About NEWSTALK 1010
NEWSTALK 1010 is Toronto's news and talk station. It broadcasts on 1010 AM under the call sign CFRB, one of the most historic call signs in Canadian radio, and is owned by Bell Media. The station describes itself as Toronto's news, traffic and weather, and it is one of the most listened-to spoken-word stations in the country. On this page you can listen to NEWSTALK 1010 live online, free and without an app.
A historic station
CFRB went on the air in 1927. Its call letters are usually explained as standing for "Canada's First Rogers Batteryless", a reference to the batteryless radio receivers developed by Edward S. Rogers Sr., the inventor and founder of the station. Almost a century later, CFRB is still one of Toronto's best-known stations, though today it belongs to Bell Media rather than the Rogers family.
News, traffic and talk
NEWSTALK 1010 focuses on spoken programming. Mornings are built around news, traffic on the 401, the Gardiner and the DVP, and weather, with interviews with newsmakers. Through the day, talk shows discuss Toronto, Ontario and federal politics, the economy, real estate, health and everyday life, with listeners calling in to share their views. When big news breaks in the city, the station switches to continuous coverage.
Toronto's conversation
The station's hosts are well-known voices in the GTA, and many shows bring in experts, politicians and community leaders. Weekend programmes cover topics such as money, home and health.
