CKVB-FM, branded as Bay of Islands Radio, is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts a community radio format at 100.1 FM in Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador.
Since 2011, Bay of Islands Radio has maintained a full-time internet stream, broadcasting programs from a wide variety of topics and music genres produced by its volunteers. The station also broadcasts many local events that are of interest to the public, such as the bi-weekly live broadcast of Corner Brook City Council. The station is registered as a non-profit organization, and is operated entirely by volunteers from the surrounding communities of the Bay of Islands.
The station was founded in partnership with the Grenfell Campus Student Union (GCSU), and was operated on the premises of Grenfell Campus - Memorial University until January 2015, at which time it moved to a new facility on Brook Street, donated by the City of Corner Brook.[1]
On February 12, 2016, the station submitted an application to the CRTC for a license to operate a low power FM community radio station. The license approval was issued on October 6, 2016.[2] As of February 2017, the station has not yet commenced broadcasting on 100.1, but is currently in the process of fundraising the funds required to purchase the transmitter.[3]
