History

In 1965, a group headed by Minno Walter Hodge received approval for a new AM station to serve the Carrot River Valley area, from Melfort. The station originally began broadcasting on October 8, 1966, at 1420 kHz as CJVR.

On February 22, 1995, CJVR received approval by the CRTC to change CJVR's frequency from 1420 to 750 kHz, which was vacated by CJWW in Saskatoon. [2]

On March 1, 2002, the station changed call signs to its current CKJH, and changed formats from country to oldies/classic hits, with country moving to newly launched CJVR-FM.

On August 20, 2018, the Jim Pattison Group announced its intent to acquire Fabmar Communications pending CRTC approval. [3] The sale made CKJH and CJVR-FM sisters to Jim Pattison Group's cluster in Prince Albert. Following the acquisition, in May 2019, the station flipped to adult hits as Beach Radio, re-focusing on hit music from the 1980s and 1990s. [4]
