The Foxy radio station at
88.5 FM regularly states they play ‘unforgettable hits’
and ‘the very best music ever recorded’. If you enjoy
oldies tunes, but not necessarily rocky, then Foxy may be
just what you are looking for.
Tunes by Frank
Sinatra,
Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, Perry Como, Barbra Streisand,
John Denver, Stevie Wonder, ABBA and Linda Ronstadt, and
more are all played on Foxy almost non-stop. It’s an easy
listening station with a format that has proven very popular
since they changed to the ‘new’ Foxy in September 2001.
They are now heard across the GTA and north to Gravenhurst,
west to Brampton, and east to Oshawa.

The
newest addition to the Evanov Radio Group, which also
owns and operates Foxy's sister stations, the new Z103.5FM
-- the hits music channel, and AM530 multicultural radio,
Foxy’s unforgettable hits are aimed at the 35 to 64 year
old group, with an estimated listening audience of over
200,000.
Small
wonder, considering the proven popularity of the music and
the range of their coverage area. Programming includes a
lively morning show during the week, with supplementary
information to suit the unforgettable hits format, such as
Celebrity birthday's & events and Hollywood Headlines.
‘Crooners’ airs
every night from 7pm - 8pm and features the songs that
set the standard. Each weekend FOXY features
‘Superstar weekends’, with different artists and themes
in the spotlight. These include such stars as Dean Martin,
Neil Diamond and others.
Check on their website to find out who it will be
this weekend. ‘Sundays with Sinatra’, airs Sunday's at
10:00 am. Gary Gamble hosts this 30 minute weekly
special featuring the music of Old Blue Eyes.
The station’s on-air
personalities are no strangers to radio, music or the
previous formats at 88.5. Gary Gamble, Station Manager, does
the weekday mornings including the contests, trivia, wacky
but true news and the 8:30 joke of the morning. Adam
Robinson, News Director and Operations Manager, teams up
with Gary, while Richard Corell takes care of the middays,
and Barry White takes care of afternoons and early evenings.
