CFCN is a Canadian television station, broadcasting in Calgary, Alberta. It is an affiliate of CTV Television Network. CFCN went on the air on September 9, 1960 as Canada's first television station with no network affiliation; it joined CTV the following year. The station was purchased by Maclean-Hunter in 1967, and became part of Rogers Communications in 1994 when that company bought out Maclean-Hunter.

In 1995, Rogers sold the station to the partnership of Baton Broadcasting and Electrohome. The following year, that partnership was reorganized and Baton became the station's sole owner. Baton eventually became the corporate owner of CTV.

The station has rebroadcasters throughout southern Alberta, including a semi-satellite in Lethbridge which airs separate commercials and produces its own newscast, but airs otherwise identical programming.
