CKBI 900 AM with the branding of Today’s Country launched in 1930 is a Jim Pattison Group station that hosts country music for the Prince Albert audiences.

In 1933 a commercial license was granted and 10BI was replaced with CKBI and the frequency assigned was 1210 kHz with and ERP of 100 watts. CKBI moved to news studios and wattage got increased from 100 w to 250 w.
