VIII. CKUT listed as one of Best Radio Stations in The Telegraph!
|
|
The Telegraph publishes an article called " The best radio stations" and lists CKUT as one of them! They write:
"I first became aware of this Montreal-based station as the home of WeFunk - a long-running, addictive soul, funk and hip-hop show, which goes out live every Friday, and is also available as a dedicated internet radio station at http://www.wefunkradio.com. There is, however, more to it than that: CKUT's schedules bustle with fine, alternative-leaning music programming - from jazz and ska to punk, folk and heavy metal - all of which is accessible to stream, on demand, from their website." |
