WOBC Fall 2010 Application

Application due 11:59 PM on September 17th

The schedule will be posted by 12 PM on September 17th

The all station meeting will be 9:00 PM at West Lecture Hall

To all applicants:
Thank you for checking out the WOBC application!
Diversity is the key component of our programming philosophy. We want WOBC to bring the community music and ideas that are not found on the rest of the dial. We want WOBC to be a forum for ideas from all quarters, so we are on the lookout for public affairs shows. We aim to program under-represented genres that commercial radio does not offer. This includes jazz, independent hip-hop, electronic, folk, punk, blues, contemporary classical, experimental music, and world music. We program rock and pop, but this is the most competitive genre. Please do not be discouraged from submitting a pop application, but keep this in mind. Feel free to submit more than one application if you have more than one show idea. What we also are looking for is a cohesive idea and attitude, shows that will work consistently throughout a semester. We want our listeners to tune in and know what they can expect, even if what they are expecting is to be surprised.

Put lots of thought into your application!

We read every application carefully, and we try to treat the application as if it were the only thing we know about you.
Take your application and playlist seriously! Someone who cares just as much as you do about the music you want to play will read your application. Your playlist is the prime thing we look at when reviewing your application. It should have a cohesive idea that holds the show together. This is not to restrict your creative urges, but to avoid schizophrenia. Yes we look for talent, but we also look for hard work and commitment.
We encourage unique ideas. Please use as many words as you want to explain your show.
Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns about your application.

If you get a show, you are expected to stick to the format on your application.

Please enter all of the information for all of the DJs on your show. If you omit a T-number, that person will not have access to WOBC.

When do you think your show fits best? Please give a number of specific times that you would like to have your show. Also, let us know what your general preference is.


How long should your show be? The default show length is 2 hours, but certain genres are better suited to different lengths. For example, a punk or talk show may be better at 1 hour. A classical show might run 3 hours.


Please write a sample 1-3 hour (depending on your show-length preference) playlist in the space below. For talk show hosts, describe your talk show. Please remember the FCC rules regarding profanity and those 7 dirty words. (You can't use them!)
