Shoreline Classics FM radio relocating to Goderich from Kincardine

Shoreline Classics FM radio has announced it is moving its operations to Goderich from Kincardine, opening the new location Sept. 15.

That’s the word from general manager Nick Cadotte who says this move marks a significant and strategic decision for the station, as it continues to grow and invest in local, quality radio.

“We made the hard choice to move,” he says. “Our current space in Kincardine was listed for sale, and as we looked to upgrade equipment and production capabilities, we needed a location that made economic sense and gave us the lease flexibility to invest in the kind of high-quality radio our communities deserve.

“When looking for space, we were unable to find anything in Kincardine that suited our needs so we had to expand our search.”

The move will not impact the content or community spirit of Shoreline Classics, says Cadotte. The station will continue to play the widest selection of classic hits from the 1970s through the 2000s, with an unwavering commitment to local voices, local news and local engagement. It will still offer free morning show interviews for charities up and down the lakeside, news will stay exactly the same just that where it fires the mics will be the only difference.

Next month marks four years since Shoreline Classics was purchased from myFM and Blackburn, so it is fitting to launch in Goderich, Sept. 15, also the five-year anniversary of the Listowel station.

The on-air lineup includes:
 

• Roland Archer weekdays from 5:30-10 a.m., offering local interviews and great music
• Brandon Burge weekdays from 2-6 p.m., keeping the drive home fun with random facts, local information, and a listener-curated playlist
• Lucas, a recent, local broadcasting graduate, rocks the docks, Thursday through Saturday, from 7-11 p.m., bringing big weekend energy
• The man, myth and legend, Phil Main, keeps listeners informed and entertained every Saturday, from 7-11 a.m.
• And Greg eases you into your Sunday with Acoustic Sunday mornings — calm, curated, and perfect for a slow morning

“Local radio is alive and well,” says Cadotte. “And we’re going to keep investing in it.”

Listeners can also look forward to monthly community broadcasts with Archer along the shoreline, keeping the station connected to all the towns and voices that make this region special.
