Leading Marketing and Advertising professionals say that radio works on a subconscious or unconscious level. People remember the ad, but not always that they heard it on the radio.

Regardless, radio should not be ignored because it does work.
Advertising Experts will tell you radio is often the very best medium to reach a local market!

Bayshore Broadcasting is all of the above, and more.
We are uniquely positioned to connect existing and potential customers
with your business on a very Local or Regional basis.

Part of the community since 1940, Bayshore Broadcasting has grown to serve the needs of the residents and businesses of the city of Owen Sound and surrounding area with three radio stations - 560 CFOS, Mix 106.5, and Country 93.
