CFBX-FM
CFBX-FM

CFBX-FM 92.5 FM, also known as "The X" , is a campus radio station at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, British Columbia. During the 1980s, CFBX began operations at the university (then called Cariboo College) as a closed-circuit radio station under the name CMMD Radio. CMMD was short for Communications Media, the name of the course that produced and aired the station's content, produced a monthly campus newspaper (the 210 Express) and a weekly in house television news program. At this time CMMD Radio was located in room 210 of the Old Main building and only broadcast to the student lounges and the cafeteria at specific times of the day. This was entirely due to the radio station being run on a volunteer basis by the students enrolled in the Communications Media Program and as a training environment for the course curriculum. Students were given free run of the content and types of music played, as long as it followed the rules and regulations setout by the CRTC. All advertising, station IDs and promos were written and produced by the students, and students were encouraged to go out into the community to gather news and cover community events. Unfortunately by the beginning of the 1990s, the Communications Media Program was dropped and CMMD Radio was off the air. During the early 2000s, CFBX applied to the CRTC for a license for a low-power radio station, which was approved.Following CRTC approval, the station commenced aerial broadcasting on April 2, 2001, at 8:00am. CFBX-FM is a member of the National Campus and Community Radio Association (NCRA).

CKBZ-FM

CKBZ-FM is a radio station in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada. Broadcasting at 100.1 FM, the station airs a hot adult contemporary format (per reporting status on Mediabase) branded as B-100. The station is currently owned by the Jim Pattison Group. The station was first launched in 1926 as CFJC 1120 AM, owned by the local N. S. Dalgliesh & Son department store. It was acquired by the Kamloops Sentinel in 1932, and changed frequency the following year to 1310. The station became an affiliate of the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission, a corporate precursor to the CBC, and retained an affiliation with CBC Radio's main network afterward. Its frequency subsequently changed to 800 AM in 1934, 880 in 1935 and 910 in 1941. The Sentinel finally sold the station to Inland Broadcasters in 1957. Sister station CFJC-FM was launched in 1962. CFJC dropped its CBC affiliation in 1977 when the CBC launched CBYK-FM, then a local rebroadcaster of Vancouver's CBU. The station then moved to its final AM frequency, 550, in 1979. CFJC and its FM sister station were acquired by the Jim Pattison Group, their current owner, in 1987. Pattison converted CFJC to its current FM frequency, adult contemporary format and call sign in 2001. By December 2010, the station switched formats to hot adult contemporary, dropping most classic hits from the playlist, and going head-to-head up against rock-leaning CHR/Top 40 station CKRV-FM (which had been hot AC up until 2010). CKBZ-FM had been a reporter on the Mediabase & Nielsen BDS Canadian hot adult contemporary panels before the switch to hot AC. CKBZ-FM was the last adult contemporary station reporter on the Mediabase Canadian hot AC panels, while the only non-hot AC stations on those panels such as CKRV-FM, CHSU-FM and CICF-FM are CHR instead.
