    In 1975, CKCU became the first campus-based radio station Canada! It's on 93.1 FM, aka "The Mighty 93.1", and is broadcasted from the Carleton University campus. It's a registered charity that is funded by students, members of the community, program sponsorships, and donors, with an annual funding drive to support the station.

    Because the station is so involved with the community, it advertises and takes part in music, arts, and and other local events. They also have a radio camp for kids, where they can learn how to write, record, and edit advertisements, interviews, sound effects, and other audio files.

    What's great about CKCU is that it's run mostly by volunteers, and they take music submissions, like CDs, Vinyls, and digital files. It also has a live broadcast host at all times, including nights, weekends, and holidays, and it even has live bands from time to time. It's very multicultural and appeals to many audiences, as it has at least a hundred programs with different formats and styles, genres of music, and in various languages.
