- Our Story
Built in the North.
For the North.
True North Radio was born from a simple belief: Northern Ontario deserves a country station that actually lives here. Not a satellite feed. Not a syndicated playlist piped in from a tower five provinces away — real voices, real neighbours, real music curated for the people who call this place home.
From a small studio in Sault Ste. Marie, we’ve grown into the region’s most trusted country music destination. Along the way we’ve stayed independent, family-run, and stubbornly committed to the towns, highways and lakeshores that make Northern Ontario what it is.
Every song, every weather update, every road report, every local story — it all starts with the same question: what does our community need to hear today?
- What Drives Us
Mission. Vision. Values.
The three pillars that shape every broadcast, every playlist, every partnership.
