CJNU is Winnipeg’s English language community licenced radio station – dedicated to accentuating the positive.
We work closely with fellow non-profits, charities, arts and cultural organizations, community groups, and small local businesses, to shine a light on the good things happening in our community.
We choose to share our platform with as many as possible, and work hard to amplify the voices of others to help tell their stories.
We specifically target an audience of discerning listeners aged 50 and older – a potential reach of over 250,000 people in the Capital Region – but we take an intergenerational approach in everything we do.
We operate as a not-for-profit, community service co-operative, incorporated under the Manitoba Cooperatives Act – governed by a board of directors with a mix of persons from media, business and broader community backgrounds.
We broadcast at 93.7FM to the capital region of Manitoba, we are carried province wide on BellMTS TV channel 725, and we are available around the world online at CJNU.ca - and via all major streaming apps including TuneIn, Streema, RadioPlayer Canada and more.
CJNU is licenced by the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Comission (CRTC) to operate a community radio station at 93.7FM in Winnipeg. You can read our CRTC licence decision here. In addition to what is outlined in our licence decision, we must adhere to the CRTC's policy on community radio, which you can read here. We are mandated by the CRTC to sound different and distinct to the rest of radio – meaning we try hard to offer a service that differs in both style and substance to that of our colleagues in Public and Commercial radio.
Our transmitter sits atop 55 Nassau - and we hold a permit from Industry Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) to operate our transmitter at 93.7FM with an effective radiated power of 2000 watts.
CJNU pays music licencing fees on an annual basis to SOCAN, CMRRA and Re:Sound - ensuring the artists we play are compensated for their work.
CJNU is a proud member of the National Campus and Community Radio Association (NCRA) - a national organization which advocates for the interests of Community and Campus licenced radio stations in Canada.
CJNU has historical roots in the west of Winnipeg - and remains a proud member of the Assiniboia Chamber of Commerce., as well as being a member of the Winnipeg Chamber, and the Manitoba Cooperative Association.
