    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.
