Moe’s show One Mans Jazz has been part of our schedule since our launch in 1999. In his more than 630 shows, Moe has covered a truly incredible range of jazz with a depth of knowledge and passion that really can’t be heard anywhere else. We are going to miss him!

Make sure you catch the final episode airing Saturday December 31st starting at 1pm.

Moe will continue blogging at onemansjazz.ca and plans to return to radio on the Internet in the near future.

New To You, Mondays from 3-4pm, is where you’ll hear Christian-oriented rock, pop and new wave.

Tuesday/Wednesday overnight from midnight -2am, The Lyrical Lounge, is a hip-hop program that features a good dose of Canadian talent.

On Thursday mornings from 10-11am you can tune into Highbrow Low Blows for an examination of cultural trends. Stay tuned in for current affairs and music delivered with a touch of humour and irreverence on Hot Flashes from 11am-noon. Between 1-2pm Thursdays, Radio Ecoshock will help build your awareness to environmental issues.

Finally, The Crystal Palace will grace Saturday/Sunday overnight with good ol’ rock ‘n’ roll featuring plenty of local talent.

Reclaim Your Radio will air live from 11-7pm on CKUW. Tune in, turn on, and stand up for community radio!

What are we reclaiming?

The airwaves are public. But because of limited spectrum, sometimes communities that want to start their own local non-profit stations find there’s no room for their voices. Over the coming year we will be asking the government and individual MPS to help reserve at least one frequency for campus and community radio stations in every community across Canada.
