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?...
Ah, the #80s! #cfny formed #TheSpiritOfRadio and our identities. #alternative #music #TVOdocs

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.

On this day in 2015, Maie Pauts made her Toronto Mike'd debut. #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

A post about CFNY FM 102.1 Toronto being on fire during Chris Sheppard's Club 102. Just music, no streaming, no stopping
This is incredibly accurate @danielwell.bsky.social

Begin the day with @jerommegraham.bsky.social and a look at the new documentary celebrating legendary Toronto radio station #CFNY @alancross.bsky.social biffbampop.com/2026/01/10/s...
#CFNY The Spirit of Radio doc rocks on #TVODocs although it also skips and pops. My review of this appropriately rough cut of a profile here: tinyurl.com/4zxn434k
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.

... and if you caught them playing the same song twice in a 24-hour period they would pay you $102.10, if my memory is correct. #cfny
New documentary on CFNY coming out tomorrow, here's the trailer. #SpiritOfRadio #CFNY #Toronto #Ontario

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

In 1976, #CFNY launched from a small suburban house just north of Toronto and went on to become one of the most influential punk, new wave, and alternative #radio stations in the world.
"CFNY: The Spirit of Radio" premieres tomorrow at 9pm on #TVO.

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
It’s happening. It’s ready. #CFNY

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. 🎶🖤
Forgot about this one @danielwell.bsky.social #CFNY
#NowSpinning #FISHBONE #Interchords #Conversations #Live #Vinyl #Promo #LP #TruthAndSoul #CFNY #Toronto #KUSF #Ska #Funk #Punk #Soul #Rock #Music An incredible LP of conversations and alternating live cuts with a young, ambitious, hopeful band rising up from the LA underground...FISHBONE!!! 🔥
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
This gives me shivers. Loved those invisible airwaves~~! Thank you @danielwell.bsky.social #CFNY

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

cover to Wild Strawberries album Bet You Think I'm Lonely: a photograph of a girl dancing (presumably with her father) at a picnic. The photo has a blue filter.
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.

Excited for the potential release of the #CFNY documentary! While I was initially unsure about Alan Cross stepping in, I'm still eager to see this project come to life—and soon. 🎶📻 www.torontomike.com/2025/01/cfny... #TheSpiritOfRadio
