    Posted by Robin on November 22nd, 2011

    CKUW 95.9 FM announces some exciting new additions to our broadcast schedule effective immediately. Here’s what’s new.

    New To You, Mondays from 3-4pm, is where you’ll hear Christian-oriented rock, pop and new wave.

    Tuesday/Wednesday overnight from midnight -2am, The Lyrical Lounge, is a hip-hop program that features a good dose of Canadian talent.

    On Thursday mornings from 10-11am you can tune into Highbrow Low Blows for an examination of cultural trends. Stay tuned in for current affairs and music delivered with a touch of humour and irreverence on Hot Flashes from 11am-noon. Between 1-2pm Thursdays, Radio Ecoshock will help build your awareness to environmental issues.

    Finally, The Crystal Palace will grace Saturday/Sunday overnight with good ol’ rock ‘n’ roll featuring plenty of local talent.

  • Nov 14. Reclaim Your Radio!

    Posted by Rob on November 2nd, 2011

    CKUW will be joining with the NCRA on November 14th for a special Canada-wide broadcast.

    Reclaim Your Radio will air live from 11-7pm on CKUW. Tune in, turn on, and stand up for community radio!

    What are we reclaiming?

    The airwaves are public. But because of limited spectrum, sometimes communities that want to start their own local non-profit stations find there’s no room for their voices. Over the coming year we will be asking the government and individual MPS to help reserve at least one frequency for campus and community radio stations in every community across Canada.

  • Exciting & New

    Posted by Robin on September 26th, 2011

    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.
