WGXC Program Application

WGXC’s Program Schedule will be relaunched in early 2013, to coincide with the second anniversary of our FM broadcast. Program applications are being actively solicited, from now until January 10th, 2013. No previous radio experience is necessary, and all ages are welcome to apply.

Click here to download the WGXC Program Application. Or email Katy [at] wgxc [dot] org for more information. You can also call 518 697 7400.

WGXC always accepts applications for new programs to ensure that our broadcast schedule is open to new ideas and community members. There are many ways to be on the air – you can be a guest music DJ on a rotating weekly slot, a host of a morning or afternoon show, or produce your own radio features and segments. And we’ll be sure to hold onto your application for openings in the regular Program Schedule.

WGXC Program Application Questions
SUNDAY - FRIDAY (6 A.M. - MIDNIGHT)

  • Your Name:
  • Contact information: address, phone, and email:
  • What type of radio show would you like to do?
  • How will you integrate the local community into the content of your show? Interviews? Recordings? Performances? Guests? Open calls? Regular callers? Regular features?
  • If your show proposal includes music, what type will you play? Are you able to mix several different genres? Will you play popular music as well as independent and obscure music? What is the strength of your CD/LP/MP3 collection? Will you incorporate local musicians in your show?
  • Are you familiar / comfortable with the technical aspects of acquiring digital music or using audio-editing programs? (Your answer to this question won’t impact the application process – we just want to know the various skills and interests of WGXC programmers.)
  • Programmers are required to volunteer for the radio station. How might you volunteer with WGXC?
  • What times, and days of the week are you available to do a show? Do you envision a weekly or a monthly show? Would you consider doing segments in the morning or afternoon drive-time shows?
  • If there isn’t space on the schedule for a regular show for you, are you interested in being one of a group of stand-by DJs who do shows on an irregular basis, often on Fridays?
  • Can you describe any other community groups or arts groups that you work with in Greene or Columbia counties? Any other associations we should know about, or past or current experience in radio you want to tell us about?
