Funding Drive Home Stretch

2010-10-06T23:36:00.000-03:00

Day 6 is almost over.

and we've broke $20,000!!!

No way! Really? The tally wouldn't lie. Especially after Doug Taylor started finding mistakes in it and now I've made it imperative that everyone uses a calculator.

Great work everybody. Reaching $20,000 in six days isn't that difficult to believe when you witness the hard work that they're made up with. Congrats to all the shows who have reached their goals and put in such great efforts organizing events and getting pre pledges.

It has been an amazing week. It has been tiring, it has been exciting, it has been a whirlwind of emotion, and it has been one hundred percent fun.

But we're not done. It's time for the final push.
Tomorrow is Day 7 and we are $6,000 away from our goal. So close! I taste sweet accomplishment combined with sleep, salad, and regular radio.

If you have any more pledges that you can add to the total, you need to get them in! Bring them to the station tomorrow so we can add them to the total. If they exist you can even email them or call them in. Just let us know of any additional pledges you have worked so hard to get so we can reach $26,000 by tomorrow at midnight.

And if you haven't been working hard to get pledges, now is the time. Step up and be that rising star that gets us to the finish line. Every pledge counts.

Tomorrow is going to be an exciting day and if we all do our part we can achieve our goal!

If we don't, I know we can achieve this on Friday.
If we are a couple of grand short by the end of tomorrow, we need to go into Friday October 8th with the pledge drive.
If this happens, we're going to need some volunteers. If we extend Funding Drive on Friday, the drive will end as soon as we've reached the $26,000 mark.
Please let me know if you are able to lend a hand on Friday and help with the final push to the big $26,000.
Here are the shifts:
8-10:30am
10:30am-1:30pm
1:30pm-4:00pm
4:00pm-6:00pm
6:00pm-9:30pm

Anyone who helps out on Friday October 8th doing phone shifts will get lunch/dinner from the Dawgfather. Please let me know if you are available during any of these shifts! Email me at catherine@ckdu.ca.

We are in the home stretch. We all need to push hard. As crazy as it sounds, lunch from the Dawgfather seems like nothing compared to reaching $26,000 tomorrow.
We've got lots of great shows lined up tomorrow that I know will be great. If you've already had your show and haven't reached your show goal, get on the phone and get those pledges in!

This is beyond exciting and I think tomorrow will be a nail biter. Let's do this! $6 more grand! Say it out loud and get it done team.

love, catherine

Dearest CKDU,
"It's not true I had nothing on! I had the radio on!"
Do you think Marilyn Monroe really said that? Or was it her publicist? Or maybe the internet made the whole thing up? You just can't know for sure these days.
Lovingly,

Dear dear CKDU,
I can't even believe that July is finally here, and now all I can think about is how quickly it's all going to go by. Let's make a pact, CKDU, to hang on to all the sunshiny summertime moments and make them all last a bit longer than they actually do. It will work if we all do it together. I promise.

Dearest CKDU,

Not until last night at my local karaoke haunt did I fully understand the dystopic vision laid out in Dolly Parton's classic, "9 to 5". "They let you dream, just to watch them shatter?" "You're just a step on the bossman's ladder?" Turns out Dolly P. had a real dark side. Who knew?

CKDU Member News, May 1, 2010

2010-05-01T15:01:00.000-03:00

Dear CKDU,
In anticipation of the inaugural ECLECTIC AVENUE dance party this Wednesday, I've been rediscovering Eddy Grant, and learning that Eddy's seminal hit, Electric Avenue, was way deeper than I ever gave him credit for. I aslo learned that the lyrics are "Deep in my heart I'm a warrior." All these years I thought it was either "Deep in my heart I adore ya" or "Deep in my heart I abhore ya." It's so much better Eddy's way.
xoxo

6. CKDU IN THE NEWS
The CKDU Lobby Show (April 22) made in onto DalNews Online. There's fun pics of Quivers, BA & Windom Earle, and a great explanation of our triumphant return to high power.

Sometimes when Buck 65 gets a shout out, it means we also get a shout out, on account of his previous personas as Stinkin Rich and CKDU programmer, DJ Critical. Check out this mention, which features an old Stinkin Rich song about listening to CKDU's low power signal from atop a tree in Mount Uniacke, and then later getting his own show. That's exactly how it's supposed to work!

4. GOODBYE JOSH, WE'LL MISS YOU!
CKDU-Katimavik volunteer, Josh Vettoretto, is heading off to his next post in Stonewall, Manitoba. We'll miss you, Josh! You've really helped out around here--updating PSAs, re-organizing the hallway CD libraries, and adding . Sadly, there's no new Katimavikers to help out until the fall.

