CKUW and the UWSA are proud to present the 5th Annual Student Radio Marathon on Thursday, November 10. This is a day reserved exclusively for students to access the airwaves.
The Student Radio Marathon provides a platform for students to share information/music with our listening audience; empowers students to make their own media and contribute their voice to the public discourse; helps develop literacy, research and presentation skills; is lots of fun!

We welcome Victoria King as CKUW’s new Program Director. While you may have seen or heard Victoria around CKUW you may not know about all her radio accomplishments.
Victoria joined CKUW in 2010, she has hosted music and spoken word programming as well as completing extensive work on production and documentary projects. As Volunteer Coordinator she has trained dozens of volunteers and reached out to the community on and off campus. Victoria is involved at the national level with the Equity Committee of the NCRA. Her undergraduate project ‘Is This Thing On? An Ethnography of Campus and Community Radio’ will appear in the inaugural edition of ‘Crossings’, the journal for undergraduate research at the University of Winnipeg, expected in late fall of 2016.
“I want you to know that I’m so excited to start working as CKUW Program Director; more than anything, I’m really looking forward to working with all of you to keep building this radio community that we all care about so much.”
I’m finding new shows a little at a time. Keep up the good radio!
