About Me

CKUW is the on-campus FM radio station at the University of Winnipeg in Manitoba, Canada.
We broadcast at 95.9 MHz with 450 watts of power. Out transmitter and antenna are on top of ..7 Evergreen Place in Osborne village. The station operates 24 hours a day 7 days a week with all the programming being done by volunteers.
Since the late 60's CKUW has offered students and the community a unique chance to express ideas and be introduced to music heard nowhere else in Winnipeg. CKUW programmers have an outspoken passion for music and information.
We strive to represent all genres of music with an attempt to focus on the vibrant local scene, as well as music from across Canada and around the world.
