CBTK-FM

CBTK-FM is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts the programming of the CBC Radio One network in Kelowna, British Columbia. The station airs at 88.9 on the FM dial in Kelowna.

History

The station was launched in 1987. Prior to its launch, CBC Radio programming aired in Kelowna on private affiliate CKOV 630 in the AM band, while most of its other transmitters were rebroadcasters of Vancouver's CBU.

Local programming

CBTK-FM produces its own local morning show, Daybreak South, as well as a local afternoon show, Radio West, which airs across the whole interior of British Columbia.

Rebroadcasters

On April 12, 1985, the CRTC approved an application by the CBC to amend the broadcasting licences for CBXH Cooper Creek, CBDA Fort Nelson and CBKI Valemount by changing the frequencies from 1450 kHz to 1540 kHz (CBXH); 1240 kHz to 1560 kHz (CBDA); and 1450 kHz to 1350 kHz (CBKI). These AM transmitters were eventually converted to FM or shutdown.

FM conversions

  • On October 13, 2011, CBTK-FM applied to convert CBRD 860 Field from the AM band to the FM band. The application was approved on December 15, 2011 and the new transmitter will operate at 97.1 MHz. CBRD callsign will be replaced by CBTK-FM-1 once the flip from 860 AM to 97.1 FM occurs.
