CKDU-FM has been broadcasting as an FM station since 1985. Student radio began at Dalhousie in 1964 as a radio club. In 1969, the club moved into the newly completed Dalhousie Student Union building and broadcast throughout the building via a system of speakers. In 1975, the radio club became CKDU and began broadcasting through closed circuit to Dal residences. CKDU-FM has about 150 members at any one time involved with different aspects of our music and current affairs programming.
Volunteers are the life-blood of the station.
Volunteers include both university students, as well as members of the community. We are a non-profit society with an elected Board of Directors. CKDU-FM reflects a dynamic environment of old and new volunteers. CKDU-FM provides a forum by which all members of the Halifax community can be heard. We provide a variety of music and programming not usually found on commercial radio.
