November 22, 2007 - Edmonton - It was 80 years ago this week that CKUA Radio first went on the air from the University of Alberta's Power Plant. Though built on a shoestring budget, Canada's oldest public broadcaster was the pride of the Department of Extension, "taking the university to the people" with lectures, music, debates and dramatic performances. The first thing listeners would have heard on that November 21st evening was a rendition of "God Save the Queen" performed on an old piano, followed by a few introductory words from the university's president, Henry Marshall Tory: "Good evening, friends of the university audience."It was not the smoothest launch. The station couldn't initially be heard on its own frequency, and H.P. Brown - first director, announcer, disc jockey, sound effects man and lecturer - set fire to the studio's burlap curtains with a makeshift magnesium powder flashbulb on a camera poised to capture the historic moment. It was an age, writes Marylu Walters in CKUA: Radio Worth Fighting For, when a mere high-pitched voice would crash the microphone.CKUA (the last two letters referring to the university) eventually worked out the kinks, however, and began focusing its efforts on a rural audience. This was because, in the words of extension director Ned Corbett, "people who live in the country are more disposed and have more time, particularly in the long winter evenings, to listen to programs of a sound educational character." One enthusiastic early listener wrote that the best part of his day was when he could finally remove his manure-covered boots after working on the farm, lay down on his cot and listen to the fine classical music floating from his radio. The story reflects what countless listeners have said over the years.Eight decades after its inauspicious beginnings taking the university to the people, the CKUA Radio Network - mainly supported by listener donations and subscriptions - now takes its unique brand of informed music programming to the world over the Internet. To celebrate its birthday, we've prepared a short video (see above). We thank Lorna Thomas, producer of the television documentary "Radio Worth Fighting For," for permission to use her footage, and CKUA for some of the still photography.When you're done playing the video, tune into 94.9 FM on your radio dial or ckua.org on the Internet to find out what else CKUA has planned to celebrate turning 80, including a live variety show broadcast from the Myer Horowitz Theatre Friday, Nov. 23, hosted by the station's old disk jockey, John Worthington.
