Fresh Picks

Fresh Picks is a Country 93 radio feature produced in Owen Sound for new and emerging Ontario country artists, with current 2026 profiles and a direct no-fee form for one original clean MP3 or WAV track.

Fresh Picks is a recurring Country 93 radio feature for new and emerging Ontario country artists, produced from the station’s Owen Sound studios. Country 93 identifies itself as CKYC-FM 93.7 and part of the Bayshore Broadcasting family, serving listeners in Grey, Bruce and Simcoe counties and beyond. The current first-party Fresh Picks page lists artist features through July 6, 2026, following features dated June 15 and May 25. Each selected feature introduces an artist and song; the program page says a chosen artist’s track is played twice daily for three weeks. It also says the feature airs on Country 93 in Owen Sound, Country 102 in Muskoka, Country 104.9 in Goderich and Country 105 in Shelburne. The official form is a direct, no-fee route restricted to artists who are originally from or currently based in Ontario. It accepts one original clean radio-friendly MP3 or WAV track, artist and song identity, location, applicable Canadian-content criteria, a short optional message, and a required biography or information sheet. Covers and tracks with swearing are ineligible. Country 93 reserves discretion to play submitted music in whole or in part, frequently or not at all, and says it cannot reply to every submission. Selection, rotation and the stated three-week feature are therefore not guaranteed. MusicList publishes only the first-party form. The page’s named music-director route for artists outside Ontario, the current feature author and email address, all other staff and contact details, every private form value, and uploaded audio and biography files remain excluded.
