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.

Until July 2020 the station used to carry Cree language programs,1 reduced from 80 to 15 hours per week in 20152 and now to be found on English CBC sister station CBMP-FM.3
