CHNL (610 AM, "Radio NL") is a radio station in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada. Owned by Stingray Radio, it broadcasts a full-service classic hits format.
610 AM is a regional broadcast frequency. There are three stations in Canada on this frequency.
CHNL has been a mix of news/talk station since September 2006 and a classic hits station since April 2014. Prior to it, the station aired an adult contemporary format and branded as a "lite hits" station in the 1980s.
On April 25, 2009, CHNL received CRTC approval to add a transmitter in Merritt at 1230 kHz. [1] The transmitter took over the AM frequency of Merritt's local radio station CJNL, which converted to 101.1 MHz and now broadcasts with the call sign CKMQ-FM . 1230 kHz went off-air for good on September 15, 2020 when the land owner did not renew the lease on the transmitter property.
In 2017, station owner NL Broadcasting was acquired by Halifax-based Newcap Radio. [2] Newcap was in turn acquired by Stingray Group in 2018. [3]
On September 24, 2024, Stingray announced cuts to CHNL, laying off several of its news reporters, and transitioning the station from a pure news/talk format to a classic hits format, while maintaining some of its talk and sports programming. [4] [5]
