CHBZ-FM (104.7 FM, Wild 104.7 - East Kootenay's New Country) is a radio station in Cranbrook, British Columbia. Owned by Pattison Media, it broadcasts a country format.

History

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.
