SUFFIELD, Alberta — Drive to Suffield — just east of where the Canadian Rocky Mountains rise up — tune the car radio to CKBF on 104.1 FM, and you can enjoy the latest in contemporary British pop radio (music and witty talk) with a military twist.
This is because you’re tuned into BFBS [British Forces Broadcasting Service] Canada; one of the radio stations operated by Britain’s Forces Network to serve U.K. troops anywhere in the world. In this case, the troops are posted at Canadian Forces Base Suffield; the largest military base in Canada and home to United Kingdom troops training in live-fire exercises.
