CKUW-FM is the campus radio station at the University of Winnipeg in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The station broadcasts on 95.9 FM with 450 watts effective radiated power. Beginning as CJUC, the station was started in 1963 by David Shilliday and physics professor Ron Riddell. In 1968 the call letters were changed to CKUW to mark the founding of the University of Winnipeg. At that time the station operated as a closed circuit station broadcasting to Lockhart Hall lounges, the Buffeteria and the Bulman Students Centre. Despite the small presence on campus CKUW had a disproportionate effect on the local music scene, including spawning local music magazine ''Stylus'' and launching the career of many local media personalities. After a decade of fundraising and planning, CKUW's licence application was approved by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) in October 1998.〔(Decision CRTC 98-476 )〕 Test broadcasts started on April 27, 1999, and the official kickoff broadcast started on April 30. First was a short speech by station manager Rob Schmidt, and the first song was "That's Entertainment" by The Jam. Local cultural programs are a large part of the schedule, and a quarter of CKUW's programming consists of spoken word shows covering local news, the entertainment scene, and community/social justice issues. Long time shows featured and famous on CKUW radio include ''Bluesday'' with Rockin' Ronnie, ''People of Interest'' (morning news magazine, formerly ''The Beat''), ''Say It, Sista!'' (feminist news), ''Black Mask'' (anarchist viewpoints), ''Stylus Radio'' (based on the University of Winnipeg music magazine, ''Stylus''), ''The Ultra Mega Sports Show'' (sports commentary), and ''Antennas to Heaven'' (political satire). CKUW also airs some popular syndicated talk-radio shows from around North America, such as ''Democracy Now!'' and ''Alternative Radio''. CKUW broadcasts at 95.9 MHz with 450 watts of power. Its transmitter and antenna are on top of #7 Evergreen Place in Osborne village in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The station operates 24 hours a day 7 days a week with all the programming being done by volunteers. A coverage map of how far the station broadcasts shows in this photo at this link: http://ckuw.ca/index.php/coverage == Philosophy == CKUW operates on a grass roots control, meaning that everybody, including volunteers have voice and creative input to what goes on air. Its programming is a reflection of the true interests and concerns that the members want to create that is not aired on mainstream radio. Many of the music played and opinions expressed on community radio sometimes can't fit in mainstream radio due to content restrictions. This philosophy is what sets apart campus radio from mass media. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CKUW-FM」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
