Happy 15th Birthday CKUW FM!
April 30, 1999 CKUW launched as an FM broadcaster. We are very proud of our half century of history on-campus but the last fifteen years of radio have defined our station as a true community broadcaster.
Thank you to everyone who helped us make the leap to city-wide FM, all those who have listened and especially each individual who has contributed financial support to Fundrive.
Our present to you is an amazing new format of AD-FREE RADIO, rolling out formally over the next few weeks. We are also proud to re-release our CD compilations from 2004 & 2009 now digitally optimized and available on Bandcamp. Enjoy!
