The Bay gives back.
Through our community bingo fund, we’ve donated over $650,000 to Muskoka charities—including food banks, health initiatives, seniors and other local not-for-profits.
This money can’t be used for our operations, but we’re proud to help other organizations thrive. Now we need your help to keep our lights on.

π£ HEAR IT FROM OUR LISTENERS:
“No one else plays the music I make. The Bay gave me my first spin.” – Jamie Oppenheimer
“The Bay is what connects us. It’s like having a conversation with Muskoka.” – L T in Bracebridge
"Really enjoyed listening to your station on my four-day backcountry trip around the Rain Lake/Pincher Lake loop. I had 88.7 on for basically 12 hours per day, except at Islet Lake – I couldn’t receive it there, oddly. Anyway, you seem to have real DJs who actually play their own sets, which I think is very rare these days. I also enjoyed your interviews and a political scrum at around 6:00AM – the show with panelists who discus weird voting priorities and such. Long-live Hunters Bay radio!" - T W - Algonquin
"Best radio station in Ontario...I go out of my way to tune in Friday nights and Saturday afternoons wherever I am because you guys deliver!! Love the mix and never the same. Appreciate what you guys do. Thank you!!!" - D W
“They’ve given thousands to our food program. They walk the walk.” – Lynne Doyle
