CKGF-2-FM is a Canadian radio station that broadcasts an English language commercial FM radio active rock format at 96.7 MHz (FM) in Greenwood, British Columbia. The station is currently owned by Vista Broadcast Group.
History
Okanagan Radio Limited (with headquarters in Penticton, B.C.)originally launched CKGF at 1340 kHz (AM) in Grand Forks, British Columbia in June 1969. The call letters "GF" stood for Grand Forks.
In 1984, CKGF received CRTC approval to add new FM transmitters in Christina Lake, Greenwood and Rock Creek, British Columbia.[1] The rebroadcast transmitters were on the air by the late 1980s. Around that time, CKGF began operating as a semi-satellite of CJAT in Trail. In 1993, CKGF began simulcasting programs of CKQR Castlegar.
On August 18, 2004, Boundary Broadcasting was authorized to delete the originating CKGF Grand Forks transmitter, which was already off the air. CKGF-2-FM Greenwood became the originating station for repeaters CKGF-1-FM Christina Lake, and CKGF-3-FM Rock Creek.[2] The arrangement would become official on January 16, 2007.[3]
On March 3, 2014, the CRTC approved Vista's application to operate a new originating station in Grand Forks, of which the current CKGF transmitters in Greenwood, Rock Creek and Christina Lake would rebroadcast. The new station will operate at 102.3 MHz with an average effective radiated power (ERP) of 589 watts (maximum ERP of 1,043 watts with an effective height of antenna above average terrain of -353 metres).[4]
