For nearly 50 years, CKCU has been powered by the energy and commitment of its volunteers.
Were you one of them?
If you’ve ever contributed to our sound, you might be interested to know that CKCU is about to celebrate its 50th anniversary.
CKCU first hit the airwaves on November 15, 1975 (fun facts: the first song broadcast was Joni Mitchell’s “You Turn Me On, I’m A Radio” and the Arts Tower was lit up with a giant “93.1”, signalling the arrival of a new alternative voice for the community).
Planning for a 50th Anniversary Reunion Weekend is already under way. The organizers hope to invite all past and present CKCU volunteers to celebrate together, November 14-16, 2025. But to invite everyone, we first have to find everyone.
If you volunteered at CKCU – ever – and want to learn more about the 50th Anniversary Weekend and other anniversary projects (There will be a book! There will be music!), write to Bruce White at alumni@ckcufm.com. He’ll add you to his email list for updates.

Congratulations on your – our – 50th anniversary! We couldn’t have done it without you!
