Schedule

From November 1st, Magic will be joining the Breeze family, and we’ll have a new name: Breeze Classic.

Breeze Classic will celebrate the era-defining songs from the artists who shaped our lives — Queen, Fleetwood Mac, ABBA, Elton John, The Beatles, and many more.

You’ll still hear familiar voices like Mark McCarron, Trudi Nelson, Murray Lindsay, John Markby, and once she’s back to full health, Mel Homer will be with us too.

And for those of you who’ve told us you love the 50s, 60s and 70s, but prefer to skip the 80s, good news!

You’ll still be able to listen to Magic, streaming online at Rova and on the rova app, hosted by the one and only Bob Gentil.

We’re really excited about this next chapter, and we think you’re going to love the new name, the fresh sound, and of course, the music that continues to make you feel good every morning.
