ABOUT RADIO CKUT

CKUT 90.3 FM is a non-profit campus/community radio station based on the McGill Campus. We broadcast 24-7 on the FM dial and all our programming is available online for streaming and as a podcast for a 3-month period.

CKUT’s mission is to grant airtime to those who are not adequately served by the mainstream media and to provide facilities and training to members of the Montreal community and interested students. We believe that engaging in community media is an empowering experience for the individual and an instrument in facilitating change in our communities.
