'Burg Training
88.1 The 'Burg, Central Washington University's award-winning radio station, encourages students from all majors and backgrounds to get involved. Whether you are interested in hosting your own radio show or if you're part of a campus club/organization and want to host a group show, you are welcome to join. Bring some ideas or music preferences, and we'll provide all of the training you need to get started. No prior experience necessary. If you have questions, please email our student training team at kcwu_td@cwu.edu. Looking forward to seeing you around the station!
Shows with special requirements could be modified to meet your needs.
Trainings will be recorded and available to off site trainees as reference resources.
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.
Step Three: Practice Shows
(Homework Prior) 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.
Shows will air live on Burg 2, our online-only streaming station. Tell your friends and family to tune in!
Most DJs host at least two practice shows:
First show has help from trainer.
Second show is solo, but trainer will be available.
Step Four: Air Check & Next Steps
The General Manager 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 GM to improve your content and delivery.
2. Show passes the air check. GM will schedule a meeting to finalize the details about your show.
