CKUT 90.3FM Fall Funding Drive, November 13 – 23, 2008.
CKUT 90.3 FM will be hosting its 2008 Fall Funding Drive from November
13-23, 2008! On behalf of the volunteer hosts and programmers of CKUT's
Under the Olive Tree, I ask you to support CKUT.
Why does CKUT deserve your support?
CKUT was the driving force behind "Radio Free Palestine", an 18 hour
live broadcast commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Palestinian
Nakba in May 2008 (http://humanrightsmedia.org/
historic programing joined 10s of radio stations in Canada, the USA,
the UK and Palestine, enabling them to highlight the various forms of
suffering, resistance and accomplishments of the Palestinian people in
the past 60 years. CKUT runs an exchange program with the
International Middle East Media Center (www.imemc.org) in Occupied
Palestine, sending dozens of volunteers over the past 2 years to help
and train at the center. CKUT to highlight has been an important
figure on Montreal's arts and culture scene for over 20 years. CKUT
has received many awards and recognitions for programming excellence,
and we pride ourselves on covering culture, news, and music that you
won't hear anywhere else. CKUT has always offered a unique listening
experience to our audience and excellent learning opportunities to
students and the greater Montreal community. We are truly a grassroots
radio station: our programming is created entirely by volunteers, and
supported by the community. By supporting CKUT, you are securing a
spot on the FM dial that truly represents the wonderfully creative and
diverse city of Montreal.
Why does CKUT need your donations?
CKUT receives no corporate funding and can only sell limited
community-based advertising (a license requirement). On one hand, this
removes commercial restraints on programming and keeps the station
accessible. However, it also means that we must find alternative means
of financing our operations, be it for the rent for our building and
broadcast tower, equipment repairs, or the salaries of our staff,
work-study students, and interns. All this adds up – it costs 50 dollars
an hour to run CKUT! Why not pledge $50 and pay for one hour of running
the station. This year we will be focusing our funds on a revamped
website and a new in-studio phone system that will make conference
calling and listener interaction easy.
How do I make my pledge?
It's easy to make your pledge online using our secure pledge form at

Thank you very much for your support.
Yours sincerely,
