Radio doesn’t get any better than CKUA. For 88 years we’ve proudly been setting the standard for independent radio in

CKUA is a donor supported, not for profit broadcaster based in Alberta. CKUA’s roots go back to 1927 as Canada’s first educational broadcaster. Privatized in 1994 after years of government support, listeners have kept CKUA on the air, strong and independent, ever since. In addition to its Alberta-wide terrestrial broadcast, programming is live streamed around the world via ckua.com. In 2012, CKUA moved into a new facility in Edmonton with significantly expanded production and performance space. In 2016, CKUA will move into additional space housed in the National Music Centre in Calgary. CKUA proudly supports the Alberta and Canadian music community by introducing and showcasing new artists, including local artists, throughout its programming and through live festival and concert broadcasts.
