CKXU 88.3 FM is celebrating 20 years on the FM Dial! In celebration of this milestone, we have worked with local artist, Amber Arbee, to create a 20 year anniversary logo. CKXU is powered by the local campus and community, and we are incredible excited to launch this logo on a limited edition hoodie! Featuring white linework of the 20 Year Anniversary logo on a crisp black hoodie, this design is timeless AND stylish! Sizes available from SM to 3XL, hoodies made by our pals at SoNormal!

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A PREORDER! PREORDERS WILL BE FULFILLED BY FEBRUARY 28, 2025! You will receive an email from the CKXU Crew letting you know hoodie stock has been received and the anticipated delivery date. If you would prefer to pick-up your hoodie, please email Genna at [email protected]

Every hoodie purchased directly contributes to CKXU’s ability to BEAT DOWN OUR BILLS! This aligns with CKXU’s October 2024 FUNdrive: Broadcast Beatdown fundraiser! Making radio, keeping the broadcast equipment in tip-top shape, and maintaining our Broadcast tower lease and utilities accounts for 70% of our annual operating expenses and it’s thanks to amazing donors and donors-to-be (like YOU!) that we’re able to pay these bills and keep the good ol’ CKXU tunes a flowing and the volunteer opportunities and resources plentiful!
