Say It, Sista! has been a staple on CKUW for feminist news and views, and as of July 1, the current hosts are moving on. Unless we find a few enthusiastic women to take on producing this program, we will lose the women-focused content this show brings to our airwaves.
This is where you come in. If you appreciate the value of women’s space on the radio, please consider getting involved. We offer radio training and mentorship free of charge to students and members of the community. For more information contact Robin by phone at 786-9782 or email [email protected]
As of May 1, I am excited to announce a couple of changes for the Sunday schedule.
These Changing Times aims to bring awareness to the incredible, sustained and transformative changes of our times using astrology, a metaphorical and intuitive language to take people to a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. It will air 1:30-2pm after Planetary Radio.
send + receive will start later but gain an extra half hour to broadcast from 2-4pm, and Destination Moon moves over to Monday nights (9:30-11pm) making for a solid evening of programming there.
Thanks to MTS and our friends at ParIT, we’ve recently improved online speed and reliability.
If you encounter any problems with our archives or online stream please let us know by emailing [email protected] Provide as much detail as you can and we’ll troubleshoot the problem. The U of W doesn’t offer us any technical assistance; It is donor support and talented local programmers that keep ckuw.ca up and online.
Your feedback helps us figure out what people use and how we can do it better!
I love listening to CKUW in my car and online! The diversity of shows with good music, politics, and community love is wonderful. Thank you.
