CKUW-FM is the campus radio station at the University of Winnipeg in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The station broadcasts on 95.9 FM with 450 watts effective radiated power.
Beginning as CJUC, the station was started in 1963 by David Shilliday and physics professor Ron Riddell. In 1968 the call letters were changed to CKUW to mark the founding of the University of Winnipeg. At that time the station operated as a closed circuit station broadcasting to Lockhart Hall lounges, the Buffeteria and the Bulman Students Centre. Despite the small presence on campus CKUW had a disproportionate effect on the local music scene, including spawning local music magazine Stylus and launching the career of many local media personalities.
After a decade of fundraising and planning, CKUW's licence application was approved by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) in October 1998. Test broadcasts started on April 27, 1999, and the official kickoff broadcast started on April 30. First was a short speech by station manager Rob Schmidt, and the first song was "That's Entertainment" by The Jam.
Sexy words
(Sexy words)
Don't mean that much to me
'Cause I've heard just about everything
That a man could ever say to me
To make me stay, now I need more
So don't bring me roses, bring me the truth
Don't buy me diamonds 'cause that just won't do
Material things I could buy myself if I really want to
I need something special, I need something new
Just give me you
Spare me the parts
(Spare me the parts)
When you shower me with gifts
Don't send me cards no box of chocolates
And don't promise me the world
I'm not that type of girl that needs that to feel complete
So don't bring me roses, bring me the truth
And don't buy me diamonds 'cause that just won't do
Material things I could buy myself if I really want to
I need something special, I need something new
Just give me you, just give me you
Things on this world don't mean that much to me
I need your heart and I need honesty
If all you got is flashiness
Then please turn around and leave
So don't bring me roses, bring me the truth
Don't buy me diamonds 'cause that just won't do
Material things I could buy myself if I really want to
I need something special, I need something new
So don't bring me roses, bring me the truth
Don't buy me diamonds 'cause that just won't do
Material things I could buy myself if I really want to
I need something special I need something new
Just give me you, just give me you
All I need is you, give me you
Sexy words don't mean that much to me
