Launched on Feb 24, 2011, Sunshine 89.1 is an Adult-Contemporary radio owned by Bayshore Broadcasting. We Play More! Is the tagline used the Sunshine 89 FM. CISO-FM was launched after the CRTC permitted Bayshore Broadcasting Corporation to set up a commercial FM in Orillia. With an ERP of 2,100 watts it would air on a frequency of 89.1 MHz featuring soft adult contemporary music targeting audiences between 35 and 64 years. Over 20 hours of spoken world were included in a total of 126 hours of local programs per week. 20 minutes were dedicated to news weekly and 85 hours were for live-to-air content.
