CFBK-FM is a Canadian radio station that airs at 105.5 FM in Huntsville, Ontario with a adult contemporary format.

CFBK originally began broadcasting in 1958 as CKAR on the AM band at 590 kHz. The station launched a repeater in Parry Sound known as CKAR-1 the same year. In 1977, CKAR became CFBK. In 1961, CFBK moved to 630 kHz and remained on that frequency, until the station converted to the FM band at 105.5 MHz in September, 1987 [* [http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Decisions/1987/DB87-150.HTM Decision CRTC 87-150] ] and the old AM 630 frequency left the air for good on December 31 the same year.

(CKAR was a former callsign of a radio station in Oshawa, Ontario, known today as CKDO, and the CKAR callsign currently belongs to a television station in Armstrong, Ontario, known as CHFD-TV).

Formerly owned by Muskoka-Parry Sound Broadcasting, the station's acquisition by Haliburton Broadcasting Group was approved by the CRTC on February 21, 2008. [ [http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Notices/2008/pb2008-14.htm 2007-1260-6] ] [http://www.crtc.gc.ca/public/broad/applications/2007/2007-1260-6.zip]

CFBK's branding was More-FM and possibly changed to its current branding Moose FM or New 105.5 FM after the acquisition by the Haliburton Broadcasting Group.

On May 1, 2008 CFBK-FM applied to the CRTC to increase its effective radiated power. [ [http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Notices/2008/pb2008-37.htm Broadcasting Public Notice CRTC 2008-37] ]
