  • Mail from afar

    Posted by Rob on October 22nd, 2009

    CKUW receives interesting mail almost every day, but this is definitely the first time we’ve received mail from an AIRCRAFT CARRIER!!

    Joshua has sent us some music, and you can too!

    We can accept submissions on cassette, CD, vinyl, or reel to reel. CKUW volunteers are required to play 30% new music and while we can’t guarantee that it’ll be heard, everything we receive is open for on-air play.
