CFGO is a commercial AM radio station in Ottawa, Ontario, broadcasting on 1200 kHz. It is owned by Bell Media and broadcasts a sports radio format, using the brand name TSN 1200 Ottawa. The radio studios and offices are in the Bell Media Building on George Street in Downtown Ottawa's ByWard Market. CFGO features local Ottawa sports shows most of the day, with programming from TSN Radio, ESPN Radio and Fox Sports Radio nights and weekends. CFGO is the flagship station for the Ottawa Senators NHL team.

CFGO is powered at 50,000 watts, the maximum for Canadian AM stations. Because 1200 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A WOAI San Antonio, CFGO must use a directional antenna to protect WOAI from interference. CFGO has a six-tower array on Moodie Drive at Barnsdale Road in Barrhaven, Ontario. CFGO audio streaming is also available through iHeartRadio.
