CIQC-FM is a Canadian radio station that broadcasts a contemporary hit radio format at 99.7 FM in Campbell River, British Columbia. The station was originally known as The River with an adult contemporary format before rebranding as 99.7 2day FM and is owned by Vista Radio.
The station originally began broadcasting at 1490 AM in 1963, with the call sign CFWB. On August 30, 2007 the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) partially approved an application by Vista Broadcast Group to convert the station to the FM band, but required the station to choose a different frequency than it had originally applied for. The station subsequently applied for the 99.7 frequency, which was approved on March 19, 2008.
On December 10, 2008, CFWB moved from the AM band to the FM band and rebranded itself as The River. CFWB's callsigns were changed to CIQC-FM on the same day.
CIQC-FM is difficult to receive south of Campbell River due to adjacent-channel interference with CHPQ-FM.
