  • Fundrive 2014 day 2

    Posted by Rob on February 8th, 2014

    We are off to a great start for Fundrive 2014 with more than $7,000 pledged so far.

    Our annual listener driven radio campaign continues until Friday February 14th so there’s still a lot of amazing radio to come. Our goal is $60,000 in listener donations, if you help us reach our goal we will cease airing paid advertising. It’s a radical proposal that we hope you’ll support.

    Call now 204-774-6877 or pledge online at fundrive.ckuw.ca

  • Fundrive 2014 Live 24/7 until February 14th

    Our goal is $60,000 in listener support during our week long Fundrive! You can donate online at fundrive.ckuw.ca or call our phone operators at 204-774-6877.

    This year, if we reach our goal we will eliminate paid commercials from CKUW. We hope that every listener will support our dream of a stronger, independent voice in downtown Winnipeg. Our volunteers have planned special programming, so tune in to expect one-of-a-kind live performances and amazing radio moments.

    Donations can also be made in person at the U of W bookstore in the AnX building (formerly the downtown bus station). Once again, donors can claim a Fundrive thank-you gift or tax receipt from the University of Winnipeg Foundation and there are lots of opportunities to earn prizes or exclusive 2014 CKUW gear.

    Tune in, pledge and help us reach our goal this week!

  • Fundrive 2014 begins Friday February 7th.

    CKUW’s office will be closed from December 21st to January 1, 2014. The University is also closed during this time with some exceptions: Uwinnipeg Holiday Hours

    2013 was a fantastic year for CKUW as we celebrated our 50th anniversary and hosted the National Campus/Community Radio Conference. Thank you to all our listeners and supporters for making CKUW thrive, your thirst for radio and financial support continues to inspire our programming and community work.

    We wish you the very best at this time of year and we promise that CKUW will bring many more exciting things to you in 2014.
