WMCN 91.7fm DJ Application :: Spring 2005

This online version of the spring DJ application is (like the print version) due by 7pm Tuesday, Febuary 1st.

Just a note: This semester, as many of you know, we will begin streaming WMCN on the web. This means a lot of great things for the station, and some changes. For this semester, we will be getting rid of the 2-4am slots so that we can have a smaller group of DJs. We are doing this in order to help maintain quality and to adjust to the heightened scrutiny that webcasting will bring us. This (obviously) means that there are less slots than usual, and the process will be somewhat more competitive. Please bear with us as we make these adjustments and work on increasing the quality of our programming.
That said, apply apply apply!! Love, WMCN staff

The deadline is final! No late submissions will be considered.

Your Show:

Name of your 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.

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 Tuesday Feb 1st or Wednesday Feb 2nd. In order to become a certified WMCN DJ, you must attend the DJ meeting which will take place Thursday February 3rd at 10pm. Also, you must attend a training session (even if you are returning DJ) on either Friday February 4th, Saturday February 5th, or Sunday February 6th. 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.
