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.

Take Hope With You Everywhere

The easiest way to listen is through the UCB Radio App.

365 Days of Hope

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 sponsor 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 sponsor one Day of Hope.

When you sponsor a day, it 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 sponsor a Day of Hope?

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

Generous early supporters have already begun stepping forward — and 57 Days of Hope have already been sponsored.

That means 308 days are still waiting to be filled.

$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 have a son, 29. He's been in drugs and alcohol for 12 years. He just walked away from sober living. So [I] get hurt. And how do I get through this? Well, your radio station, when I found it, I turned it on. I just kept listening to this Christian station. Didn't know nothing about it. And of course [those] little girls right there and we're dancing, and it just gives us so much peace. Like, I'm more relaxed, more at peace. Even though I'm in the middle of a messy storm for The Who knows 25th time. And then this was last year I--when we made a house move, I've had it on every morning. So when I turn that on. I will pick out a song that morning and I'll just sit and listen and just don't move and I just close my eyes and I just turn that song into a prayer. How they pray it back to God right away and something happens. That song that really helps me and I'm crying because--because how much it means to me through my day. It really does inspire me to finish my day, and sometimes it's a long day, but there's something about radio, right? There's something about atmosphere in the home. It just changes things.

I've been in Fort McMurray for a couple of years, but I listen to UCB every day in my car at home. It connects me sometimes I think more than going to church connects me just the music and how music generally impacts our soul. And when you put Jesus in the mix of that music, it makes an incredible impact on your life. It really does. Even if you don't have, you know, like minded people around you or you know you're struggling to find a church just having Jesus come through that music into my heart and into my life every day. It's amazing. I couldn't--I couldn't change it, I wouldn't change it. I love this station and I love God.

Been in Fort McMurray now for 20, almost 25 years. So of course coming up here, I did get away from God, but in probably the last 3-4 years ended up going through some stuff. I lost my job and just think after going through that stuff and and getting back with God and getting back to church and just getting my family introduced to God again definitely changed my life and I have that radio station on pretty much 24/7 on in the house. My kids listen to it now. My teenagers and I've been listening to the radio station. Every song is just kind of gets me in that mood. When I go to work now I have it on, at work and people get in the truck and you know, they're kind of chuckle sometimes, but you know, it's just something that I think that resonates with my heart and my soul. With the times that we're in right now and the things that we're going through that I just believe this radio station is very important because we need Jesus right now, that's for sure. Everything that's happened in our lives in the last couple of years has been amazing and it's just been, it's great to see this radio station and the stuff that it's doing for people.
