Description
The past few years have seen a number of exciting changes at CKXU 88.3 FM: the station has moved to the FM band, with an associated increase in listenership and in interest in the station; our programming continues to grow in scope; and we have taken a step into the future with the addition of Internet broadcasting. However, the station began under much more modest circumstances.
In 1972, a public address system was set up in section A of University Hall at the University of Lethbridge to broadcast musical content inside the building from mid-morning to early afternoon. The station was managed by a three-member executive under the auspices of the Students’ Union of the University of Lethbridge.
The CKUL Radio Society was incorporated in October, 1977, to govern the affairs of the station, and a year later the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) granted the society a licence to broadcast at 530 AM. Even in those early days, the Board of Directors of the station was eyeing a move to FM by increasing the number of daily broadcast hours and developing the long-term income streams necessary to maintain such an operation.
