How to find the CIUT 89.5 FM schedule

Start at CIUT’s official Schedule page rather than relying on a search snippet, an old social post, or a third-party radio directory. The page presents a weekly grid organized by Monday through Sunday, with time ranges and program names. It also identifies CIUT-FM 89.5 as a campus and community radio station and says its shows are prepared by volunteer hosts.

The official About page supplies the broader context: CIUT describes its service as campus and community programming reflecting Toronto’s cultural diversity, operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week. That description explains why the schedule contains music, spoken-word, news, cultural, and community programming rather than one single genre lane. Treat the schedule as the source for the time slot and the About page as context, not as a substitute for the grid.

If you know when you want to listen, scan the weekly page by day. Each day is divided into time blocks, and some entries are marked as repeats or encore presentations. Read the day label, start and end time, title, and repeat note together; a show title by itself is not enough to establish when it airs. Write the slot in your local time and check the official page again before planning around it.

The grid is also useful when you are exploring. Look across the day for music blocks, news, cultural programming, or a particular time window, then open the show’s own official page if one is linked from CIUT. Do not infer a show’s subject, host, guest policy, or playlist from a title alone. The schedule establishes the listed slot; the program page or station contact route must support any additional claim.

Use CIUT’s official Alphabetical Show List when you remember a title but not the day. The list groups programs under letter headings and pairs each title with a day and time. It is a faster route for a known show than scanning the entire weekly grid, and it can reveal repeat slots. Compare the Show List with the weekly Schedule if the wording, time, or repeat information looks different.

The Show List is also a useful spelling check. Search for the station’s exact program title before sharing it with a guest, artist, venue, or colleague. A title appearing in the list does not prove that CIUT is currently accepting submissions, that a guest is booked, or that a program covers every artist in a genre. Keep those questions separate from the basic task of locating a broadcast.

Use the station’s own schedule as the current reference and check it again close to the planned listening time. Save the URL, not just a screenshot or copied time, because a saved image can become stale. If a weekly listing and a program page disagree, do not choose the version that is most convenient; confirm through CIUT’s official public route and avoid promising a guest, release, or airplay opportunity based only on an old listing.

For a practical record, note the date checked, the program title, the displayed day and time, whether the entry is a repeat, and the official page used. This is especially useful when you are coordinating a listening party, interview availability, or a release announcement. A schedule can identify when a program is listed; it cannot guarantee that a particular song, interview, or segment will air.

CIUT’s official Contact page separates several requests. It provides a route for submitting music, a route for new broadcast or podcast program ideas, and volunteer information. Use the route that matches the request and read the station’s current instructions before sending anything. A schedule listing is evidence of programming, not an open invitation to send files to an individual host or to assume a response.

Keep a concise submission record: the official page checked, the route used, the date, the link or material sent, and any stated follow-up rule. Send only what the current route requests, avoid private information, and do not treat silence as acceptance. If you are looking for a specific show, identify it by the exact title from the Show List and ask the station to confirm the appropriate current route.
