As our mission statement outlines, we exist to provide an alternative to mainstream media, to provide community access to the airwaves, and to offer programming that reflects the diverse elements of the listening community from Cobourg to Kitchener, and Buffalo to Barrie.

To achieve these objectives, we draw on the wide-ranging talents and global interests of students, faculty and community members, and provide opportunities for volunteers to learn about and participate in radio-related activities.

Above all, CIUT 89.5FM exists to serve its listeners. We seek to stimulate, educate, entertain and challenge our audiences, and to meet listener needs that are not currently addressed by other broadcast media.
