  • Archives Partially Restored

    Posted by Rob on March 13th, 2024

    CKUW’s archives and podcast system are back online. Programs since March 7th should be available now and older programs will be eventually restored. Thank you for your patience in this, we know our system is relied on by many listeners.

    Note that the Google Podcasts service will soon be shut down. We don’t have a recommended replacement right now, but through manual subscription using the RSS link CKUW’s podcasts can be received by any podcast software including Apple Podcasts. Let us know if you need any assistance with listening online or off to CKUW.

    CKUW’s program schedule keeps on evolving. Here are some schedule changes and new shows to keep track of.

    The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit slips back into the schedule Tuesdays 1 to 3pm.

    Dead Medium, Thursdays 12 to 1pm, is on an indefinite hiatus but we decided to take a gander on some friends from Newfoundland, Yes B’y!

  • Archive & Podcasts Update

    Posted by Rob on February 29th, 2024

    Our archives and podcasts have been unavailable since February 8th when we had to take the system offline for security updates and preservation. Our technician is working on the problem and we hope to have the service restored soon. Thanks for your patience, archives are an important service for us and it’s a high priority for upgrade and improved reliaility.
