CKUT-FM is a non-profit, member-owned and -operated campus and community radio station that broadcasts from McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It can be heard at 90.3 FM in Montreal and online at its website, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
CKUT's FM signal, broadcast from a tower on the top of Mount Royal, reaches as far as the Eastern Townships and upstate New York.
CKUT-FM has its roots in McGill University's radio club, founded in 1921, and then in the closed-circuit station CFRM on the campus of McGill University. It started broadcasting on FM on November 16, 1987.
Its mandate is to be a "mic for the mic-less" – to provide an essential service to those in the Montreal community whose needs are not met by mainstream commercial radio. The station is financially supported by donations and a McGill student fee levy.
