CBYK-FM
CBC Radio One station in Kamloops, British Columbia
CBYK-FM is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts the programming of the CBC Radio One network in Kamloops, British Columbia. The station airs at 94.1 FM in Kamloops.
History
The station was established in 1977 as a local rebroadcaster of Vancouver's CBU, replacing private CBC affiliate CFJC (now CKBZ-FM). CBYK switched to CBTK-FM Kelowna after regional programming for the Southern BC Interior commenced from that station in 1987.
On October 28, 2011, the CBC filed an application with the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to convert CBYK-FM from a rebroadcaster of CBTK-FM to an anchor of a new 23-station regional CBC Radio One network for the Thompson and Cariboo regions, with regional programming originating from new studios in Kamloops. Under CBC's proposal, the stations under CBYK-FM would have its own morning rush hour program originating out of Kamloops instead of rebroadcasting the programming out of Kelowna, and there would be several news updates throughout the day originating from Kamloops on weekdays. All other programming would be the same as those broadcast in Kelowna. After the application was heard on January 16, 2012, at a CRTC meeting in Miramichi, New Brunswick, the CRTC approved the new regional network on March 30, 2012. Repeater CBUC-FM in Salmon Arm, which was to have been part of the new network, will remain a repeater of CBTK-FM, following interventions from various parties, including the City of Salmon Arm, as the region is more economically tied with the Okanagan region than with Kamloops.
On September 6, 2012, it was announced that the CBC would launch the new regional network sometime in the fall of that year, with specifics to be announced during the current regional morning program, Daybreak Kelowna, on September 10, 2012; it was announced that day that the new regional morning program for Thompson and Cariboo, Daybreak Kamloops, would begin October 9, 2012, officially launching the new regional network on that day.
