Classic Hits 109 - Yacht Rock / Mellow Gold is a Canadian digital radio station that broadcasts a curated selection of soft rock and smooth pop from the mid-1970s through the mid-1980s. The format is dedicated to the Yacht Rock genre, which is defined by high production standards, melodic complexity, and a fusion of jazz, R&B, and rock elements. The playlist focuses on tracks characterized by polished studio sessions, smooth vocal harmonies, and the prominent use of electric pianos and clean guitar leads.

The station’s programming also includes Mellow Gold, a broader category of adult contemporary and easy-listening hits from the same era. This combination ensures a consistent, relaxed auditory experience, prioritizing low-intensity compositions over heavier rock or high-tempo pop. Originating from Toronto, the station operates as a continuous stream of vintage FM-style programming, emphasizing the West Coast sound and the sophisticated pop-rock craftsmanship that dominated the airwaves during the late 20th century.
