CHOR began as CKSP in 1972 as a part time satelite re-broadcaster of the CKOK in Penticton. Okanagan Radio Limited put the station on the air to improve coverage to the north. The first manager of the station was Russ Mitton who was succeeded by Jim Hart who became Member of Parliament. The station originally broadcast local programing from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and eventually from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The CKSP call sign was changed by new owners in 1991.
