680 NewsRadio Toronto

680 NewsRadio Toronto (CFTR-AM) is a leading news and talk station broadcasting from Toronto on 680 AM.

Launched on August 8, 1962, it initially competed in the Top 40/popular music arena throughout the 1970s and 1980s. In June 1993, the station made a landmark shift to an all-news format, becoming Canada’s first commercial station dedicated solely to news coverage. Its programming follows a structured “news wheel,” delivering updates on headlines, traffic, and weather every ten minutes, with sports, business reports, and market insights strategically scheduled throughout the day. During important events, she switches to detailed live reporting to keep listeners up to date. Partnering with respected agencies like Canadian Press, ABC News Radio, and Bloomberg Radio, the station remains a trusted source of timely, reliable news.

680 NewsRadio Toronto continues to serve as a vital information hub for the city’s residents.
