Bayshore Broadcasting Corporation
Bayshore Broadcasting Corporation began as a single radio station, CFOS, which signed on the air March 1, 1940 in Owen Sound, Ontario. More than 80 years later, Bayshore has grown into a successful independent private broadcasting company, operating nine radio stations in Grey, Bruce, Simcoe, Dufferin, and Huron Counties, and the District of Muskoka. Their radio signals cover southern Ontario from the GTA north to the tip of the Bruce Peninsula, and the Lake Huron shoreline from Sarnia to Parry Sound. They serve Ontario’s cottage country, home to hundreds of thousands of year-round residents and millions more visitors throughout the year.
