CFTR (AM)

CFTR (680 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, serving the Greater Toronto Area with an all-news format as “680 NewsRadio Toronto”. It is owned by Rogers Radio, a division of the Rogers Sports & Media subsidiary of Rogers Communications.

CFTR's studios and offices are located in the Rogers Building at 1 Ted Rogers Way (also known as 1 Mount Pleasant Road) in Toronto, while the station transmitter is located on the southern edge of Lake Ontario at Oakes and Winston Road (near the QEW and Casablanca Blvd) in nearby Grimsby. In addition to a standard analog transmission, CFTR is simulcast on the second HDdigital subchannel of CKIS-FM, and is available online and on Bell Satellite TV channel 958.

The station has been owned by Rogers Radio since its launch as CHFI in 1962. Becoming CFTR in 1971, it adopted a Top 40 format the following year, which it maintained throughout the 1970s and 1980s to high ratings. CFTR was among the last of the Top 40 stations on the AM dial to leave the format, doing so in 1993 in favor of all-news. Dubbed "680 News", it became Canada's first solo station to broadcast all-news following the closure of the CKO network, and has since been replicated in major markets across the country. From 2021 to 2024, CFTR branded as "CityNews 680", named after the CityNews service of Citytv, which Rogers acquired in 2007.
