CHFM-FM (also called Lite 95-9) is a radio station in Calgary, Alberta, which broadcasts at 95.9 MHz FM with a repeater at Banff on 99.3 MHz. With the motto "Today's Best Music", CHFM features an adult contemporary format.

From its debut in 1962 until the early 1990s, the station was known as simply CHFM 96 with a beautiful music/soft AC format. In the early 1990s, it became Lite 96 CHFM with an adult contemporary format and used the callsign in the branding until 2004. After that, the station dropped the calls from the station's logo. It became known as Lite 96 with the Today's Lite Rock slogan. During their most recent rebranding on December 26, 2010 to "Lite 95-9", the station dropped the "Today's Lite Rock" slogan and adopted the "Today's Best Music" slogan and more rhythmic contemporary tracks were added. The change was based on similar changes at CHFI. In addition, the pre-1979 titles have faded from rotation.

Since 2011, CHFM-FM is once again the only adult contemporary station in Calgary (like most Western Canada markets including Vancouver's CHQM-FM & Edmonton's CKEA-FM) since the move of modern adult contemporary from CHUP-FM (by that time CIGY-FM, although that station is now adult hits) to CFIT-FM, replacing rock-leaning adult contemporary. However, CHFM has skewed away from the traditional soft rock artists, and now primarily plays adult top 40 hits, but continues to report as an adult contemporary per Mediabase, Nielsen BDS and its parent, Rogers Radio, as CKCE-FM serves as Calgary's Hot AC station.

CHFM is currently ranked #6 in the Calgary market ratings as of the Fall 2011 BBM Radio PPM data report.^[1]
