History

On November 27, 2006, 0749943 BC Ltd. (Matthew G. McBride) received approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to operate a new english-language FM radio station at Pemberton.^[1]

By late November 2007, studio space was leased and prepared, but problems arose with the transmitter installation on Signal Hill, and further problems with telephone line installations delayed the sign-on. CFPV-FM signed on June 6, 2008 at 7:00am.

On February 28, 2020, the CRTC denied a renewal to CFPV's license (which expires on March 31, 2020), citing a long-term pattern of non-compliance with various regulatory and license requirements, including a failure to keep and submit complete and accurate program logs, failure to pay required contributions to Canadian content development (CCD), failure to broadcast on-air notices informing listeners of its previous non-compliance, as well as a poor commitment to on-air content of local interest.^[2]
