CFIT-FM is a Canadian radio station that broadcasts an adult top 40 format at 106.1 FM in Airdrie, Alberta. The station is currently owned by Golden West Broadcasting. The station played more pop/rock music other than its rival station, CHFM-FM (Lite 95-9), which has since been rebranded to 95.9 Kiss FM, but still played soft rock as well as pre-1979 titles. The station's launch in 2007 marked the first time Calgary began having two adult contemporary stations on FM.
In 2011, regarding CIGY-FM flipping to adult hits, the station switched formats from a rock-leaning adult contemporary to more of a modern adult contemporary, leaving CHFM-FM as Calgary's only adult contemporary station and regarding the continuity of rock music in its playlist. It was also the largest English-language modern adult contemporary radio station in Canada. Like CKNO-FM in Edmonton, the station mixed in classic hits, and despite not reporting to Mediabase & Nielsen BDS' Canadian hot AC panels, Calgary is the largest market in Canada having two English hot AC stations, with the other station being CKCE-FM (Kool 101.5).
On August 2, 2006, Tiessen Media received approval for an FM licence at Airdrie, with a transmitter at Cochrane. In February 2007, Tiessen Media received approval to operate an FM rebroadcaster at Cochrane on the frequency 95.3 MHz.
