All applications are due NO LATER than TUESDAY September 21st at 7pm. We will be accepting NO LATE applications. Paper applications are due either at the campus center info desk or at the WMCN station door.
PLEASE NOTE: This semester, we will be getting rid of our vertical programming and instating horizontal programming in its place. WMCN has chosen to make this alteration in the interest of increasing consistency in our broadcasting and allowing for those interested in specific genres to broadcast during set periods of time every single day of the week. Therefore, with the exceptions of weekends which may prove to be more flexible in scheduling, WMCN is going to attempt to place each DJ interested in a specific genre inside of specific time-blocks that will go as follows:
MONDAY-FRIDAY: 8am - 9am - AMERICANA 9am - 10am - NEWS 10am - 11am - NEWS 11am - 12pm - NEWS 12pm - 1pm - WORLD 1pm - 2pm - WORLD 2pm - 3pm - WORLD 3pm - 4pm - ROCK 4pm - 6pm - ROCK 6pm - 8pm - ROCK 8pm - 10pm - ROCK 10pm - 12am - HIP-HOP 12am - 2am - RPM METAL
SATURDAY-SUNDAY: WILL VARY
DJs, keep in mind that this does not mean that your application will necessarily be denied if you are unable to fit into these time slots. Also, please note that if you find that your genre of broadcast does not fit into these categories, you ought not to be discouraged from applying for a show: if your idea for a show is feasible, there will be space made for you, too! If you have a specific reason for being unable to broadcast during these times please explain so at the BOTTOM of your application in the space provided. Slots for shows are negotiable and will be solidified upon receiving and reviewing ALL applications. That said, apply apply apply!!
Best of Luck and Much Love, The WMCN Staff

Your Show:
Name of your show:
Are you interested in doing a 2 hour show? Genre/Theme of your show: Write a few lines for the WMCN Program Guide describing your show: [please try to keep it short, or we might have to cut something out]
Please give a cohesive description of your show. WMCN seeks a diverse set of programming, and like many college radio stations, WMCN does not limit itself to any particular genre[s]. However, REMEMBER "eclectic" is not a genre. The best shows exhibit a commitment to a form, as well as consistent artist selection and enthusiasm on the part of the DJ[s]. Please at least 20 artists you would regularly play. For a talk show please thoroughly discuss exactly what you'd like to do.
AVAILABILITY - Remember: more times can only improve your chance of getting a show. Be careful, if you select a time you can't do and get a show, we cannot change the entire schedule to accomodate you.

Check the box below if you are interested in becoming a sub, even if your show is not selected. This means that you will still have to attend the DJ meeting and go through DJ training, and if a slot is open (if the regular DJ can’t make it or is sick) you will have the opportunity to fill in. This is a great opportunity to get experience and be a trooper.
Yes, I would like to be a sub.
PLEASE READ
If your show is accepted, you will be informed by email on either Wednesday Sept 21st or Thursday Sept 22nd. In order to become a certified WMCN DJ, you MUST attend the DJ meeting which will take place Thursday Sept 22nd at 10pm. Plan for this now. Also, you MUST attend a training session (even if you are returning DJ) on either Friday Sept 23rd, Saturday Sept 24th, or Sunday Sept 25th. Failure to either attend the DJ meeting or to get trained will mean that you will lose your WMCN show.
You will be informed of your DJ training time when you hear if your show was accepted.
Availability for DJ training: Again, please put down the times you ARE available for DJ training. Failure to complete DJ training will result in the loss of your show. DJ training this semester will take a full hour, so please plan accordingly. Put an X in the boxes where you are available.

Any other questions or comments? Put 'em here:
I understand that in order to become a WMCN DJ, if accepted, I am required to attend the DJ meeting on THURSDAY September 22nd at 10pm.

I understand that in accordance with FCC regulations, WMCN permits no obscenity and nothing of an offensive nature to be broadcast over our signal.
