WEFUNK is a weekly radio show held on Montreal's CKUT 90.3, McGill University's radio station since 1996 and online since 1999.[1][2][3] The show is usually very light on talk as both DJs Professor Groove and DJ Static play a symbiotic mix of Funk, Soul, R&B and Rap, both old and new.[4] The name of the radio show comes from the Parliament song "P. Funk (Wants To Get Funked Up)", in which WEFUNK is a fictional radio station broadcasting "directly from the Mothership, top of the Chocolate Milky Way, 500,000 kilowatts of P Funk-power."
WEFUNK expanded to include its own Internet radio stream in 1999, becoming one of the oldest continuously operating radio streams on the Internet, as well as one of the longest-running online radio shows. Since 2001, Apple has featured WEFUNK in its iTunes radio directory,[5] introducing the show to a large worldwide audience.[6]
