	Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		CKUA wrestled with financial problems during the Great Depression and political meddling during the years 1935-44: William "Bible Bill" Aberhart, the premier, was determined to control the media.
		CKUA gained a private commercial FM licence in 1948 (the first in Alberta) and moved to the Alberta Block on Jasper Avenue in 1955.
		Walters is very good at describing (in chapters 14-16) the turmoil CKUA experienced during "the Hinchliffe years." Gail Hinchliffe, a Calgary-based property developer with strong Conservative party ties, served as the chair of ACCESS from 1991 and (simultaneously) as the CEO of CKUA from October 1994.

	Alberta Heritage Alphabet
		CKUA debuted on Nov. 21, 1927 following the purchase for $600 of local station CFCK and the final approval of its broadcast licence.
		While the offerings on CKUA for its eight-hours-per week schedule contained the adult educational content that had moved H.P. Brown to conceive the format of the station from the beginning, there was an entertainment component as well.
		Soon, CKUA would come to offer far more than educational programming; it would be needed to shore up the confidence and dreams of Albertans, and ironically, citizens would be most intrigued at the history of their province, and their country.

	Comment on CKUA Closure (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		CKUA's unique format and presentation is an important contributor to the culture of this province, and in reality is one of the few things we can really point to as being an "Alberta Advantage".
		Surely the public and the employees who are attempting to revive CKUA have a right to know the true nature of its financial status.
		To supplement its existing fundraising efforts, CKUA would require less than 1% of the alleged $181 million currently available, seemingly a small amount for a province-wide institution with 80,000 listeners and a 70-year tradition.

		CKUA radio went off the air after broadcasting exceptional noncommercial radio to the people of Alberta (as well as some parts of Saskatchewan and B.C.) since the 1920's.

		There’s a straightforward history of the station (which relies extensively on Walters’s research); there’s a discussion of the music CKUA played and how the station’s presence launched the careers of many announcers and musicians; and, of course, there’s coverage of how exactly the broadcasters got back on the air.
		As you’d expect, the film is bolstered by plenty of vintage footage and interviews with nostalgic old station alumni, who give a little backstory on how station got its start and what it has meant to Alberta over the years.
		CKUA’s history, its music and the fight to keep it alive all come back to one idea: this is a broadcaster run for the people in its community.

		CKUA started in 1927 on an extremely limited budget but with lots of energy and enthusiasm on the part of the studio and station staff.
		One of the most popular lecturers on CKUA was Dr. William Rowan, professor of zoology at the University of Alberta.
		On one occasion when he came back into the control room to listen with me on the earphones to determine the optimum microphone placement he asked me to try to explain to him how the sound produced in the studio was transmitted and reproduced in the home.
