  • We Need YOU To Reach Our $60K Goal!

    Posted by Robin on February 11th, 2015

    $60K. That’s our Fundrive goal for this year. It represents 25% of our annual budget and is the bare minimum we need pledged and paid to maintain our current level of radio service to you listeners. Like any small business, we have fixed costs and those never go down.

    Community support has been the foundation of our success from the very beginning. Call 204-774-6877 now and keep the tradition of listener supported, independent radio growing in Winnipeg. For a full list of incentives and to pledge on line visit fundrive.ckuw.ca.

    Thank you to everyone who has pledged support to CKUW’s Fundrive so far. We’ve had $34K come in since the campaign started last Friday. Fundrive ends at 6pm Friday, February 13. Don’t delay. Pledge NOW!
