CJDC is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 890 AM in Dawson Creek, British Columbia, with a repeater broadcasting at 92.7 FM in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia. The station, owned by Vista Radio, airs a country music radio format, and as of April 14, 2025, is branded as CJDC AM 890 The Ranch. CJDC broadcasts with a power of 10,000 watts day and night, using a non-directional antenna during daytime and a two-tower directional antenna during nighttime, to protect two American Class-A clear-channel stations broadcasting on the same frequency – KBBI (Homer, Alaska) and WLS (Chicago, Illinois) – from interference by skywave propagation. Its broadcast area reaches Valleyview, Alberta, Grande Prairie, Chetwynd, British Columbia, Fort St. John, British Columbia, Cecil Lake, Rose Prairie, and many other rural communities in the Peace Region. It is one of the few stations that is received clearly by many people in the rural areas of the Peace Region.
