The sign up for our annual Culture Days celebration, DIY DJ, is now active!
On September 23, we’re inviting the listening public in for some one-time-only ‘DIY’ radio. Sign up with a friend, or on your own, and create a radio show with the technical assistance of our trained volunteers. Bring in your favourite music, recordings that are meaningful to you, and take over the airwaves!
Sign up HERE!
This summer, host Jonny B will be sitting down with local experts to talk about the work they’re doing to research, educate, and conserve habitat for local birds. Guests will include Kim Bisson & Rick Onskie of Nu-Sun Cinema, Jim Duncan of Discover Owls, Amanda Shave of Manitoba Chimney Swift Initiative, Manitoba EBird Moderator Robert Parsons, and Grad students Lakesha Smith & Hannah Toutonghi who are studying Purple Martins and Northern Hawk Owls, respectively.
The Series will air Thursdays 8am to 9am starting August 11th to September 8th
Radio Camp registration is underway. This camp is open to youth aged 10-13 with preference given to those in the neighbourhoods nearby CKUW & the University of Winnipeg. Camp is free for participants and supported by donation from the community.
If you want to support Radio Camp, please contact Ted our Director of Donor Relations. Individual or business support is greatly appreciated! [email protected]
After taking a pause for the last two years, CKUW Radio Camp is back!
Radio Camp is a free summer program where community youth participants learn radio skills, build self confidence and meet new friends. The day camp is open for youth aged 10-14 ( with some exceptions) and runs over the last two weeks in August, registration will open soon. Please note that we give priority registration to partnering community associations.
We are also now asking for much needed support from listeners to help us cover the cost in providing the program. Radio Camp is not a part of CKUW’s radio operating budget and is entirely dependent on external funding and donor support.
We are specifically asking for a gift of $200 to help subsidize the costs of one youth placement. Tax receipts would be issued for all donations and you would be thanked on-air for your support. You can make a donation online at ckuwradiocamp.ca/donate
If you would like more information about making a gift to CKUW Radio Camp, please contact Ted our Director of Donor Relations – [email protected] / 204-786-9779
We’re now using the open source Libretime software to schedule programs on CKUW. There’s bound to be a few hiccups as we tune the systems performance but we expect this change to offer more reliability and flexibility in programming for the long tern. Let us know if you’ve noticed the change and how you feel about it. Listener feedback is crucial to our operation and planning. Contact [email protected] with your thoughts, thanks!
Thank you to all the staff and volunteers at CKUW for providing commercial free radio which supports its community.
