Arrr me mateys, there's a Zone plundering the airwaves

A Hundred watts on a dead man’s chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil be done at the ville named by a tree.
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

The mate was fixed by the bump'n' tunes
Broadcast’n’ on 93.9 FM in mono for good range.
And IC’s throat was marked belike
It had been gripped by compressed sound with levels almost going to ten
And there they lay all good listeners to the Music Zone
Like break o’ day travellin' on the Queen "E" and listenin'
Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum

Anybody else heard this station yet?  Clues are in the song above.

The ville named after a tree. Hmmm. Sounds like Oakville. I have a doctor's appointment in the NE part of the town on December 11. I will check it out.

Would have to wonder why this operation would want to be first-adjacent to CBL-FM, a nearby Class C1 broadcaster that is owned by the CBC and who's signal is protected in that area.

Has anyone caught and listened to this signal?

I am in Hamilton with a large antenna outside that may catch this, although no luck so far.

Is it indeed Oakville where this signal originates from?

I was in North east Oakville [Trafalgar/Dundas area] on Friday for a doctor's appointment and the 93.9 signal was relatively clear with some minor distortion but no interference from either CBC or WBLK. No announcers or ads when I was listening. I did hear one promo but the audio was somewhat muffled. No ID at the 10am top of the hour. Songs I heard included Isaac Hayes Theme From Shaft, Little River Band Reminising and the long version of All By Myself by Eric Carmen. Signal disappeared shortly after heading north of Dundas on Winston Churchill.
