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,
The CKDU Newsletter

7. REASONS WHY YOU DO LIKE MONDAYS
The Boomtown Rats obviously didn't know about Radio Numerica, CKDU's weekly Top 30 Countdown show, where we play the best of the new releases at the station. We are currently looking for a new host for Radio Numerica... if you think you'd like to give it a shot on Mondays from 1:30pm-3:30pm, then email tarek@ckdu.ca

8. ARE YOU A MORNING PERSON? Operation Wakeup (Mon - Fri, 8 - 9am) has some open slots in September, and we're looking for live hosts to participate in the collective show. Hosting a weekly show doesn't mean having to make your own news; we can help provide news and spoken word content, plus headlines, music, and announcements. Drop a line if you're interested, to news@ckdu.ca

9. GOODBYE TYNAN & KEELER
This week we say goodbye to two CKDU summer staff: Tynan Dunfield and Catherine Keeler. Thanks for all your hard work throughout the summer and we hope to see you around the station throughout the school year!

10. I DONATED TO CKDU AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS STUPID T-SHIRT
We want to make a t-shirt for YOUR SHOW to use as prizes for those who pledge $50 or more to your show during our Funding Drive. Programmers! If you think that a t-shirt with your show's logo will be beneficial for your fundraising, then start designing and lets get these t-shirts silk screened!
If you think this is something you would like to do for Funding Drive, or you need help designing, please email catherine@ckdu.ca
