  • Im a musician, how can I get my music featured on air?

  • Im a local business, how can I advertise on air?

    The short answer is unfortunately, you cannot.

    The long answer is we instruct our DJs to stay away from promoting for-profit entities on-air. Our license as a non-commercial educational station makes it difficult (read as: usually illegal) for our DJs to read the announcements that are sent to us. In addition, we strive for original programming, and so with the exception of a few parameters (i.e. reading our Legal ID, following our rules, offering one public service announcement every hour, etc.), the Board does not instruct DJs on the direction or content of their shows.
