Today, we celebrate a new chapter in the story of JOY Radio, with a refreshed schedule and expanded digital access, making it easier than ever for listeners across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area to tune in to Christian radio in the GTA.

You’ll notice a more consistent blend of popular Christian music, faith-based conversation, and moments of reflection, designed to be with you wherever you are in your day or on your spiritual journey. Based on your feedback, we’re expanding your time with music, starting with the newly named Mornings with James Kurtis, now airing from 6–9am, Good Company with Hollie Taylor will begin earlier at 4pm, giving you more than two hours of today’s best uplifting Christian music to start and end your day with encouragement and hope.

As part of our continued growth, JOY Radio is now available on 102.9 FM-HD3, alongside streaming at joyradio.ca and on popular platforms like iHeartRadio, TuneIn, and MyJoyRadio. This expansion reflects a shift toward a digital-first listening experience, meeting you wherever you are, physically or spiritually.

This move comes at a time of strong digital growth, with streaming hours increasing by nearly 20% in the last quarter. As JOY Radio enters its 30th year, we remain committed to serving faith-driven communities with trusted, uplifting content rooted in Christian values.

Whether at home, in the car, or on the go, you can now access JOY Radio anytime, continuing our mission to share hope, encouragement, and connection through music and ministry.
