Info

CFNY-FM, branded as 102.1 the Edge, is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 102.1 FM in the Greater Toronto Area. The station rose to prominence in the 1970s and 1980s due to its freestyle DJing format and unique (at that point) choice to play alternative music. Following a number of years hallmarked by internal problems and a listener rebellion as a result of management decisions, the station eventually evolved into its current format of modern rock. The radio station is currently owned by Corus Entertainment. The station's studios are based in downtown Toronto, Ontario at Corus Quay.
From 2004-2008, the station's program director was longtime on-air personality Alan Cross. During this period, Cross was named Canadian Program Director of the Year in 2005, 2006, and 2008. In 2008, Cross left for a position at Corus Entertainment's Splice Media interactive department and was replaced by Ross Winters. Winters was later fired in July 2013 and replaced by CILQ-FM program director Blair Bartrem, who oversaw both stations before being replaced himself by Dave Farough less than a year later.
