CIXX FM is a broadcasting radio station licensed to serve London, Ontario, Canada. The radio works under the management of Radio Fanshawe. They established Canada’s first educational radio channel on October 31, 1978. It is a community-based campus radio channel by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).

FM is entirely operated and managed by the students enrolled in the Broadcasting, Media Production, Journalism, Radio, and Broadcast programs at Fanshawe College. Its transmission is on-airs on 106.9 MHz frequency on the FM band.
Its goal is to maintain a high-end, revenue-generating college radio that offers students real-world work experience while meeting our advertisers’ marketing objectives. Radio Broadcasting students work in on-air talk programming, announcing, writing, production, sales, promotions, and music programming. News stories, images, complete interviews, events, and contests are also broadcast on the radio. Journalism-Broadcast students manage under the title “XFM News” and provide newscasts for the channel. These students work through three different 5-week rotations each semester.
They are required to either be a Newscaster, Documentary Producer, or Reporter. In addition, students must attend events and conduct one-on-one interviews to help produce two local, new stories each day on the reporting rotation. As a Newscaster, each student takes turns transmission at the top of the hour mixing local, national, and international stories using Newsroom software. Most students produce as Documentary Producers; most students have three 4-minute radio features each week. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, radio was branded as 6XFM.
