Recently, Toronto's classic rock station Q107 decided to do a shift in the music they play. Added to their classic rock playlist were the hits of the 90s like Nirvana, Soundgarden and Temple of the Dog. Most surprisingly, 'classic rock sounding' hits of the 2010s also made it into the playlist, like Black Keys and The Sheepdogs. What does this mean for rock radio in Toronto, where several stations are already playing modern rock music, and now more and more stations are playing similar songs. And...what's going on with rock radio in general? Radio Dale is the podcast about music, musicians and the Canadian music industry from our unique perspective at the Dale Speaking offices.

It used to be that switching to Q meant switching back in time, and you wouldn't hear the hits of the 90s, 2000s and 2010s. Recently, everything changed. You 'might' hear Black Keys on all six of these stations now. What does that mean for rock radio in Toronto?
