CKCU 2025 Funding Drive launch party October 24th!

The CKCU 2025 Funding Drive kicks off this Friday and we’re calling attention to the importance of independent community media: INDEPENDENT MEDIA MATTERS!

Come kick off this exciting annual event with us at The Record Centre on October 24th from 2pm – 7pm. Meet the people behind CKCU, enjoy snacks, listen to music, and shop a great selection of vinyl. DJs Trevor Walker, Lamb Fatale, Chris International, and Grondini will be spinning music live; and at 5pm, Friday Drive will be broadcasting live from the location.

CKCU is not only a community radio station — we’re a leader and advocate for independent and community media near and far. This year, we’re celebrating 50 years of FM broadcasting as Canada’s first campus-community station. When you support CKCU, it’s not only about sustaining us as a station — it’s about standing with fellow independent media groups in community radio, community TV, and other digital networks and independent platforms to show that independent media matters everywhere.

You can support this year’s fundraising goal of $193,100 anytime from October 24th – November 9th.

We hope to see you Friday!
