CKUW FUNdrive

Why FUNdraising?

To raise money, why else? CKUW is a non-profit, volunteer run organization. We are allowed by the CRTC to carry up to four minutes per hour of advertising on-air, but we’d rather be supported by our community and dedicated listeners. CKUW is ‘Listener Oriented – Listener Supported’ as opposed to commercial radio which is ‘Advertisier Oriented – Advertiser Supported’.

We believe our listeners would rather contribute to our continued operation, than have to listen to a full allotment of ads on the programs they enjoy. Anyone who cares to visit our offices and facilities will realize that we’re not spending the station’s budget on expensive knick-knacks.

If you have any questions about our funding drive, please call station manager Rob Schmidt (204) 786 9782 or send him an e-mail.
