CFFR (660 AM) is a commercial radio station in Calgary, Alberta, broadcasting an all-news radio format. It is owned by Rogers Radio and is branded as 660 NewsRadio Calgary. The studios are on 7th Avenue Southwest in downtown Calgary.

CFFR is a Class B station. It is powered at 50,000 watts, the maximum for Canadian AM stations. AM 660 is an American clear channel frequency, so CFFR uses a directional antenna with a three-tower array to protect other stations from interference.[1] Its transmitter is off 48th Street West in Okotoks.
