It's one of the things that Canadian HD stations rarely try - a brand new format piggybacking on an existing station. And of all the places you wouldn't expect to find it, WBFO in Buffalo might be it. But the public broadcaster has started a new HD2 outlet called "The Bridge." It's aimed at audiences programmers believe aren't finding their music on local radio.

"The Bridge is home to the groundbreaking, alternative and occasionally idiosyncratic music of today alongside beloved classics," reads its press release. "Hear: Nirvana, Nathaniel Rateliff, Death Cab for Cutie, The Tragically Hip, Goo Goo Dolls, Arcade Fire, Mumford and Sons, U2, The Record Company, Black Keys, Elvis Costello, Pixies and more!"

"...We are committed to showcasing the work of diverse artists from Western New York and Southern Ontario who are not yet receiving the attention they deserve."

If you're a fan of this format, the real question is whether you'll be able to receive it in an already signal saturated Toronto market. If you can pull in WBFO at 88.7, you'll be able to listen to "The Bridge." If not, it's also streaming online here.
