CFPL, or AM980, is a radio station owned by Corus Entertainment and based in London, Ontario, Canada that transmits at 10,000 watts at 980 kHz on the AM dial. The station primarily airs news, talk and sports programming.
Originally CJGC, it merged with CKOK Windsor to become CKLW in 1933. In 1934, the merger was dissolved and the former CJGC became CFPL. The station was an affiliate of the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission from 1933 to 1936 when it beame an affiliate of the new Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. From 1944 until 1962 it was an affiliate of the CBC's Dominion Network from 1944 to 1962 before that network was integrated into CBC Radio. The CBC affiliation continued until 1978, when CBC established CBCL-FM on 93.5 MHz, a rebroadcast transmitter of CBL in Toronto. The station played middle of the road and adult contemporary music into the late 1990s (and featured Top 40 music in some dayparts during the 1960s), but has since transitioned to 100% news/talk/sports.
