CJIB-FM
Radio station in Vernon, British Columbia
CJIB-FM (107.5 MHz) is a radio station in Vernon, British Columbia, Canada. Owned by the Jim Pattison Group, it broadcasts an adult hits format branded as Beach Radio 107.5.
History
The station began broadcasting in 1947 as CJIB at AM 940 kHz and went through different ownerships over the years. The station was affiliated to CBC Radio's Dominion Network from 1949 until 1962. On March 15, 2001, CJIB was converted to the FM band at 107.5 MHz becoming Vernon's first ever FM radio station.
In late 2001, CJIB adopted new call letters as CKIS which lasted until 2003 (now assigned to a station in Toronto), at which time it took the callsign CKIZ, and changed formats to hot adult contemporary. CKIZ-FM reverted to AC in 2007.
On February 25, 2005, Rogers Radio was given approval by the CRTC to add a 10 watt FM transmitter at Enderby at 93.9 MHz to rebroadcast the programming of CKIZ-FM, which was no longer receivable there after its conversion from the AM band in 2001.
In 2010, the station was sold to the Jim Pattison Group.
On December 14, 2017, the station re-branded from 107.5 Kiss FM to Beach Radio 107.5, flipping to adult hits.

Why this record matters
The phrase “radio station in Vernon, British Columbia” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5012397. Authority coordinates are 50.224, -119.303. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1947, 1949, 1962 and 2001.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
