English Canada’s Only All-Classical Stations
C
lassical 96.3fm, 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).
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 John van Driel – 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, Zoomer® and arts reports. All this, plus uniquely
intimate and interactive “Live From the Lobby Concert” 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.

The Science of Classical Music
It's a beautiful thing.
Scientific research proves classical music causes the heart beat and
pulse rate to relax to the beat of the music.
As the body becomes more relaxed and alert, the mind is able to
concentrate more easily. Furthermore, classical music decreases
blood pressure and enhances the ability to learn.
Classical music has also been long associated with
improving memory, the information storing and processing
system of the brain that derives its actions from sensory input.
All this means, the classical radio format creates an
environment where advertising messages not only
have an increased opportunity to be noticed, but also
absorbed. And in today’s highly cluttered and fragmented media
landscape this is a huge advantage!
Capitalize on the power of classical radio – and grow
your business today! The New Classical 96.3 fm (Toronto) and
103.1 fm (Cobourg) are Ontario’s only commercial radio stations playing
all classical music!

Zoomers®ARE An Economic Force
542,000 Zoomers® tune into Classical 96.3fm for over 1.9 million hours every week!1
I
n 2008, Moses Znaimer launched and popularized the term Zoomer®
(Boomer with Zip!) to denote the 15.1 million Canadians formerly
known as the “45plus”. Since then he has assembled a full suite of
media (including Classical 96 & 103) dedicated to being the authoritative
voices for Zoomers® – unequivocally the single most powerful consumer
group in the history of the world!
For listeners our mission is to be Classical music radio for today; a voice
for the vibrant present, and future, of great music and arts in the GTA.
For advertisers our mission is to provide the showcase their messages
deserve, and offer the most effective means of communication with the
Zoomer® population – a market of 15.3 million people2, accounting for
60%3 of all consumer spending and controlling 65%4 of the wealth.
Are you really speaking to them?
Communicating means more than just arithmetic – reach, cost or other
media planning metrics. It also means involvement – delivering an
audience that is engaged, attentive and eager to learn more. It’s not
enough to just broadcast your message over the airwaves. Classical will
show you why context and content matter – a strategy that places your
brand at the forefront with listeners.

personnel. Thank you again for your commitment to our success.”