Wow, so many goodbyes. Our trusty Spoken Word Coordinator, David Parker, is heading off on a 4-week unpaid leave starting next week. We wish him luck on his travels! David will be back on May 10th. In the meantime, other staff will take on David's key duties.

2010-03-30T02:22:00.000-03:00

Dearest CKDUers,

Here on the internet, there's so many things to learn. Such as: paiting or hwaiting (???, ??? "fighting"), a Korean cheer that can roughly be translated as "Victory!" but can also be used as a word of encouragement (a la "Courage!").

So... HWAITING! to you, dear CKDU.

SOCAN Reporting Period: March 31-April 3
SUB closure: Friday April 2

2. FRIDAY APRIL 2 SUB CLOSURE
As April 2 is a statutory holiday, the Student Union Building will be all locked up. But CKDU is still on the air! If you think you can't make your usual Friday show, please tell Tarek as soon as possible. Conversely, if you're available for emergency Easter Weekend fill-ins, let us know!

3. SOCAN COMETH...MARCH 31, APRIL 1, 2, 3
All programmers with a show airing on March 31 - April 3 will have to fill out the paper SOCAN logs! Please be sure to fill out all the info! Be extra-sure to fill out the time of day, composer/author, usage and duration! A sample log will be in MCR!
SOCAN (the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada) logs are part of a statistical sampling of music used throughout the country and are used to make an equitable division of SOCAN revenues to writers and publishers of music in Canada and throughout the world. Therefore, it is extremely important for clarity and accuracy in the logs.
For the SOCAN period, be extra sure to reach your Canadian content requirements and play your favorite local/Canadian band! They'll get paid!
To find out composer/author info for the SOCAN log check the album's liner notes. If that does not provide the answer check:
http://www.allmusic.com/
http://bmi.com/search/
http://www.discogs.com

4. MCR BOARD PROBLEM
One of the channels on the board is in need of repair and parts are on order. This means that Mic 2 is temporarily unavailable. Sorry for the inconvenience!

5. HELP PLAN FUNDING DRIVE 2010!
Planning meeting on Monday, March 29th, 6pm
A good, old-fashioned get together to discuss plans for Funding Drive 2010. If you're interested in joining, email Erica, and she will send you the compiled feedback from FD 2009.
Agenda:
Discuss feedback/thoughts on FD2009
Discuss potential changes for FD2010
Make action/task list for planning FD2010
Other fundraising potential? Grants, etc?
Discuss potential meeting times for future meetings

6. KEYS, PLEASE
Please, please, please be respectful of your fellow programmers and return CKDU/SUB keys to Dal Security ON THE SAME DAY that you borrow them. We have a limited supply of keys at Dal Security, and if you keep a key for days or weeks, it means other programmers have to jump through hoops (and run up and down many a stair) in order to get in to do their shows. Enough said.

7. STAFF LEAVES AND HOLIDAYS
Everyone needs a little time to themselves!
Reed Jones (Music) will be on holidays starting this Monday for two weeks. Expect him back in his office on Monday, April12th.
David Parker (Spoken Word) is taking a 4-week unpaid leave starting April 12th. David will be back in action on May 10th.

2. STAFF PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS
Yes, yes, it's tough being a CKDU programmer, because you're always having to fill out some form or another. But please remember, your input is vital to making CKDU a great community organization. The CKDU Board of Directors are doing staff evaluations and they need your input on your experiences with staff at the station. Forms are in the MCR, as is the box you put them in when your done. DEADLINE: March 24th. Evaluations for this round: Erica, David, and Reed.

3. MCR BOARD PROBLEM
One of the channels on the board is in need of repair and parts are on order. This means that Mic 2 is temporarily unavailable. Sorry for the inconvenience!

4. STREAMING & ARCHIVES UPDATE
Some points that you should know. This is techie stuff, put please give it a read. Knowledge is power!
**Our online stream is now set up to come straight from the board. This means that if our broadcast is down for some reason (ie. power outage at CBC) then we are still live on the internet. Thanks, George!
**The archives, however, are based around our logging system, which gets audio from an actual radio receiver. We are required by the CRTC to log what we actually broadcast, so logger (and therefore archives) need to be getting audio from 88.1FM. If the broadcast goes down (due to a power outage, hurricane, the apocalypse, or what have you), so does logger, and so does archives.
**Our online stream is moving towards using Icecast, which is a more stable method of streaming. Icecast produces ogg files instead of mp3 files. Ogg is the open-source version of mp3, and it has a better sound quality. But streaming Ogg means that some internet listeners, especially those on iTunes, will need to install a codec to be able to play ogg files. You can try finding that codec here: http://www.vorbis.com/
We will post this on the website soon to help inform listeners. But if you have a mailing list, you can also let your listeners know about this.
For now, people can still listen in mp3 using the lo-fi stream. Eventually that will be moved to ogg as well, but not for a few weeks.

