All volunteers and members of the Radio Society are invited to join us for the annual AGM tonight at the University of Winnipeg. Membership collection and sign-in starts at 6pm in the Bulman Centre. Elections, reports and approving our audit are on the agenda.
Joke’s on You, our local stand-up comedy show, has expanded into an hour-long time slot with the last 15 minutes playing host to A Grind Declaration of Core, the quirky new bridge between comedy and heavy metal music.
Printed Circuit features the culture, creation and music of Chiptunes which is synthesized music created using the sound chips of video games.
Warning Shots has taken the place of Radio Free World but it still delivers international news with alternative flare.
Programming on Saturdays has changed the most starting with Family Matters, a syndicated spoken word program on parenting. Alternating with The Electric Chair every other Saturday, you can tune into Eclectica for a mix of folk, rock and indie music. The Trip will no doubt please the psych rock crowd as much as Like Fire in My Bones might satisfy that yen to hear something spiritual.
Finally, Canadian Dimension’s Alert! Radio is back on-air Sundays bringing you leading-edge information by way of interview, commentary and profiles.
For Culture Days on September 30th, we’re opening up our doors, our studios and passing the mic – to you!
Call or email CKUW to sign up for your DIY DJ spot. For more information check out our activity description on the Culture Days Website
CKUW is developing an exercise radio show to launch this fall.
Work It Out is a fast paced ten minute show, sharing healthy living tips and exercises you can do in the comfort of your home.
We’ve put some teaser photos up on our Flickr page Stay tuned for the big launch later this year.
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.
John Iverson is passionate about the classics. His passion is reflected in his shows. Keep up the great work, John.
