Pickering College is the only JK-Grade 12 school in Canada with a CRTC-licensed radio station, 102.7 CHOP FM.

102.7 CHOP FM is a CRTC-licensed, student-operated radio station serving Pickering College and the wider Newmarket community. Broadcasting from New House on the Pickering College campus, this fully functioning radio station will provide a range of community-based programming including a live morning show, sports updates, and feature programs —  All produced by Pickering College students.

The radio station is one of Pickering College's unique features, giving students the opportunity to become on-air hosts, producers, editors and interviewers, as they help manage the station’s day-to-day operations.

The school also has a communications technology course on Radio and Audio Production that was developed at Pickering College and can’t be found anywhere else.

For any musicians submitting music files, we ask that you provide a download link (Dropbox, Google, etc.) rather than attach the file to an email. Please email the link to chopfm@pickeringcollege.on.ca.
