Favoriting
The Wednesday edition of Off the Hour is produced and hosted by the CKUT Community News Collective, a collective of volunteers who meet weekly to script and produce news coverage.

If you are interested in joining the News Collective, please email spokenword@ckut.ca

Off The Hour is CKUT's in-house daily corporate-free news program. It reflects our community because it is made by our community. CKUT’s spoken word programming features alternative news, public affairs and arts and culture shows. We cover Montreal and McGill goings-on, LGBTQIA+ culture, environmental and social justice issues, feminism, theatre, African and Latin America current affairs, and more.
