CFSL (1190 kHz is a Canadian radio station licensed to Weyburn, Saskatchewan. Owned by Golden West Broadcasting, it broadcasts a classic hits format serving the southeast portion of the province. The station shares studios with CKRC-FM and CHWY-FM at 305 Souris Avenue in downtown Weyburn.[1]

History

CFSL signed on in 1957 under the ownership of Soo Line Broadcasting Ltd., serving both Weyburn and Estevan (until the launch of its sister station CJSL in Estevan in 1961). Starting on 1340 kHz, it moved to its current frequency at 1190 kHz around 1991.

Soo Line Broadcasting, and both CJSL and CFSL would be acquired by Golden West Broadcasting in 1995. In 2006, CFSL would gain a sister FM station, CKRC-FM.

On November 15, 2023, both CFSL and CJSL flipped to classic hits, networking with all other Golden West AM stations in Saskatchewan. The country format moved to CHWY-FM.[2][3]

Programming

CFSL currently broadcasts a full service classic hits format. CFSL also carries Toronto Blue Jays baseball games.[4]
