610 AM is a regional broadcast frequency. There are four stations in Canada on this frequency, although CKYL is planning to move to FM.

On April 25, 2009, CHNL received CRTC approval to add a transmitter in Merritt at 1230 kHz.[2] The transmitter took over the AM frequency of Merritt's local radio station CJNL, which converted to 101.1 MHz and now broadcasts with the call sign CKMQ-FM.
