Hope on the Radio for Kelowna

Across Canada, thousands of people listen to UCB Radio each day for uplifting music, encouraging conversations, and reminders that God is with them.

Soon, that same voice of hope could be heard across Kelowna and the Okanagan.

UCB Radio has been approved to launch 88.1 FM in Kelowna, bringing worship music, prayer, Scripture, and encouragement to the community 24 hours a day.

But you don’t have to wait.

Sponsor the Kelowna Pre-Launch Stream

The Kelowna stream is already live through the UCB Radio App, online, TuneIn, and smart speakers. Before 88.1 FM officially launches, local businesses, churches, and organizations can help build momentum by sponsoring the pre-launch stream.

Your sponsorship helps keep hope playing now while supporting the fundraising efforts needed to bring UCB Radio to Kelowna on FM.

Sponsorship Opportunities

Major Sponsor — $5,000+
Includes stream ads until launch, logo recognition, launch email recognition, special recognition at the launch event, UCB Network on-air mentions, and 4–6 complimentary launch event tickets.

Community Partner — $2,000
Includes stream ads for 6 months, logo recognition, launch email recognition, special recognition at the launch event, and 2–4 complimentary launch event tickets.

Friend Sponsor — $1,000
Includes stream ads for 6 months, logo recognition, and 2 complimentary launch event tickets.

When the Kelowna station launches, it will bring encouragement, worship music, and the message of Jesus to the Okanagan every single day of the year.

To make that possible, we’re inviting people to help fund the first year of radio.

Each day of broadcasting costs about $1,000.

So we’re looking for 365 people, churches, businesses, and families who would be willing to become a founding partner and sponsor one or more Days of Hope.

When you become a founder your day(s) can be dedicated:

In honour of someone
In memory of a loved one
To celebrate a milestone
Or simply to help bring hope to the community

Your dedication will be shared on air, with a message like:

“Today’s programming is made possible by the Smith family, helping bring Christian radio to Kelowna.”

Imagine knowing you helped make a day of encouragement possible — a day when someone driving to work, sitting in a hospital room, or struggling through a difficult moment hears exactly the hope they need.

Will you become a Founding Partner and sponsor a Day of Hope?

Launching the station will require $365,000 to cover the first year of broadcasting.

$1,000 — Dedicate a Day of Radio

Or give any amount to help bring UCB Radio to Kelowna.

What Listeners Across Canada Are Saying

We love it. Actually our whole family listens to it all the time in the car, at home... Sometimes you know when you are feeling a little bit down you turn on the radio and it's encouraging and next thing you know you're just praising the Lord right along and your whole attitude changes. It's a blessing to everyone who hears it.

I always have the the radio going. Always have Christian music. And sometimes I can be doing something and I I can hear the words and then they'll just hit me and it could be kind of going through something I'm going through and the words that are are sung and just kind of helps me at that moment like I used to even listen to the secular music. But I don't listen to that. Hardly ever. Now it's always the Christian music. I don't know. It does something to my spirit, you know, fills my spirit.

Charlene

The devotional, the word for you today, I just love it. I get it in my inbox every morning and that's how I start my day is looking at your devotional. I find that God meets me where I'm at with those devotionals, like God continually surprises me through those devotionals. It's like he's speaking to me through those devotionals. And he's he's basically just saying, you know, that I'm with you. I understand the things that you're going through, whatever. And it amazes me how many times as soon as I read the title of the day for the devotional. It's like, ohh. I needed to read that today. So it's it's amazing how God has worked through those devotional.
