  • On Monday, September 17, 2024, The New Classical 96.3 FM, English Canada’s only commercial all-classical radio station, and The New AM 740 – Zoomer Radio, will officially relaunch their new websites with improved speed, content and design – including an emphasis on ease-of-use – to better engage their increasingly digital savvy audiences.

    Zoomers are flocking to social media, mobile and media-rich websites but most online destinations are designed by, and for, a younger demographic despite the fact 45plus year old users are the fastest growing audience online.

    The new sites, produced in-house by ZoomerMedia’s Interactive Division, are tailored for mature audiences, offering more intuitive and faster web pages, CD-quality audio streams, full concert videos, podcasts, and an updated, state-of-the-art iPhone/iPod app for listeners on the go.

     To support the relaunch and the “listen anywhere” message, the stations are hosting an online contest from September 17 – October 14 whereby listeners can win a trip for four to Deerhurst Resort in breathtaking Muskoka by visiting the new websites.

    Like the website, the iPhone App also allows mobile users to find the name of the song they’ve just heard and purchase a copy that is downloaded directly into their iPhone or iPod. For sophisticated audiophiles, the App uses Apple’s AirPlay to stream the broadcasts directly to their stereo systems for the best sound possible, regardless of where they are located in the world.
