Kicx 106 FM - HOT New Country
KICX 106 returned to its roots in Orillia a few years ago using the 105.9 FM frequency it started with over 10 years ago. It allows us to better serve all of Central Ontario, and in particular Orillia, a city where country music has always excelled. The same award-winning programming will serve residents from Huntsville to Newmarket and everywhere in between.
KICX 106’s morning show is hosted by well known broadcaster Jack Latimer. Jack is synonymous with excellent radio in this region for over 30 years. He’s a great entertainer and well respected in our communities. His co-host, Carey Moran, has won two Canadian Country Music Awards for Personality of the Year. The remainder of our outstanding on air team includes Amy Aust on afternoon drive, Neil Anthony, Michael Bullock, David Best, Leanne Newman and in news, Martin Vanderwoude.
KICX FM is a Canadian radio success story. In just over 10 years, it has been recognized with 16 industry awards, including the Canadian Country Music Association’s Station of the Year for six of the past seven years. We’ve accomplished this by listening carefully to our customers and delivering on what they want.
New country is North America’s second most listened to radio format and it’s growing in Canada. In fact, our “home-grown” artists are amongst the most successful in the world. Performers such as Shania Twain, Paul Brandt, Terri Clark and Michelle Wright are selling millions of CDs.
New country’s roots are in folk, rock, blues and country. Much of its success is attributed to the fact that most adults can relate to the lyrics of the songs. They’re about families, having kids, living on a budget, relationships that don’t work out. They reflect life.
Country is back where it belongs, along with compelling and entertaining local programming.

The Dock FM - Simcoe County's Greatest Hits
I’m a Little Bit Rock & Rock
Wake up with Roop, Wicks & Meg – they’ve got everything you need to start your day. Award winning on-air personality Ted Roop brings his personality, wit and observations to the breakfast table. Brian Wicks will keep you informed with news, weather, sports, traffic - everything you need to get your day going. Meg Whitton will keep you up to speed on the local and international entertainment scene - and more important, keep these two guys in line. Please give Roop,Wicks & Meg a listen. We know you’ll get your day off with a smile – and of course some of the Greatest Hits of All Time.
104.1 The DOCK is a Classic Hits based format. Classic Hits features popular hits, primarily from the classic rock genre, from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.
104.1 THE DOCK will take you to a place where everyone want’s to be - on a dock, relaxing, enjoying the lake and listening to great tunes. It’s where millions of people fight the traffic every summer just to enjoy a few hours on the weekend. Fortunately for us, we live here all year long.
Classic Hits is targeted to Baby Boomers and features the hits from their formative teen years. It is largely drawn from mainstream classic rock artists. It’s not too soft, but also not to hard. Think of a Classic Hits station as playing “Greatest Hits” albums from the best known artists of the era. In fact, 104.1 The Dock has repositioned itself as “Simcoe County’s Greatest Hits” to reflect this approach. If you haven’t listened in a while, give it a try. We’re confident you’ll love what you hear.
