CIUT Fall Fundraising Show November 8/06

Like every other campus community broadcaster in North America, CIUT relies on fundraising for a significant chunk of its income. We've been doing the biannual format for several years now, and it seems to have helped overall. To tell the truth, I always have a rough go of fundraising, so I go all out to assemble the best guests and giveaways to make for some quality programming in support of a good cause.

This season's fundraising broadcast is lined up and ready to go, featuring guests Dubmatix (Torontonian dub master, returning to the AI after joining us over the summer prior to his latest release Atomic Subsonic); Colin Fisher (sax/guitar fierceness in I Have Eaten The City and many more, active in the AIMT) and DJ Sipreano (curator of Light In The Attic's Jamaica To Toronto series).

The giveaways? There will be over 30 discs to give away during the two hour slot from 6-8PM from such labels as Riverboat, Six Degrees, Thrill Jockey, Soul Jazz, Frikyiwa and Crammed Discs. But you have to listen and call in (local: 416-946-7800; toll free: 1-888-204-8976) to be eligible for the draws. Visit the CIUT site for more details, but I hope to hear from you on Wednesday!
