CKUW is the campus radio station at the University of Winnipeg in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The station broadcasts on 95.9 FM with 450 watts of power.

Since the late 60’s CKUW has offered students and the Winnipeg community a unique chance to express ideas and be introduced to music heard nowhere else in Winnipeg.

Beginning in 1968, CKUW operated as a closed circuit station broadcasting to Lockhart Hall lounges, the Buffeteria and the Bulman Students Centre. Despite the small presence on campus CKUW had a disproportionate effect on the local music scene, including spawing local music magazine Stylus and launching the career of many local media personalities.

After a decade of fundraising and planning, CKUW's licence application was approved by the CRTC in October 1998. Test broadcasts started on April 27, 1999, and the official kickoff broadcast started at 12:00 AM on Friday, April 30. First was a short speech by station manager Rob Schmidt, and the first song was "That's Entertainment" by The Jam.

Local cultural programs are a large part of the schedule, and a quarter of CKUW's programming consists of spoken word shows covering local news, the entertainment scene, and community/social justice issues.
