  • Live stream is up!

    Posted by Rob on September 14th, 2006

    We have restored the live mp3 radio stream.

    I apologize for the delay in getting it working I know a lot of people have come to depend on listening to CKUW on the net. Old bookmarks should work fine or you can copy & paste this address:

    For the third year running CKUW’s fab ‘Hip-Rock-Ninjas’ entered the annual U of W rock climb.

    Sadly, the Ninjas couldn’t pull a win out of their shinobi shozoku but it was a fine day and they did look great. You can follow their climb attempt through our photos page at flickr: CKUW Photo Album

  • Streaming Problems

    Posted by Rob on August 28th, 2006

    We’re having problems with our shoutcast (streaming) server.

    I’m hoping we can get it repaired this week. Until it is fixed we will be unable to stream CKUW live on the internet. In the meantime the archives (accessed through the program schedule) should still work. Please let us know if you encounter any difficulties.
