Country 103

Country 103 has been Kamloops Home for Continuous Country Favorites since launching in August of 2006. We are proud to be among the leaders in the support and development of homegrown talent by playing a minimum 40% Canadian Content each and every week. Wednesday Noon Hours are highlighted by the BC Artist Showcase where we feature the music of, and profile established and emerging BCCMA Artists.

As a result of the incredible depth of talent in Canadian Country, we created what we refer to as an Emerging Can-Con Category where selected songs receive 1-2 spins weekly from 9am-Midnight to familiarize our listeners with these future stars.3 BC Artists who we started out in this category before they went on to become household names include The Higgins, Jessie Farrell, and Ridley Bent.

On Country 103 we play the Superstars while also paying homage to the Great Names of the Past with The Country 103 Legend Series, along with Country Gold which featuring the hits of the 50’s through the 90’s. Daily features like the Country Music News, Starwatch, The Entertainment File, and Country Spotlight keep our listeners right up to date with the information they need on the Artists they love.
