CKMS-FM
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CKMS-FM is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 100.3 FM in Waterloo, Ontario. It is the campus radio station of the city's University of Waterloo.
The station launched in 1977 at 94.5 FM, and moved to its current frequency in 1992 where it has been broadcasting from at least 6am until midnight ever since.
CKMS-FM plays a variety of genres from rap music to rock music to classical music and everything in between. This is something the station prides itself on. The station offers a request line at 1-519-884-CKMS. The programmers at CKMS are all volunteers from the Kitchener-Waterloo community and students at the University of Waterloo.
[edit] Governance
The station is governed by a Board of Directors made up of four students and three communities members. The current sitting board is as follows:
President: Steve Krysak (Student)
Vice President: Bob Puersten (Community)
Secretary: Evan Lichty (Student)
Treasurer: Selene MacLeod (Community)
Board Member: James "Road Dog" Walker (Community)
Board Member: Cole Atlin (Student)
Board Member: Aletheia Zoe Chiang (Student)
[edit] Future of CKMS-FM
As of March 2008, a student referendum was passed with Jeffery Aho on the 'Yes' Committee that would no longer place the $5 fee onto student's bill statement.
The Board of Directors and staff have been working on a means to maintain basic operating costs, but with funding ceasing on September 1st 2008, the future is unsure.
