November 15 will mark 50 years since CKCU FM first hit the airwaves in 1975. The very first song broadcast was Joni Mitchell's 'You Turn Me On, I'm a Radio', and the Arts Tower—now known as Dunton Tower—was lit up with a giant "93.1", signaling the arrival of a new alternative voice for the community.
