  • Stylus Magazine is 25!

    Posted by Rob on October 1st, 2014

    In 1989, University of Winnipeg Students created Stylus Magazine as a written companion to CKUW and program guide for the station.

    In 25 years Stylus has profiled and reviewed hundreds of artist and albums both local and international. The magazine continues to help develop new writers and foster independent culture in Winnipeg.

    Join us Friday Oct 10, 2014 @ the Windsor Hotel for a night of music, fun, and memories. We’ll have copies of the magazine from across our 25 years on hand, door prize & raffle featuring local CDs, records and other fun stuff.
