CKDV-FM

CKDV, branded as 99.3 The Drive, is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting a classic rock format at 99.3 FM in Prince George, British Columbia.

The station was originally launched in 1946 as AM 1230 CKPG, and moved to AM 550 the following year. The station, owned by CKPG Radio Ltd., was an affiliate of the CBC's Trans-Canada Network. In 1961, CKPG Radio also launched the city's first television station, CKPG-TV. The stations were acquired by Q Broadcasting in 1969.

In 1981, a sister FM station, CIOI, was launched. The three stations were sold to Monarch Broadcasting in 1990, and then to the Jim Pattison Group in 2000. Pattison converted CKDV to its current frequency and format in 2003.
