"CFYK-FM" was the previous call sign for what is now CBNY-FM, a repeater of CBU-FM Vancouver. CFYK-FM is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 98.9 FM in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. The station broadcasts the programming of the CBC Radio One network and locally produced programs. CFYK was licensed in 1948 after an application by the Department of National Defence on behalf of the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals. It began operating in 1951 as a community radio station and was managed by civilian committee. It was turned over to the CBC in 1958. Local programming CFYK produces all of CBC Radio's local programs in the Northwest Territories, including The Trailbreaker on weekday mornings, the noon-hour program Northwind, Trail's End in the afternoon, and Northern Air on weekend mornings. The station's afternoon programming also differs significantly from the rest of the network. Afternoon programming such as Q is pre-empted; instead, the station airs afternoon programming in First Nations languages. CHAK in Inuvik, while airing the same regular local programming schedule as CFYK, produces a distinct schedule of First Nations programming in the afternoons.

In addition, the new transmitter will broadcast at 5500 watts (up from the proposed 1200 watts) on a non-directional antenna, with its effective height of antenna above average terrain increasing from 46.6 metres to 50 metres. In addition, the station will carry the CFYK-FM callsign, which has been used for a local repeater of Vancouver's CBC Music outlet, CBU-FM, at 95.3 MHz; that repeater was renamed CBNY-FM after CFYK moved to FM.
