He subsequently returned to CFNY as program director in mid-January 2004,[8] remaining in that role until moving to Corus Entertainment's interactive media division, Splice Media (now called Corus Interactive and Integrated Solutions), in 2008 to launch the ExploreMusic project — although CFNY still aired The Ongoing History of New Music until 2011.

[9] Cross left Corus Entertainment in early July 2011, after the company restructured their online content department.

[6] Cross' departure effectively brought an end to The Ongoing History of New Music, because Corus Entertainment owned the show.

[13] In the fall of that year, he returned to CFNY and relaunched The Ongoing History of New Music,[1] as well as a new weekday programming feature called Adventures in Vinyl.

[14] Cross is married to Mary Ellen Beninger, a journalist who has been associated with the Toronto radio stations CFNY, CFTR and CHFI.
