Celebrating 40 Years
This year, 93.3 CFMU FM turns 40 years old. Sort of.
The idea of CFMU was hatched a decade earlier, in the mid-1960s, when students began a one-hour McMaster-themed program on 900 CHML. Years later, CFMU evolved into a “closed-circuit” radio station broadcasting to McMaster’s campus from the basement of Wentworth House. The signal was carried on the standard electrical wires in the walls of your residence room and you had to push your radio against the wall to hear anything. For real.
Years later, a group of dedicated and passionate students went through the painstaking application process for an FM broadcasting license, and raised the broadcast antenna on the roof of Brandon Hall. 93.3 CFMU FM – the media entity as it stands today – officially launched on Friday, January 13th, 1978.
Over the years, we’ve moved our transmitter a couple of times. Today it stands atop Mohawk College. We’ve moved our studios, too, from the environs of 301 Hamilton Hall to roomier digs in the basement of the McMaster University Student Centre. We’ve moved from analog to digital, replacing reel-to-reel tape with digital editing software. Our most recent move was from our outdated URL to cfmu.ca; home of our sharp new website. If you haven’t had a chance to check out cfmu.ca yet, you’re missing top of the line blog and video content, as well as live streaming and archived downloadable podcasts for both desktop and mobile.
