CFSX is an AM radio station in Stephenville, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, broadcasting at 870 kHz. Originally launched as a repeater on November 13, 1964, it opened its own studios in 1970. The station is owned by Newcap Broadcasting.

CFSX operates as a daytime station, and serves as a nighttime repeater to CFCB in Corner Brook.

CFSX also operates repeat transmitters in two locations:

  • CFGN 1230 AM in Port aux Basques 1 (Originally a full-time repeater of CFCB)
  • CFCV 97.7 FM in the Codroy Valley 1

1From 1973 to the 1990s, CFGN/CFCV operated independent of CFSX and CFCB in the daytime, and served as CFCB's nighttime and weekend repeater until it became a daytime repeater of CFSX.
