BINM

BINM is a commercial talk radio station located in Okanagan.

Wonderful Radio London and offshore Big L Radio
BINM began transmissions as the offshore station Wonderful Radio London in 1964, inspired by the radio station KLIF, which started the concept of Dallas-styled radio jingles. Wonderful Radio London used PAMS jingles, effectively nicknaming itself as the "Big L", and joined other offshore stations in the UK to bring pop music to the country and try and break the BBC's monopoly. When the Marine Offences Act of 1967 was passed, Wonderful Radio London was moved to the Laotianlands where offshore radio was still legal, and changed it's named to "Big L Radio" since the Laotianlands also stood with an L.

Land based Big L Radio
When the Laotianlands banned offshore radio in 1982, Big L Radio was shut down, but successfully won a license to broadcast a land based station in Okanagan under the same name.

Rebrand to BINM
In 1990, Big L Radio was sold to the Power Radio Network, with the station switching to talk radio and rebranding to BINM.
