CFXN-FM is a Canadian radio station, that airs a classic hits format at 106.3 FM in North Bay, Ontario. The station is branded as 106.3 Moose FM with the slogan North Bay's Biggest Variety. The station plays a variety of current, recent and older hits. It is a "middle of the road" format positioned between the city's Top 40 and hard rock stations.
The station was licensed on the basis of a proposal to air a country music format similar to that of the co-owned CHMT in Timmins. Instead, North Bay's CFXN broadcast an adult hits format from startup in 2006 until changing to a light AC format in February, 2012, then to Variety Hits in April 2013. The new format of Biggest Variety stands alone as an option for 25- to 54-year-old listeners in the market.
Originally owned by Haliburton Broadcasting Group, the station was licensed by the CRTC in 2005.[1] As of 2012 the station is owned by the Vista Broadcast Group.[2]
On October 29, 2019, Vista applied to operate a new FM radio station in North Bay. The new station would operate at 90.5 MHz making it a sister station to CFXN-FM.[3] Vista received CRTC approval to operate a new oldies radio station at North Bay on May 25, 2020.[4] The call sign will be CFCH which are heritage calls for North Bay once belonging to what is now CKFX. Vista launched CFCH-FM at 90.5 MHz on June 15, 2021.
