    Tune in next Friday at noon for the kick off of Winnipegs’ most exciting week of radio. CKUW volunteers will be going all out showcasing our unique little station and asking for your support. Donors will receive recognition and fabulous one of a kind prizes.

    Our goal is $50,000 to support Listener Driven Radio!

    A special incentive this year is the ‘CKUW Uncovered’ covers compilation CD. We’ve compiled 10 Winnipeg bands covering an inspirational local artist. Songs are included from Propagandhi, Grand Analog, Novillero and more.

This will be Ridley’s first visit since becoming an official Winnipegger, and we’ll be grilling him on all things ‘Pegcentric to see if he truly deserves the title. Ridley will be joined in his live performance by local guitar slinger extraordinaire, Chris Dunn.
