Sock Hop Radio — a jiving couple dancing on top of a vintage tube radio

2:00 a.m. · Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

After midnight,
the radio stays on.

Twisting Through the Classics

The house is asleep. The dial lamp isn't.

Doo-wop and original rock & roll, pulled by hand from one man's record collection, playing to the prairies twenty-four hours a day.

On Air · 24 Hours

New songs, jingles, and bits drop in daily. If it sounds good, it goes on the air.

That's the real stream and the real play button - press it and you're listening live. No tricks between you and the music.

Stop 60 · The Music

The heart of it is 1955 to 1965.

Fifties, sixties, seventies - but the middle of the dial is original rock & roll and doo-wop, mid-fifties through mid-sixties. Every record is pulled by hand from Vic's own collection.

“If it sounds good, it goes on the air.”

That's the whole programming policy.

Stop 70 · The Host

Vic Dubois. Fifty years behind a microphone.

Started as a DJ in British Columbia, then Alberta, then Saskatoon. The last twenty-four years he spent as General Manager at Saskatoon Media Group - two FMs and an AM.

Now it's just him, the records, and you.

Stop 90 · The Story

The Sunday Sockhop signed off. This is what came next.

For twenty-four years Vic hosted The Sunday Sockhop on 98Cool-FM - four hours of the music he grew up with. It ended December 31, 2025, and listeners kept asking the same thing: where do we go for this now?

Sock Hop Radio is his answer.

A song you haven't heard since the gymnasium had streamers in it. A dedication. A hello from wherever it's 2 a.m.
