💛 DID YOU KNOW?
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.
Besides monetary donations, The Bay provides thousands of dollars in free advertising to local groups.

📣 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
