History

CKOK Ltd. the original owner launched the station in December 1966 as CKOO. Sometime in the late 1970s or the early 1980s, a rebroadcaster was added in Oliver at 1490 AM with the callsign CKOO-1. In 1984, CKOO and CKOO-1 were authorized to increase night power from 250 to 1,000 watts. In 1991, CKOO and CKOO-1 adopted their current callsigns CJOR and CJOR-1. The CJOR callsign was previously used at an unrelated radio station in Vancouver from 1926 to 1988.
Over the years, the station went through a number of owners and formats. In 1993, CJOR received CRTC approval to convert CJOR-1 Oliver to the FM dial to operate at 102.9 MHz.
In May 2021 as part of a mass reorganization, CJOR flipped to adult hits as Bounce 1240.
The station has been sold to Vista Radio in 2024, as part of Bell Media's cuts, which was approved by the CRTC on February 13, 2025.
The sale took effect April 14, 2025 and Vista rebranded the station to Classic Hits as 1240 Summit.
