This year’s FUNdrive continues a successful tradition started in 1999. Since then, the station’s listeners have donated over $280,000 to Winnipeg’s ‘Downtown Underground’ radio. Unlike commercial radio, 95.9 FM CKUW doesn’t rely on advertising support to keep the station going, and listener donations help maintain and improve CKUW’s radio service.
A soap opera set in the West Central neighbourhood is going to air on CKUW 95.9fm and we are looking for writers, actors and ideas. It’s going to be great fun!
If you would like to contribute some of your enthusiasm and creativity to the project there is no need to wait. Come to an information/sharing session Tuesdays 12:30-1:30pm from now until February 19th in room 3M52 at the U of W. Or contact Jason at [email protected] for details.
I just started listening in on Bluesday. I’ve never really listened to blues before, but a friend of mine turned me onto this and now I’m hooked!
