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 on the FM dial in Kamloops.
The station was previously established in 1977 as a local rebroadcaster of Vancouver's CBU, replacing private CBC affiliate CFJC AM 550 (now CKBZ-FM 100.1). CBYK later 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 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 originally 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, that the region is more economically-tied with the Okanagan region than with Kamloops.
On September 6, 2012, it was announced that the CBC will 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, will begin October 9, 2012, officially launching the new regional network on that day. CBYK's studios and news bureau is based at the Bank of Montreal building on 218 Victoria Street in Kamloops.
