Alan left CFNY in March of 2001 to become the Program Director of Y95 in Hamilton.
From Alan, May 2002:
"I was moved into management in January 2001 when I was given the reigns of Y95 (now Y108), a former WIC radio station that was purchased by Corus, the parent company of CFNY. I still do "The Ongoing History of New Music" and the occasional "World Album Premiere" special for the station. The OH is heard on a whack of stations (Corus and non-Corus) from Ottawa to Victoria."
As of February 2004, Alan Cross will be replacing Dave Farrough as Program Director at Edge 102. Dave will be moving to be PD at Q107.
Now also hosts "
ExploreMusic with Alan Cross
" on AUX TV.
July 2011: Alan has been let go by Corus, and is now producing a show called The Secret History of Rock with Alan Cross for Astral's Orbyt Media division, which will air it across Canada (including on Boom 97.3 in Toronto). This is the end of The Ongoing History of New Music show, because Corus owns this show.
May 2013: Alan has joined
Indie 88
as music advisor and on-air personality (not to mention the on-air "voice" of the station).
Fall 2014: Alan has left Indie 88 and rejoined Edge 102, and is now continuing his Ongoing History of New Music show, as well as a new weekday programming feature called Adventures in Vinyl.
