The RIDE uniquely blends rock from its roots to present. The sound you hear on The RIDE is a Free Form Rock experience encompassing music from several popular FM radio formats including Album-Orientated Rock (AOR), Classic Rock (rock music releases from the 60s, 70s and 80s), Rock (singles and album cuts from current rock music releases), Blues, Jazz and some Reggae.

The RIDE doesn’t play songs, we play music weaved with tapestry and tone. The sound is artfully blended with mixes and segues that seamlessly ties the music together. Deep cuts, no repeats, limited talk, minimum commercial interruptions and higher consciousness lyrics contribute to the programming concept.

Album-Oriented Rock radio began with programming concepts rooted in 1960s idealism. AOR is a ground breaking radio format that is a revival of the art of radio for those who like to hear more than the same 50 tunes. AOR was so named to distinguish itself from Top 40 radio stations which primarily play singles.

KRYD-FM is programmed locally by long time friend David Marsden inductee to Canadian Music and Broadcast Industry Hall of Fame and Cleveland, Ohio’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The Ride play list consists of thousands of the best hand selected Rock songs gathered from our historical roots in Rock radio since 1967; creating a new wave in radio programming not found in commercial radio today.

Enjoy The Ride!
