  • Fundrive Mid Point

    Posted by Rob on February 18th, 2023

    CKUW is halfway through our fundraiser for this year, thank you to everyone who has donated so far. We are moving closer to our goal of $60,0000 with over $25,000 pledges as of Saturday morning. We are humbled by the response but we need to reach the full goal in the next seven days to meet our budget.

    Your gift of $120 covers our Internet expenses for about a month, a donation of $35 pays for one day of transmitter rent. Your contributions make a difference at CKUW. Listener support allows us to plan for the future, weather instability and provide the high level of service you expect.

    Your pledge today will support a community of more than 100 volunteers and their mission to share music and information with you. Donate securely online at fundrive.ckuw.ca If you have any questions about Fundrive 2023 please get in touch with our staff – 204-786-9782 / “[email protected]”“mailtoi“fundrive.ckuw.ca

This year we thank Mahri White for the amazing illustration that will appear on our T-shirts. Mahri White (she/her) is a multidisciplinary artist and arts administrator from Winnipeg, MB. Her current mediums of focus include textiles, drawing, and digital painting. Mahri holds a BFA Honours from the University of Manitoba.

  • Special Programming- What Should We Expect from an NDP Goverment?

    Posted by CKUW PD on January 18th, 2023

    CKUW 95.9fm is proud to present a special broadcast of the Solidarity Winnipeg Podcast “What Should We Expect from an NDP Government?” on January 19th at 8am.

    Text from Solidarity Winnipeg

    With a provincial election coming this year it’s important to understand what the Manitoba NDP governments of 1999-2016 were like, why they did so little for working-class people, and what those of us who want radical change should learn from this. With guest Bronwyn Dobchuk-Land.

    Solidarity Winnipeg will be hosting a public discussion on Wednesday, January 25th at 7:00pm CST: “We know that the PCs and Liberals are parties of business, but what should we expect from an NDP government?”

    Please take a listen to our recent episode on this topic (Episode 22) before attending. Email us at [email protected] to register the event and receive the Zoom link!
