CFLY is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts at 98.3 FM in Kingston, Ontario. The station broadcasts a hot adult contemporary radio format branded as 98.3 FLY-FM. The station broadcasts with 100,000 watts of power from its trasmitter located in Harrowsmith.

The station was launched in 1953 as CKLC-FM, by St. Lawrence Broadcasting. AM sister station CKLC was launched at the same time. The station's original frequency was 99.5, and it was an affiliate of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Dominion Network. CKLC-FM 99.5's original purpose back in 1953 was to provide a reliable audio link for CKLC-AM 1380, which broadcast from a four-tower array on Wolfe Island. Equalized Bell Telephone broadcast lines were not reliable out to Wolfe Island back in 1953, and the FM signal carried the program feed of CKLC-AM, which was received at the AM transmitter site over the air, and re-broadcast on the 1380 AM signal. Eventually, the Bell line problem was resolved, and the programming on CKLC-FM gradually became its own.

CKLC-FM moved to 98.3 in 1973, and adopted its current callsign (CFLY) in 1978.

The stations were acquired by CHUM Limited in 1998. Since the 1980s, FLY-FM has programmed some variety of adult contemporary. In 1998 the station moved to a hot adult contemporary format, and in 2001 moved back to a regular adult contemporary format. In 2007, the station moved back to a hot adult contemporary format. On June 22, 2007 the stations were handed over to CTVglobemedia.
