After decades of streaming and digital, music fans returning to some old-school ways - National | Globalnews.ca The arrival of Napster in the summer of 1999 jerked music fans away from analogue media into the world of digital. Now, though, we're seeing an interesting course correction.

If you grew up in late 70’s/80’s and were living near Toronto the best place to listen to music outside the norm was CFNY. A lot of my musical taste came from that wonderful station. Now there’s a doc on the station (VPN via Canada if outside) #music #cfny youtu.be/lmm50PHkU8c?...

TVO doc, 'CFNY: The Spirit of Radio' is a must watch for all Gen Xers who used coat hangers for radio antennas to catch the CFNY 102.1 radio signal.

I heard the best new, progressive music through heavy static in my childhood home in Southwestern Ontario thanks to #CFNY.

First time I remember hearing this, I was driving my Prince loving bisexual gf from Elora, Ontario to Humber College. In my VW van. Everyone passing me on the highway. 3 weeks later she broke up with me for a girl. #cfny

We watched this documentary that just dropped from TVO about #CFNY radio and it brought back so many memories. That radio station, its DJs and their exploration of #punk and #NewWave in the #80s, before anyone else in Toronto, influenced so much in my life. #TheSpiritOfRadio

Quite good, but at 100 mph. Would be interested in seeing the uncut version.

Interested in knowing more about the signal strength issue. I grew up in Don Mills near the Scarberia border and the station was always loud and clear.

A ★★★½ review of CFNY: The Spirit of Radio (2026) I rarely come away thinking a documentary was too short—but this one was. I could easily have watched three hours of it, and I doubt I was alone. I understand it was cut to fit TVO’s broadcast schedul...

This #documentary will be a must-see for fans of the heyday of #CFNY #radio. I remember for me in the 80s and 90s, 102.1 was the only station to which I would listen. #music #Toronto

David Marsden's Farewell to CFNY in 1987 In 1987, David Marsden left CFNY. As he left the Brampton studio for the last time, he left this note on the kitchen table. FOTM Leslie Kross kept that note, and today I share it with you.

Kind of neat to be seeing this the day prior to the doc's debut. -David Marsden's Farewell to CFNY in 1987 www.torontomike.com/2026/01/davi... #CFNY #TVO

Same!
Add Nickelback, Rush, basically all ProgRock, for me.
I was a New Wave sort, some punk vibes, basically early #CFNY with #DavidMarsden at the helm.
If you know, you know.

Neil Young, he can throw it down forever, the man is a #Canadian icon. 🎶🖤

I don’t say this often, but tune in to 102.1 FM Toronto in just 10 minutes. CFNY legend and fellow Chinguacousy grad Ivar Hamilton is back behind the decks—reviving the Spirit of Radio. #CFNY

Corus Radio makes two changes to its FM lineup - Cartt.ca Corus Radio announced last week the addition of The Drex Show to its Edge stations in Toronto and Calgary and the expansion of the popular Taz & Jim show to its 107.5 Dave Rocks station in southern On...

Bell tried—and failed—to nationalize Canadian radio. Why? Because radio, especially during drive time, is inherently local. Yet here’s Corus, giving Toronto and Calgary—yes, Calgary—the same show. cartt.ca/corus-radio-... #cfny

I know it hurts your ears @danielwell.bsky.social but New Order is so good. They can take the most miserable, depressive lyrics & make you wanna happy dance.

That's kind of a magic. #cfny

OTD in 1994 #WildStrawberries released their masterful third album. In the 90s, #CFNY had several songs on heavy rotation, including "Life Sized Marilyn Monroe," "Crying Shame," "The Way it Goes," and the title track, but "California" remains my favorite track.