5. CKDU IN THE NEWS!
"Internet age makes community broadcaster more important than ever"
Yup, that's right, internet. You thought you killed radio, but we were just faking it!
http://www.halifaxnewsnet.ca/index.cfm?sid=331891&sc=608

6. HELP PLAN FUNDING DRIVE 2010
Monday, March 29th, 6pm
A good, old-fashioned get together to discuss plans for Funding Drive 2010. If you're interested in joining, email Erica, and she will send you the compiled feedback from FD 2009.

Discuss feedback/thoughts on FD2009
Discuss potential changes for FD2010
Make action/task list for planning FD2010
Other fundraising potential? Grants, etc?
Discuss potential meeting times for future meetings

7. SHOW START TIMES AND END TIMES
This is a friendly and gentle reminder to please do your best to end your show on time. Often times when one show starts late it creates a domino effect and many shows' start times are pushed back. It is really important to do your best to wrap things up on time -- listeners like it and programmers do too! The clock on the MCR board has been calibrated and is ready for your impeccable timing.

8. GOING TO NCRC 2010 GABRIOLA

12. DO YOU PLAY NEW RELEASES? HELP THEM CHART!
Dear Programmers,
I've noticed that since the introduction of the paperless logger, the amount of new releases being played has dwindled from some 150 new release being played each week, down to fewer then 50 per week…
So i just wanted to remind everyone that in order to help your favourite bands make it on to our Top 10 Coast Chart and our Top 30 Earshot Chart, you MUST make sure you add the new release numbers into the paperless logger.
--Reed, Music Director

13. LET YOUR SHOW ROCK THE MIDNIGHT HOURS
Are you interested in having your show rebroadcast during the late night hours? We have some space on our overnighter programming for your show! All that is required from you is that you:

2. Clean up the beginning and ending
3. Upload it to the CKDU overnighter archives (don't worry, we'll show you how)
If you are interested contact Tarek (tarek@ckdu.ca). Why wouldn't you?

14. OUT LIKE A LION FESTIVAL

16. EX-CKDU SHENANIGANS REPORT

Dear CKDU,
I don't really like to count my chickens before they're hatched, but can't you just feel that spring is literally RIGHT around the corner? Here's hoping that the sunshine is wreaking havoc on your wintery mood, turning your frown upside down, and generally causing a stir in your vicinity.
xox,

5. COMPUTER FILES TO BE DELETED!
Do you have files in DEMO, NOHOST or in your profile? If so, please DOWNSIZE. All Audacity or Ardour projects should be exported to mp3 or ogg, and then deleted.

An emptier computer means a more reliable, happier computer.

Can you help? If so, email david@ckdu.ca, or call 494-2585.

3. COMPUTER FILES TO BE DELETED!
This just in from George: If you have a profile on our server and have files that you do not need anymore - please get rid of them. Within a week you may not have access to them. We need to free up some space on our servers and I've noticed some programmers have upwards of 30gb of wav and production files in their account. Please back up anything you want. Next week I will be deleting files from profiles that are excessively large. I'll make an effort to keep anything that looks useful - but no promises!

4. CKDU GENERAL MEMBERS MEETING!

** Hosting the NCRC 2011

5. CKDU SHOW SWAP WEEK
The 1st annual CKDU show swap week was a bumpin' mini-party! There were not a ton of folks who switched shows, but it was a fun experience for those willing to take the risk. Some cool CKDU programs that swapped with each other were Third Wave/Mad Session and The Message/The Explainer. Getting ready for the second installment of this radio fiesta soon! You will be harassed EVEN MORE to get out of your comfort zone and swap your show! To be continued...

6. CFRC CALL FOR FUNDING APPLICATIONS
The Community Radio Fund of Canada (CRFC) is making a call for applications for Canada’s campus and community radio sector!

