CFGN is an AM radio station in Port aux Basques, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, broadcasting at 1230 kHz. Originally launched as a repeater on August 7, 1971, it opened its own studios in 1973. In the 1990s, it became a repeater of CFSX. The station is owned by Newcap Broadcasting.
As a local station, CFGN broadcasted in the daytime and (most probably) the weekend, and served as a repeater to CFCB in Corner Brook for the rest of the week. In recent years however, very few local programs originating from CFGN remain, except for weekly radio Bingo games and themed music days (mostly on certain Saturdays and mostly classic hits prior to the 1980s). These programs now originate out of CFSX's studio in Stephenville.
CFGN also has a repeater in the Codroy Valley, CFCV on 97.7 MHz.
