CBXFT is the Société Radio-Canada station serving Franco-Albertans in Edmonton and Alberta.

The station also has rebroadcast transmitters in Bonnyville, Falher, Fort McMurray, Grande Prairie, Hinton, Jean Côté, Lac la Biche, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat and Peace River.

A semi-satellite in Calgary (using the callsign CBRFT) airs separate commercials, but otherwise airs identical programming.

For the first three years, 1970 to 1973, CBXFT also aired weekday English-language educational programming from the Metropolitan Edmonton Educational Television Association (MEETA). This ended when ACCESS began in 1973.
