This past Friday, September 25th as part of the city-wide Culture Days celebration CKUW preempted regular programming and invited listeners to host half hour DJ sets between 5-9pm. With a little technical assistance from the staff, these DIY DJs shared some of their favourite selections with listeners.

I just want to say i enjoy much of the music and shows on CKUW. I am so glad to have a station that does so many types of shows. And for mainstream music stations, they play the same music over and over. Keep up the great work.
