CKUT-FM is the official campus community radio station of McGill University. It can be heard at 90.3 FM in Montreal, 91.7 on cable, or on the CKUT website. 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 is consistently voted as the Best Radio Station in The Montreal Mirror's , "Cult Montreal" Best of Montreal Readers Poll.
CKUT's programming is produced by more than 300 volunteers - McGill students and members of the community. The station also employs a handful of full-time and part-time coordinators. The station's format is freeform in that each programmer is responsible for choosing music without regard to commercial interests.
A great variety of music and spoken-word shows are broadcast daily in a multiplicity of languages, including English, French, Spanish, Korean, Hindi, and Haitian Creole.
CKUT established and has for the last ten years hosted the annual Homelessness Marathon. Every February, the marathon broadcasts fourteen hours from dusk until dawn. The broadcast engages with homelessness in Canada live and direct from the streets of Montreal.
