‘CFNY: The Spirit of Radio’ Documentary Captures the Essence of Influential Ontario Rock Station

Now streaming for free via TVO Docs, the documentary focuses on the alternative spirit of the GTA station that made waves in the '80s and '90s before being rebranded as 102.1 The Edge. There are interviews with Rush’s Geddy Lee, Metric's Emily Haines, Sum 41's Deryck Whibley and more.

A new documentary is unpacking the rise of CFNY, the influential radio station born in the suburbs just outside Toronto.

CFNY: The Spirit of Radio focuses on the “golden age of radio in Canada," known as one of the first modern rock radio stations to have a major impact on the airwaves. After being acquired by TVO Docs, the documentary premiered in Canada on Jan. 6 and is also streaming for free via TVO and on YouTube (below).
