We play everything

Local radio for Simcoe County
Between songs, the station's hosts talk about life in Barrie and the surrounding area: local news, weather — including the lake-effect snow that blankets the region in winter — traffic on Highway 400 and events from Kempenfest to concerts and community fundraisers. In summer, Big 101.1 is part of many weekends on Lake Simcoe and Georgian Bay.
