Step One: Show Development Session

You will meet with a student 'Burg staff member to talk about ideas for your show. If you don't have any ideas, we can help you!

 

Step Two: Tech Training

You will learn how to use all the tech needed to run your show including the studio console, automation system, and microphones.

​

After this training session: email elliottn1@cwu.edu to setup a Wide Orbit account (use your CWU email account)

 

Step Three: Practice Show Preparation

Get ready to host your first practice show by researching and writing content at home. Bring these notes and show outline to your Practice show.
 

Highly Encouraged: Talk to your trainer to schedule a sit-in during an active show. This allows you to meet other station members and see how they run their show

 

Step Four: Practice Shows

Most DJs host at least two practice shows on Training:

First show has help from trainer.

Second show is solo, but trainer will be available.

​

After the final practice show, email KCWU_PD@cwu.edu with the date & time of your show for an air check review.

 

Step Five: Air Check & Next Steps

The Program Director (KCWU_PD@cwu.edu) will review the content and provide notes. One of two possible outcomes:

1. An additional practice show is needed. This is normal. Use the feedback provided by the PD to improve your content and delivery.

2. Show passes the air check. PD will schedule a meeting to finalize the details about your show
