  • Fundrive 2014 begins Friday February 7th.

    Posted by Rob on January 24th, 2014

    Join us February 7th – 14th for CKUW’s annual listener driven radio campaign – Fundrive!

    Our goal this year is $60,000 in community pledges and we are making a very special promise to you: If we reach our goal, CKUW will no longer air paid advertising.

    Your support will free us from commercial obligations, opening up even more opportunity for creative and exciting radio. Please think about what an independent station like CKUW means to you and help us reach our goal.

    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.
