In January 2021, Stingray networked its rock stations in Atlantic Canada out of [[CFRQ-FM]]/Halifax, with all of them adopting similar ''Q'' branding and airing CFRQ's morning show, in addition to the existing networked evening show ''Rock of the Atlantic''.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Thiessen|first=Connie|date=2021-01-15|title=Stingray Radio launches 'Q Network' across the Maritimes|url=https://broadcastdialogue.com/stingray-radio-launches-q-network-across-the-maritimes/|access-date=2021-09-25|website=Broadcast Dialogue|language=en-US}}</ref> In late-March 2021, the company underwent a restructuring of some of its staff and local program directors, which resulted in layoffs.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Thiessen|first=Connie|date=2021-03-30|title=Stingray Radio restructures on-air talent, management in Alberta & BC|url=https://broadcastdialogue.com/stingray-radio-restructures-on-air-talent-management-in-alberta-bc/|access-date=2021-04-05|website=Broadcast Dialogue|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Thiessen|first=Connie|date=2021-03-26|title=Stingray makes layoffs on East Coast|url=https://broadcastdialogue.com/stingray-makes-layoffs-on-east-coast/|access-date=2021-04-05|website=Broadcast Dialogue|language=en-US}}</ref> On April 5, 2021, Stingray launched networked programming for its ''The Breeze''-branded [[soft adult contemporary]] stations and its classic rock stations in western Canada. ''The Breeze'' introduced ''The Morning Breeze with Brad & Deb,'' which is networked out of [[CKUL-FM]]/Halifax and incorporates local inserts. Stingray also introduced the networked evening program ''Rock of the West'' (modelled after ''Rock of the Atlantic''), which is hosted by Travis Currah of [[CIZZ-FM]]/Red Deer.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Thiessen|first=Connie|date=2021-04-01|title=Stingray announces syndicated The Breeze morning show following restructuring|url=https://broadcastdialogue.com/stingray-announces-syndicated-the-breeze-morning-show-following-restructuring/|access-date=2021-04-05|website=Broadcast Dialogue|language=en-US}}</ref>
