CFGS-TV is a television station in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada. It is affiliated with the TQS network, and also serves Franco-Ontarians in the neighbouring city of Ottawa, Ontario. The station is owned by RNC Media as a twinstick with CHOT, the market's TVA affiliate.

The station broadcasts on UHF channel 34; it previously broadcast on channel 49 until moving to its current position in 2001. However, prior to changing its listings to national listings only, TV Guide always had this station listed as Channel 49. The station was later re-assigned channel 49 as its transitional digital channel.

CFGS's operation is considerably smaller than sister station CHOT — the station only airs a 10-minute local newscast weekdays at 5:30pm anchored by Louka Jacques, along with brief news updates in the morning and in the evening. There are only two anchors (one for the morning news update and one for the 5:30PM news). For a brief period in 2006, there was an occasional commentary by former MP Françoise Boivin on stories that made headlines.
