Rock Air 101 was established in 2023 by the Ebenezer Holiness Church of God, led by Bishop Dr. Glenford Duffus and Pastor Junior W. Smith. Pastor Junior, a recording artist, television personality, and broadcaster, had a vision to create a radio station that would specifically cater to the underserved community, empower its listeners, and provide a platform for young voices to be heard.
Pastor Junior Smith began his career in Jamaica in 1999 and brought his talents to Canada in 2011. During his time in Canada, he hosted popular Christian radio programs such as "Reflections" and "Island Style" for a span of seven years. Since his departure from the airwaves, there has been a void for the unique ministry he offers. Therefore, Junior took the initiative to establish Rock Air 101, reconnecting with his loyal listeners and continuing to deliver his impactful message.
Rock Air 101 serves as an extension of the Ebenezer Holiness Church's ministry, utilizing digital technology to reach beyond the physical walls of the church. The radio station acts as a medium for community outreach and discipleship, embracing the power of digital platforms to connect with individuals in meaningful ways.
Mission Statement: Rock Air 101 is a Christian radio station that aims to reach the underserved community, empower listeners, and provide a platform for young people to make their voices heard.
Vision Statement: Rock Air 101 will be the leading Christian radio station in Toronto, reaching a wide audience with its unique programming and its commitment to social justice.
