CFBN was a Canadian radio station, broadcasting on AM 1280 in Mississauga, Ontario. The station, owned by the Greater Toronto Airports Authority, aired a business news format syndicated from Canada's Business Network, as well as some travel and weather information reports for Toronto Pearson International Airport.