CKDU Member News Feb 12, 2009

2010-02-22T16:26:00.000-04:00

Dearest radio lovers & purveyors,

February 14th is a great day to remember that Beyoncé "I think I'm in love with my radio" Knowles, along with countless Halifax area listeners, is counting on you not to let her down. In between celebrating 25 years on FM, and 4 years at 88.1, take a moment to note that you are sending love in the form of words and music out over the airwaves every week. And we love you for it!

Keep up the good work.

Love,

The CKDU Newsletter

2. 8TH ANNUAL HOMELESSNESS MARATHON - FEB 23-24
Please help promote this amazing radio event on your show! Let listeners know that it's happening overnight from Feb 23rd to Feb 24th. Here's the details:
The eighth annual Homelessness Marathon will once again serve up 14 hours of people-powered radio, broadcast in 35 Canadian cities on Tuesday, February 23rd, from 6pm until 8am on Feb. 24th.
CKDU will broadcast live from outside St. Matthew's United Church, 1479 Barrington Street, right beside the Out of the Cold Emergency Shelter. We will offer hot food and hot coffee and tea all night long in our indoor listening booth. Halifax will broadcast live across the country from 7pm until 11pm, and then again between 1 am and 2 am.
Listeners are invited to call-in with their questions or comments toll-free: 1-866-594-7729. Listeners can tune in at 88.1 FM in Halifax, or online at www.ckdu.ca

3. 1ST ANNUAL CKDU SHOW SWAP WEEK: FEBRUARY 15 - 21

There's a growing list of interested show swappers! Email Tarek as soon as possible if you'd like to try something different next week and host a show in a different style or format. Just e-mail Tarek (tarek@ckdu.ca).

4. TRANSMITTER UPDATE
As you know: We are now broadcasting under a temporary license from atop Geizer Hill in Fairview. We are currently pumping only 28 watts through our exciter, which has turned out to be a fairly weak signal in many parts of the city.
Tell your listeners: If they have trouble picking up the signal, an antenna might just do the trick. Here's some information on improving your reception from WERU Community Radio in Maine.
http://weru.org/reception.html
Timeline: This current transmitter set up will remain until we have received approval from the CRTC for an amendment to our permanent license. Our application has been posted on the CRTC website: CRTC broadcast applications

You can leave comments there. The CRTC has been made aware of our current predicament with poor quality transmission. Keep your fingers crossed that our approval comes through in a timely fashion!

5. COMPUTER SPRING CLEANING! PLEASE DELETE OLD FILES
CKDU's computers are full to brimming. If you have an account on the PCR/MCR computers, please take a moment in the coming week to delete some old files that you don't need. Audacity or Ardour projects that are finished should be exported as ogg, mp3, wav or flac files, and then the projects should be deleted. Also, please consider burning your audio archives to CD and then deleting them from the computer. We have CDRs available for a small fee, or bring your own!

6. NATIONAL C/C RADIO CONFERENCE: June 2010

This year's NCRC is June 7th to 11th on Gabriola Island in British Columbia. The host station is Gabriola Coop Radio. You can check out what they have planned here: http://www.ckgi.ca/ncrc-2010/

CKDU has a small budget to help get programmers to the NCRC. It won't be an all-expenses-paid trip, but if you're interested in meeting community radio folks from far and wide while enjoying some fine Pacific ocean air, then consider going to NCRC Gabriola. In particular, we'd like to send some CKDU programmers to present workshops and share their skills and experience. Think about it!

Also: CKDU has volunteered to host NCRC 2011. Think about that!

7. LAST CHANCE FOR FUNDING DRIVE INPUT

We will be compiling the feedback from the Funding Drive 09 survey shortly. Please take the opportunity to share your thoughts on how FD went this year, and your ideas for how we can make it better in 2010. So far we have about 10 responses, my friends. That's pathetic! Just click here and take two minutes to share your thoughts: http://www.kwiksurveys.com/online-survey.php?surveyID=MLKEF_d9fdb1a4

8. STAFF EVALUATIONS COMING SOON

Yes, yes, it's tough being a CKDU programmer, because you're always having to fill out some form or another. But please remember, your input is vital to making CKDU a great community organization. The CKDU Board of Directors will be doing staff evaluations in the coming month, and they'll need your input on your experiences with staff at the station. Evaluations for this round: Erica, David, and Reed. Stay tuned for more info.

9. WELCOME TO OUR NEW KATIMAVIK PARTICIPANT, JOSH
A new member has joined Team CKDU! Please introduce yourself to Josh, a new volunteer with the Katimavik program, who will be working at CKDU for the next 3 months. Josh is an artistic guy and up for learning as much as he can about radio. Let's help him out! He's certainly helping us.
