  • Cancon: Love/Hate?

    Posted by Rob on March 31st, 2011

    The CRTC is proposing a 5% increase in Cancon for community radio stations. What do you think? Does CKUW need more Cancon? More local music? We’re currently playing 35% Canadian Content between 6am and midnight and a good proportion of our chart is local. Is more better? We’d love to hear your thoughts, email us – [email protected] or comment directly to the CRTC.

  • Fundrive collections moved to CKUW

    Posted by Rob on March 11th, 2011

    Fundrive Matt is off on tour as his alter-ego ‘Boats’ so we’ve moved Fundrive collections out of the Info Booth and up to our offices. Come to room 4CM11 during office hours (10am – 6pm, Mon-Fri.) to fulfill your pledge. We’ve restocked the hoodies and we still have lots of shirts and Friends Cards available.

    CKUW counts on listener donations to keep the station on-air and growing. We’ve collected a lot of pledges so far, but we need everyone to be a hero and honour their pledge.

    If you can’t make it down to the U of w to honour your pledge, please call us at 786-9782 or email [email protected] to make alternate arrangements.

  • Bring in that pledge money!
