CKDU is looking for a fistful of dollars (or more . . .)

It’s that time of year, Halifax.

CKDU,
Halifax’s campus and community radio station, is hosting its annual funding drive! This year’s goal is $28,000, all in the name of sustaining Halifax’s independent radio station on the airwave.

I have to admit, I love CKDU. For years, I hosted a Tuesday-morning music program called Moody Morning Music where I played whatever my heart desired. From Stereolab to The Smiths, PJ Harvey to Patti Smith and a whole lot more. It was great to reach out to people in that way.

This year’s events include the third annual Halifax Is Bowling event and plenty of others, including pancake luncheons and lobby shows at the station. Check out the funding drive’s calendar of events here.

Journalist, writer, blogger, producer.
