CKUW will be out in the community this holiday weekend. Say hi to us at the Osborne St festival outside of Into The Music or wave as we march past in the Art City Parade! Our volunteers will be working hard to bring you live community radio throughout the weekend but the University & our office will be closed Sunday and Monday.
It’s been busy at the station, as our program schedule can attest! Here’s the latest programming updates to keep you in the loop:
New to the Airwaves:
Barking Dog with your host Juliana brings you two hours of contemporary and traditional folk music every Thursday from 2-4 PM.
