Radio Crescendo

This online radio station features a music format that blends hits from the past with contemporary favorites, playing pop music from the 1970s to the present day. While not adhering to strict pre-2000s formats, the station places a particular emphasis on music from the 1990s. Programming includes a dedicated 80s-themed show on Sunday mornings and a 90s special on Saturday mornings, both broadcast non-stop. On Saturday evenings, beginning at 6 PM, the station presents "The Party Playlist," designed as a soundtrack for evening entertainment. The station's name, "Crescendo," is an Italian classical music term signifying a gradual increase in volume, used here with a playful nod as the station primarily plays pop music, not classical. The name's pronunciation is noted as "cruh-shen-doh," but the station adopts a slightly altered spelling and pronunciation for its branding, aiming for a fresh and distinctive vibe. The stream is provided via TorontoCast and holds a SOCAN license.
