The 70s, 80s and 90s

boom plays the pop and rock hits that defined three decades: disco and soft rock from the 70s, new wave and pop from the 80s, and the dance, pop and rock of the 90s. From ABBA and Fleetwood Mac to Madonna, Michael Jackson, Duran Duran and the Backstreet Boys, the playlist is full of songs that most listeners can sing along to. Canadian artists such as Bryan Adams, Corey Hart and Alanis Morissette have their place too.

Toronto's boom

The station has its own Toronto hosts, with a morning show built around music, nostalgia and conversation, and daytime programmes that keep the hits coming. boom often plays themed weekends and countdowns, and it runs contests and events for its listeners.
