CIUT-FM is a college and community radio station wholly owned and operated by the University of Toronto. The station broadcasts live from Toronto on the 89.5 FM frequency for 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Programming can also be heard nationally via channel 826 on Star Choice's National Satellite Network, and over the Internet via the CIUT Web site. The station is financially supported by the University of Toronto through a $5 levy from each full time undergraduate student and is also pledge-driven.
The station began as a closed-circuit broadcaster called Radio University in 1966, later becoming Input Radio, UTR and then CJUT. All these versions of the station were only heard within the confines of the University of Toronto. The station was granted a broadcast license and became CIUT-FM in 1986, and on January 15, 1987, the station's FM broadcasts began to reach a considerably wider range across southern Ontario.
Today, CIUT broadcasts at 15 kilowatts from a transmitter on the top of First Canadian Place in Downtown Toronto. With more signal power than generally found at other community radio stations, CIUT's broadcast reaches as far as Barrie to the north, Buffalo to the south, Kitchener to the west and Cobourg to the east.
