CFWD (branded as Wired 96.3) is a new radio station in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The station broadcasts at 96.3 FM and plays a contemporary hit radio format. Licensed to Harvard Broadcasting on May 28, 2007 [1], the station was originally scheduled to launch on 92.3 FM. However, it applied for a change of frequency to 96.3 FM, citing the potential for third-adjacent interference to CKBL [2] [3].

On April 9, 2008, the station began broadcasting Christmas music and running station IDs calling itself "Santa FM - Saskatoon's #1 Christmas music station" in what is presumed to have been a publicity campaign leading up to the actual launch of the station. On April 11th, 2008, the station launched as Wired 96.3 with a contemporary hit radio format.
