Vista Rebrands two Ontario FM's

Barry's Bay CHBY-FM and Prescott's CKPP-FM are now Icon Radio

Icon Radio - It's About The Music

Both were Moose FM outlets

Re: Vista Rebrands two Ontario FM's

The hosts are "storytellers".  Kind of CBCish but in cottage country makes sense.  Music wasn't bad, I listened to Barry's Bay for about an hour yesterday.  Some cuts that don't get played anymore that were popular in the day and nice to hear again.  Best of luck Icon!  Interesting they made the change on the May 24.  I remember hearing The Moose and their "Commonwealth Long Weekend" programming with the Queen and Prince Philip on station breaks about five years ago for the 24th.  Very funny.

Perhaps one of the Muskoka-Cottage Country Moose's will go this route next. There are spots in the region where you can get three Moose's (so redundant).
