Launched in 1975 as the first campus radio in Canada, CKCU-FM 93.1 is not only an integral part of CARLETON UNIVERSITY, but it is also ‘Ottawa’s Community Radio Station’ that is broadcasting seven days a week around the clock. Transmitting its programs to an audience within a 100 km radius, that is the National Capital Region and beyond, it is also streaming live on the internet.

  • CKCU LitNews-2   Les Actualités littéraires dans le monde francophone, produced and hosted by Hans G. Ruprecht;
  • Paroles d’Afrique, une émission animée par Antoine Houlou-Garcia à Paris, pour CKCU/Literary News.
  • Littérature maghgrébine (prochainement).
  • CKCU LitNews-3 / Das literarische Echo. Deutschsprachige Literatur im Gespräch, produced and co-hosted by Hans G. Ruprecht & Helmut Zobl.
  • CKCU LitNews-4  Noticias literarias de Latinoamérica / Latin American literatures, produced with Alberto Quero.

These programs can be heard alternately, Wednesdays, 9:30-10:00 a.m. EST (Canada), locally on FM 93.1, and on worldwide stream. Currently we are
