CKUW’s Philosophy
CKUW is a true Community/Campus radio station.
Campus/Community radio is just that, a reflection of the community that owns and creates the programs - not a preprogrammed infomercial for big business.
CKUW is people driven not profit driven. As a non profit corporation, CKUW is controlled by the Board of Directors, Staff, and volunteers. Because of this grass roots control, the programming is a reflection of the true interests and concerns of the volunteers and the local community.
Campus/Community radio has the freedom and the mandate to present music and ideas that can not be found in the mass media. CKUW is a place where alternative viewpoints can be aired, and local musicians always take priority over top 40 jingles.
Local cultural programs are a large part of our schedule, and a quarter of our programming consists of spoken word shows covering local news, the entertainment scene, and community/social justice issues.
