CFJC-TV, VHF analogue channel 4, is a City-affiliated television station located in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada. The station is owned by the Jim Pattison Broadcast Group subsidiary of the Jim Pattison Group. CFJC maintains studio facilities located on Pemberton Terrace and Columbia Street West in Kamloops, and its transmitter is located near Southern Yellowhead Highway/Highway 5, southeast of Kamloops Airport. On cable, the station is also available locally on Shaw Cable channel 7 and regionally on Bell TV channel 259. On satellite, the station is available on Shaw Direct Classic tier channel 309 and Advanced tier channel 013. There is also a high definition feed available on Telus TV channel 692, and Shaw Direct Classic tier channel 007 and Advanced tier channel 507.
The station first signed on the air on April 8, 1957 as CFCR-TV, originally operating as a CBC affiliate; the station changed its call letters to CFJC-TV (taken from local radio station CFJC, its owner at the time) on September 1, 1971. The television and radio stations were purchased by the Jim Pattison Group in 1987.
By the 1990s, CFJC had delegated its national advertising sales to Western International Communications, owner of fellow CBC affiliate CHBC in Kelowna. WIC began selling the two stations' advertising as a single unit under the name "BCI TV". For years, both stations carried virtually identical programming schedules apart from local newscasts, with the majority of non-CBC programming coming from Global and, to a lesser extent, WIC itself (Global was not available as a standalone network in the B.C. interior until Vancouver station CHAN-TV became an affiliate in 2001). Canwest acquired CHBC in 2000 and assumed the same role in selling advertising and providing programming, primarily from its CH television system. During the 1990s and early 2000s, the station branded itself as "CFJC TV7", in reference to its cable channel position in the Kamloops area.
