A History of Krak

KRAK was a citywide print publication started by staff at CFRM (pre-CKUT) which ran from 1986-1988 and gives a look into the scene which spawned the station that became CKUT.

We’ve been working on various archive projects at the station over the past few years, including some other CKUT-related print publications. Check out our collections of Statik issues and Program Guides.
