AM radio station inPort aux Basques, Newfoundland and Labrador ,Canada , broadcasting at 1230kHz . Originally launched as a repeater onAugust 7 ,1971 , it opened its own studios in 1973. In the 1990s, it became a repeater of CFSX. The station is owned byNewcap 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 twice-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.
