Valley Country (CIVH) is a Canadian radio station that broadcasts a country music format at 1340 AM in Vanderhoof, British Columbia. It is owned by Vista Broadcast Group.
History
Prince George Broadcasting Ltd. (owner of CJCI) received a licence for a new AM station at Vanderhoof, British Columbia in 1973. CIVH began broadcasting on 1340 kHz later that same year. A year later in 1974, CIVH was authorized to operate a rebroadcast transmitter at Fort St. James, on 1480 kHz with the call sign CIFJ. Also in 1974, CIFL was added to broadcast at 1450 kHz in Fraser Lake.
On October 19, 1993, the station had received CRTC approval to convert CIFJ operating at 1480 AM to 92.7 MHz on the FM dial, although the move did not take place.
Over the years, the station had gone through different ownerships and is currently owned by the Vista Broadcast Group.
As of May 2017, CIVH's line-up is as follows:
- Mornings with Addison Petrie
- Afternoons with Duff
- Weekends with Mike
Rebroadcasters
In 2017, Vista Radio has voluntarily surrendered the licenses for all of their low-power 50 watt AM transmitters in British Columbia. Vista stated that the transmitting equipment for these facilities are in state of disrepair and would not be economically viable to replace them. The former rebroadcasters affected were:
- CIFJ 1480 Fort St. James
- CIFL 1450 Fraser Lake
