Fitzroy Gordon Biography

Fitzroy Gordon is one of the most popular and richest Radio Host who was born on March 19, 1954 in Saint Andrew Parish, Jamaica.

Fitzroy Anthony Gordon (March 19, 1954 – April 30, 2019) was a Jamaican- Canadian broadcaster, radio host and DJ, based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He was most notable as the founder of G98.7, Canada’s second radio station geared specifically to Black and Caribbean audiences. As a broadcaster, he was dedicated to community service, notably through his shows Dr. Love on CHIN Radio and Grapevine on G98.7.

G98.7 was a project realized through over a decade of work. Gordon was strongly motivated by a desire to see a platform for Black and Caribbean voices in Toronto. His first application for a broadcast licence from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) was turned down in 2001. In 2009 he was given a partial license, which did not include broadcast frequency. Finally securing a frequency at 98.7FM, Gordon needed the approval of the national Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) to broadcast so close to CBC Toronto’s 99.1 FM band. The CBC initially refused, and Gordon spent all of his personal savings fighting them. The licence was also challenged by commercial radio station FLOW 93.5FM, claiming that the station would duplicate its format. This was despite community input that FLOW did not represent them or their interests. After a CRTC ruling in favour of the station in 2011, the station was officially licensed in June of that year. It launched that November with Jimmy Cliff’s cover of “I Can See Clearly Now.” The station’s listenership quickly expanded to reach a diverse audience throughout the city inclusive of many communities.
