The station originally began broadcasting in 1995 as
CKKR until it was changed to the current callsign in 2000 as
CHBZ. In 2004, CHBZ was given approval by the
Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to add a transmitter at 92.7 FM in
Fernie. In October 2022, the station rebranded from
B104 to ''Wild 104.7 - East Kootenay's New Country'', adapted from Calgary sister station
CKWD-FM. == Rebroadcasters ==
