'''CFTR''' (680 [[AM broadcasting|AM]]; “680 NewsRadio Toronto”) is a commercial [[All-news radio|all-news]] radio station licensed to [[Toronto]], [[Ontario]], serving the [[Greater Toronto Area]]. Owned by [[Rogers Radio]], a division of the [[Rogers Sports & Media]] subsidiary of [[Rogers Communications]], the station became Canada's first solo station to broadcast an all-news radio format, following in the footsteps of the [[CKO]] national all-news radio network, a format that has since been replicated in major markets across the country. The CFTR studios are located at the [[Rogers Building (Toronto)|Rogers Building]] at [[Bloor Street|Bloor]] and [[Jarvis Street]]s in [[downtown Toronto]], while the station transmitter is located on the southern edge of [[Lake Ontario]] at Oakes and Winston Road (near the [[Queen Elizabeth Way|QEW]] and Casablanca Blvd) in nearby [[Grimsby, Ontario|Grimsby]].<ref>{{cite magazine | last= Rossiter | first= Eric | date= September 3, 1979 | title = CFTR Move Gets Approval | url= https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-DX/NRC-DX-News/V46-1978/DXN46_1978-1979_29.pdf | magazine= DX News }}</ref>

While CFTR broadcasts at the maximum power for Canadian AM stations, 50,000 [[watt]]s, it must use a complicated [[directional antenna]] system to avoid interfering with other stations on [[680 AM]]. In addition to a standard [[analog transmission]], CFTR is [[simulcast]] on the second [[HD Radio|HD]] [[digital subchannel]] of [[CKIS-FM]], and is available online. Its audio simulcasts on [[Bell Satellite TV]] channel 958.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.bell.ca/Styles/tv/all_languages/all_regions/pdfs/U3753%20WHS%20Prog%20Channel-DTH%20ON%20FEB%202016%20E.pdf|title=None}}</ref>

The station's studios and offices are located in the [[Rogers Building (Toronto)|Rogers Building]] at 1 [[Ted Rogers Way]] (also known as 1 Mount Pleasant Road) in Toronto.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://toronto.citynews.ca/contact/|title=Contact CityNews Toronto}}</ref>
