We’ve added these new shows to our schedule! Show your support by pledging to their program during Fundrive – February 6-13.
Friday February 6th at 3pm is the kick off of our annual Fundrive campaign. Fundrive is the time of year where we ask listeners to directly support the operation of CKUW with pledges and donations. CKUW doesn’t receive any money from advertisers, the university or government and we need listener donations to keep us on the air.
Our goal is $60,000. You can donate today online at fundrive.ckuw.ca or call in to 204-774-6877 during the Fundrive week to support your favourite shows.
Follow us on Twitter or Facebook for Fundrive updates and tune in for our most amazing week of community radio!
This week CKUW returned to regular broadcasting on campus in the Lockhart Hall Hive. U of W alumni will remember the hive as the ‘fishbowl’ smoking lounge on the first floor of Lockhart Hall, CKUW’s main broadcast area from 1968-98. Closed for several years, the UWSA undertook renovations and re-opened the room this fall.
Although our studios have never left U of W it’s been nearly 17 years since we shut off our closed circuit speakers and leapt to the FM dial. Thank you to the UWSA and Ted Turner who ensured that CKUW would return to our ancestral home on campus.
Thanks to your support at last years Fundrive, CKUW has been completely Ad-Free for the last 6 months!
We hope you have been enjoying the new sound of our station uninterrupted by commercial announcements. We still air public service messages and event announcements but we no longer accept money to promote services or events! Everything you hear on CKUW is the product of our volunteers interests and enthusiasm to share.
If you want to promote your community event or service as a PSA, please send the details to [email protected] and we’ll get your information in our events guide.
The member-volunteers of CKUW gathered on Tuesday December 9th for our Annual General Meeting. We had a solid quorum of members which allowed us to pass our revised by-laws and complete elections to the board.
