CKUW is now live in the the Hive
This week CKUW returned to regular broadcasting on campus in the Lockhart Hall Hive. U of W alumni will remember the hive as the ‘fishbowl’ smoking lounge on the first floor of Lockhart Hall, CKUW’s main broadcast area from 1968-98. Closed for several years, the UWSA undertook renovations and re-opened the room this fall.
Although our studios have never left U of W it’s been nearly 17 years since we shut off our closed circuit speakers and leapt to the FM dial. Thank you to the UWSA and Ted Turner who ensured that CKUW would return to our ancestral home on campus.
