Will you miss CKOV-AM?

The Okanagan's longest-running AM radio signal went silent today.

At 1 pm, the CKOV-AM transmitter was turned off permanently, after 76 years of service in the central Okanagan.

For the past three months, programming on the 'new' B-103, legally CKOV-FM, has been available at 103.1 on the FM dial, but federal regulations have also kept our AM transmitter in service.

That time of simulcasting is now ending, and the 630 AM frequency will be turned back over to the CRTC.

CKOV went on the air in 1931, and three generations of the Browne family kept the station alive and thriving before it ultimately was purchased by its current operators, the Jim Pattison Broadcast Group.
