ABOUT THIS STATION
The New Classical FM, home of Toronto’s Classical Favourites, started its life more than a quarter of a century ago as a humble classical music station in beautiful Cobourg Ontario (still broadcasting as Classical 103.1 FM). On August 30th, 2014 we expanded our signal across the Georgian Triangle with Classical 102.9 FM, while maintaining our flagship signal here in Toronto at 96.3 FM. - We are English Canada’s only all classical music radio stations. - We are Mozart & Movie Music. Bach & Bernstein. Opera & Crossover. - We are a new attitude for one of the oldest art forms in Western Civilization. - Programmed by Paul Thomas who popularizes classical music to make it more accessible to the public at large. We offer listeners the greatest music of all time plus up-to-the minute news, weather, traffic, ZoomerReports and arts reports. All this, plus uniquely intimate and interactive “Live From the Concert Lobby” performances which have featured such luminaries as piano virtuosi Lang Lang and Yundi; opera stars Ben Heppner and Measha Brueggergosman; popular crossovers singers such as Katharine Jenkins and Josh Groban; and super groups like The Tenors, Il Volo and the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra.
