You can catch us in between the G-Spot Slice and Sound Mind., at 9:15 am. The program guide online has the listings wrong for the last half hour. If you tune in and hear food blather, that would be the fine folks from Slice, (sponsored by the Garden Spot aka G-Spot) who do a vegetarian & vegan food 10-minute segment right before us. So stay tuned!
The CKCU Science Collective currently includes me (Dianne Murray), Jon Moreau, Mark Young, and our occasional
technology reporter and technician, Farrell McGovern.
So tune in or surf over for the best in science radio, at Let X = X!
-Dianne
We are one of the oldest and longest running programs on CKCU-FM.
We were also the first show on the station to utilize our new digital audio
servers to record, edit and broadcast, a show [last years special broadcast
of Carleton's yearly Herzberg science lectures] - appropriate for a science
and technology show! :).
Let X = X broadcasted bi-weekly on Real Audio using the servers at magma.ca
and can be heard over the regular airwaves from CKCU-FM, 93.1's transmitters
at Camp Fortune. .
CKCU is an Ottawa's oldest awardwinning community and campus station.
As the oldest surviving such station in Canada we have been a model
for most of the others set up since. Licensed through the CRTC with a
mandate to provide alternative broadcasting to all the other stations
out there, this is our 25th year but the stations birthday isn't till Nov.
15th.
In 1994 the production reins were taken over by Dianne Murray and chemical
engineer and chemist Eric Van Dusen, then at U. of Ottawa.
Since then we have seen many faces come and go. Some have stayed on.
This page will focus on them and the new "recruits" and I will be
updating this page with a record of our members over the years and their
contributions to the show.
the good ship Let X = X and our crew, the ckcu- science collective
