CKHL-FM is a Canadian radio station, that broadcasts a country format branded as River Country at 102.1 FM in High Level, Alberta, Canada.

The station originally began broadcasting in 1988 on the frequency 530 AM, an unusual frequency for a commercial radio station,[1][2] and was also used to rebroadcast programs of CKYL in Peace River, until it moved to its current FM frequency in 1999.[3][4] The station was later authorized to delete its former AM transmitter.[5]

The station is owned by Peace River Broadcasting and is also heard on a number of frequencies throughout the Peace.[6]

In 2018, YL Country became River Country.

In April 2018, CKHL received CRTC approval to decrease power from 34,000 to 29,000 watts, and to raise antenna height.[7] [8]
