fun that has defined Z103.5’s unique place in the Toronto radio market.

that our loyal audience loves while bringing fresh energy and new twists to the mix. With dance music, prizes, and a bunch of fun — The Z Morning Zoo will add more spark to weekday mornings. Who needs coffee!” said Ronnie Stanton.

Co-host Melanie Martin added: “Z103.5 listeners are like family to me, and I can’t wait to start the day with them in a bigger, bolder way. The Z Morning Zoo with Mel and Ronnie will be all about great music, real laughs, and making sure you start your morning feeling energized, connected, and in on the fun.”

Bringing together Ronnie’s creative vision and Melanie’s deep connection with our audience gives us a morning show that feels fresh, contemporary, and distinctly

Z103.5. We’re thrilled to offer our listeners a wake-up show that truly reflects the evolution of the station and the dynamic spirit of the GTA.”
