CFNS (AM)


CFNS was a Canadian radio station, which broadcast in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan from 1952 to 1973. A private affiliate of Radio-Canada, the station was owned by Radio-Prairies-Nord Ltée. and the fourth French-language radio station in western Canada.
CFNS originally aired at 1170 AM and broadcast with 1,000 watts. The station and CFRG in Gravelbourg were purchased by Radio-Canada in 1973 to become a rebroadcaster of Regina's new CBKF-FM. In 1975, the Canadian Radio-Television Commission approved the station to relocate to 860 kHz, change transmitter sites, and increase power to 10,000 watts. The transmitter, which now has the call sign CBKF-2, is still in operation as a rebroadcaster of CBKF.
