CBFG-FM is a mainly-French-language Canadian radio station located in Chisasibi, Quebec.

It is owned and operated by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (French: Société Radio-Canada), which is owned by the Government of Canada. It broadcasts on 103.5 MHz with an average effective radiated power of 85 watts (class A1).

The station has an ad-free news/talk format and is the flagship of the regional Ici Nord-Québec network, which carries programming from the Canada-wide Ici Radio-Canada Première network, and some regional programming. Like all Première stations, but unlike most FM stations, it broadcasts in mono. The network serves ten First Nations communities in Nord-du-Québec and adjacent regions.

Programming

During most of its programming day, CBFG-FM largely rebroadcasts Radio-Canada flagship CBF-FM in Montreal, including morning program Gravel le matin, afternoon show Le 15-18, and Saturday morning program Samedi et rien d'autre. Until July 2020 the station used to carry Cree language programs,^[1] reduced from 80 to 15 hours per week in 2015^[2] and now to be found on English CBC sister station CBMP-FM.^[3]

Transmitters

At least seven of these transmitters used to be repeaters of CBF-FM: CBFA-FM-1 Manawan, CBFA-FM-2 Obedjiwan, CBFW-FM Wemindji, CBFM-FM Mistissini, CBFA-3 (later re-called CBFG-FM-3) Wemotaci, CBFH-FM Waskaganish, and CBFV-FM Waswanipi; these repeaters changed their source of programming from CBF-FM to CBFG-FM following approval by the CRTC on October 30, 2012.^[4]^[5] It is unknown if CBFG-FM was a repeater of CBF-FM.

On July 15, 2015, the CRTC renewed CBFG's licence until August 31, 2018.^[6]

On August 2, 2018, the CRTC approved the removal of transmitters CBAF-FM-1 Manouane, CBFA-FM-2 Obedjiwan and CBFG-FM-3 Weymontachie, Québec from license CBFG-FM Chisasibi, Québec to station CBF-FM-8 Trois-Rivières, Québec. (CRTC Administrative Decision 2018-0525-1, August 2, 2018)
