History

edit
 
Logo as B104

The station originally began broadcasting in 1995 as CKKR until it was changed to the current callsign in 2000 as CHBZ.[1] In 2004, CHBZ was given approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to add a transmitter at 92.7 FM in Fernie.[2]

In October 2022, the station rebranded from B104 to Wild 104.7, adapted from Calgary sister station CKWD-FM.[3]
