	CFNY
		CFNY was a groundbreaking free-format radio station based in the Toronto area.
		CFNY originally started operating in the 1960s, as an FM rebroadcast of an AM station, CHIN.
		The nearby Humber College[?] provided a steady stream of young employees, who were encouraged to play their own selections in the evening.

	The Spirit of Radio (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		CFNY 102.1 The Spirit of Radio is now edge 102.
		CFNY wasn't aiming for the greatest market share, or if it was, it was gloriously misguided.
		If you weren't around for CFNY and are still in your formative years, you owe it to yourself, but be warned, you will be spoiled and never enjoy the radio again.

	History of CFNY-FM 102.1 "The Spirit of Radio"
		In 1980, CFNY started the You Know Awards, a parody of the Canadian Junos, because they felt the Junos were "not at all representative of the activity in the industry" (Curlook 40).
		CFNY let its listeners choose the award-winners, and "for the first time in history, there was a group of fresh young winners that was reflective of our poll.
		CFNY has recognized that if it is to be the Toronto and Canadian new music outlet, a proper marketing approach for this new material must be implemented.

	CFNY Fan Page Testimonials
		I listened to CFNY from about 1980 or 1981 when the airwaves were filled with the sweet sounds of my youth up until it was replaced by the acrid sounds of crap.
		CFNY was ground zero for many a Toronto band and I've gotta tip my hat to Peter Goodwin and Liz Janik for giving Bullseye Records their commercial radio debut for our acts Moving Targetz and Swedish Fish on 'Streets Of Toronto' starting in 1985.
		CFNY's reception was really bad in the early 80s and my little camp friends from Kitchener-Waterloo and the Niagara region would lament that they could only get it on clear summer nights.

		CFNY 102.1 was a very unique and special radio station in the Toronto area that had become alive in July 1977.
		At that time, according to sales manager Jim Fonger, CFNY was "positioned in the marketplace for the 25- to 34-year-old who "can't stand the heavy metal and rock sounds generated by CHUM-FM, CHUM-AM and Q107, and who isn't ready for the "easy listening" sound.
		Although CFNY gained about 100,000 listeners in BBM's winter 1989 survey as a result of joining the mainstream, its overall market share was down quite a bit.

	CFNY 102.1 Reunion Articles: Toronto Sun, November 9, 2003
		It's against this demographic backdrop that CFNY celebrates its 25th anniversary this week -- one year after the Church of Boomer-dom, Q-107, celebrated its own.
		Since CFNY (which is tangentially what has become The Edge 102.1) was a 10-watt station in Brampton that broadcast from atop a Meccano set in the Halton Hills, it had the added romance of being hard to get.
		Though all of us played with wire hangers to improve the signal, my theory was that the clarity increased with the number of people in the room with dental fillings.

		These are two radio commercials that were produced by CFNY.
		The client was Fifth Richmond, who gave me the gig to both write and direct the spots.
		It was a lot of fun and I got to hang with Humble and Fred [if you'll accept "hang" to actually mean "stood in the same room"].

	Alan Cross - He's really smart. \| MetaFilter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		I used to love cfny back in the days when it was the Toronto station for breaking new music...I'll enjoy this thanks...
		When CFNY first hit the airwaves (late 70's), it was one of the best things in my teenage life.
		As for Cross, he was most approachable and personable when I'd bug him during breaks working at the CNE while he broadcast live from there and he's most approachable and personable when I've bugged him via email over the past few years.

		At that time CFNY was still located in the little yellow house in the middle of a field in Brampton, Ontario.
		The original studios for CFNY were in a bedroom of the old house.

	Martha & the Muffins Official Site
		Martha and Mark were asked to settle the debate which took place December 6th on Radiopro, an email subscription service run by Canadian radio veteran Warren Cosford as a forum for music industry pros.
		While the term "breaking" a band on radio has no strict definition, it was CFNY who first promoted the band on radio when Keith Elshaw, a CFNY DJ, played SUBURBAN DREAM and INSECT LOVE from MatM's 1979 indie release of the same name.
		Nevertheless, CHUM-FM was hot on CFNY's heels, playing MatM's indie disc as well as hosting a MatM live broadcast from Toronto's Palais Royale on June 18, 1980.

		I bring to the show a lot of Canadian talent east of Winnipeg and the rare gems that are so often very hard to get and hear on anything but a University radio Station or a tape of the old CFNY days.

		He was arguably the best-known progressive rock announcer in the country and one of the most progressive - always pushing the creative envelope a little further.
		By the '80s, it was on to program host and program director at CFNY, a station that remained true to the roots of progressive radio while testing new boundaries.
		Toronto radio listener Alan Powell was taping that night, and captured the breaking news and the accompanying raw emotion as it appeared on CFNY, CKFM and CHUM-FM.

	Eye Weekly - Editorials - 02.06.97
		'The Edge,' after his brief (but too long) stint with 'The Mix.' I missed him when he left CFNY in '91, and considered following him to 'The Mix' but I stuck with CFNY because Fred was still there, and I really like him too.
		(Besides, I had a gut feeling that Howard would return to CFNY, because he and Fred had become good buddies.) Humble and Fred are clever, funny, spontaneous, honest, animated -- love that group of animated shots of Howard -- and that front cover!
		They are definitely a cut above some of those other radio jocks who rely on contests and come-ons to keep their listeners tuned to the radio.
