Moose, eh?/ My World


Radio for Ontario's "Cottage Country"

Haliburton 93.5 is one of thirteen  Ontario English-language radio stations branded with the name Moose FM. Generally, these local stations play "adult contemporary music."  Hmmmm. I'm not sure what that means and  I cannot  get any of the thirteen stations on my home radio to check them out. I live just a tad too far south.

I took the photo because I like the name Moose FM. It seems soooo appropriate for local stations in northern and north-central Ontario.

Note: to answer Kathy's question below: Yes, Canadian stations have call letters that begin with C. Moose FM in Halliburton is CZFN 93.5.



Visit My World Tuesday  HERE to see tons of photos from around the world.

  1. Adult contemporary music? Maybe it's a new genre that's coming on the scene! Do Canadian radio stations have call letters? I don't think I've ever seen a sign or an ad for a radio station in the US that didn't show call letters. "Moose" is definitely more interesting than KQUT!

  2. Cool moose.
    We have 'the WOLF' out here 107.1 or something like that. MB

  3. Funny! We have Jack FM here. But I think it's "classic" rock. I usually only listen to the NPR station anyway. I can't stand hearing the same songs all the time.

  9. I guess you have a lot of mooses up in them thar parts! The term, "Adult Contemporary" was devised by a schizophrenic still bombed from the 1960s. He also thought "moose" was the plural of "mice."

  10. Re your question about Ocala's streets: Well, not every street is given a horse-related name. Some streets are named for local horses asses! ;-)

  18. I like the name Moose FM and if I had to guess without knowing where there was a Moose station, I'd guess in Canada. Cheers, Carver

  21. Oh well, I guess we aren't supposed to understand everything about the world around us! I really like the perspective and composition of this photo, though. Enjoy the music!
