CFNS was a francophone community radio station which aired from 1952 to 1973. It was purchased by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in 1973, and continues to broadcast as CBKF-2 860.
CJUS-FM, which ceased broadcasting in 1985, was the campus radio station of the University of Saskatchewan. The university has never launched another terrestrial radio station, although an Internet radio operation was launched in 2005 under the CJUS name.

Network programming from the United States is received on cable via satellite from affiliates in Detroit, Michigan and Rochester, New York (and, briefly, WTOL in Toledo, Ohio, after WJBK switched networks in 1994). When cable transmissions began in the late 1970s in Saskatoon, American network programming was piped in via microwave transmission from broadcasters in North Dakota (specifically Williston, Devils Lake and Fargo) until the fall of 1984 when these were replaced by stations from Detroit (stations from Toledo and Rochester were added in the 1990s). US superstations, as well as Canadian and US-based cable network programming is also available via Shaw or satellite providers. Digital cable service is also available.
As well, Sasktel provides cable television service through their service. On this cable system, American network programming is received from affiliates in Boston, Massachusetts, Minneapolis, Minnesota and Seattle, Washington.
In the late 1970s, Saskatoon was serviced by CPN, a Saskatchewan-based cable system and competitor to Telecable that provided several first-generation specialty channels (including HBO) for about two years before folding. A Saskatchewan-based movie channel, Teletheatre, served Saskatoon during the early 1980s until it was replaced by what would eventually become Movie Central.
