  • New Shows On-Air

    Posted by Robin on August 18th, 2011

    I have a couple of new shows to bring your attention to:

    Family Matters airs Saturday mornings from 8-9 and features discussion on supportive parenting practices, communication, and culture in the context of conventional and unconventional families.

    The Trip broadcasts Saturday afternoons from 4-6, and your host, Dave Ferguson, will re-introduce you to forgotten classic rock/psychedelic tracks as well as a healthy dose of jam/stoner and new psych rock.

    There are also a couple shows that have been approved to go air but as yet unnamed. One airs Wednesdays from 10pm-midnight and explores the musical world of Chiptunes. Another one airs Saturdays from 6-8pm and features music with a message of faith.

    Remember our schedule is always changing and that you can listen to all your favourite shows on-line or get them as a podcast.

  • Prisoner Justice on Black Mask

    Posted by Robin on August 10th, 2011

    Black Mask – Prisoners’ Justice Day

    Every August 10th, inmates and their allies recognize Prisoners’ Justice Day, a day of commemoration, mourning and awareness-raising. Throughout Canada, prisoners mark this day by fasting and/or refusing to work in honour of the memory of those who have been killed while incarcerated.

    Black Mask will mark PJD by broadcasting an interview with the Executive Director of the Elizabeth Fry Society of Manitoba, Tracy Booth. We will also be reading a poem that was written by an inmate that gives a first-hand account of what life is like on the inside.

    Additionally, we will also be interviewing Tyler Shiply, who is the front man for the formerly Winnipeg-based Consumer Goods and playing a track from their
    yet-to-be released EP, ‘But We Don’t Shoot Pistols?’

    Tune in every Wednesday at 5 pm EST or visit the archives to download past episodes. To the barricades!

  • Radio Camp on now

    CKUW’s 5th annual Radio Camp is on now until August 5th.

    Campers will be on-air every morning around 11am reporting the weather other camp activities. Tune in to hear future radio stars live!
