We load about 100 songs into AM740’s All Night Jukebox — we press Play — and take care of the coins too! So all you do is stay tuned in and enjoy, while you’re working late, reading or counting sheep.

Like a weekend complement to Brian Peroff’s show Friday Night Bandstand, Bill Gable celebrates the best rock’n soul from the 50s and 60s every Saturday evening with The Heart and Soul of Rock’n'Roll. Unlike other oldies shows, this one features Chuck, Buddy, Fats and Elvis, alongside Brother Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, and all the Motown legends too — from the Beatles and Beach Boys to the Tops, Temptations and Supremes.

The British Invasion will proudly feature the terrific acts that came out of England with Cliff Richard in the late 50s, through the glory days of Merseybeat and Beatlemania, with countless groups and singers from The Pacemakers, Animals, Searchers and Herman’s Hermits, to the Stones, Kinks, Small Faces, DC5, and Moody Blues – and of course, Dusty Springfield, Tom Jones, Donovan, Pet Clark, Manfred Mann, Peter & Gordon..and so many others.

AM 740’s theatre expert, Michael Englebert, hosts Applause every Saturday afternoon — now in an expanded two hour version — with music from Broadway, Hollywood and the London stage.

What could be better than Frank with Frank — our own Frank Proctor and the best songs from one of the greatest singers of all time, Frank Sinatra…from his early days as a bobby-soxxer idol, to his thrilling comeback as the 1950s swinger and 1960s Chairman of the Board.

What a treat for Zoomers in the GTA — a live radio show that celebrates life in the city, with all sorts of information about events and activities; plus a listener request show at noon and the best of the best music — all hosted by Frank Proctor.
