TORONTO GETS GAY RADIO STATION



Canada's first commercial gay radio station, Proud FM, is now on the air in Toronto on 103.9 FM.

It broadcasts current hits, classic gay anthems, dance and classical music, and "unique and inclusive" talk shows.

The station says its low-power 50-watt signal reaches most of the city, and it hopes to have about 455,000 listeners per week.

The people behind 103.9 Proud FM say they hope to add diversity to the radio dial by exploring issues and stories relevant to Canada's gay and lesbian community — voices they say are largely unheard elsewhere.
