142 watts (maximum ERP of 250 to 632 watts) and to decrease the EHAAT from -17.6 to -37.6 metres. ^[5]
