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

Last year, Ranger Lake Bible Camp partnered with UCB Radio to sponsor a camper through their Hope Together program. The camper and his family were deeply grateful for the opportunity, and we are thankful for UCB Radio’s continued love and commitment to sharing the impact of camp.

Camp was a blast this summer! My cabin was called the Inn, and I made lots of new friends there. My favourite activity was archery. I thought it might be hard, but it turned out to be awesome. I especially liked the game we played with the foam arrows—it made me laugh so much, and everyone was cheering each other on. I also tried rock climbing. It was really tricky, and my arms got tired, but I was proud that I kept pushing and climbed higher than I thought I could. The food at camp was yummy too. My favourite meal was on the very first night when we had spaghetti. It was so good after a big day of activities. Another big thing for me at camp was being around horses. Before, I was afraid of them, but spending time near them helped me realize how gentle and cute they are. Now I really like horses! I am grateful to have had this experience. I know I wouldn’t have been able to go without the help of one very kind person who paid for half of my camp, and UCB Radio, which covered the other half. You both gave me the chance to try new things, make friends, and create memories I will never forget. Thank you so much for making camp possible for me!
