| Apparently
our previous news got deleted, so here is a quick run down.
Please read this through before you stop us on campus and fire away
questions:
For the first time
ever, we are trying to put WJTB on your FM radio dial.
This is not something
that we can do overnight. No, it is not as easy as it sounds.
WJTB has never done
this before. We have never done this before. We don't
have a set date on when it will be ready. Plans are for the
end of October.
We will be doing
RealAudio (maybe Video) streaming regardless. MP3 streaming is
planned as well. We will announce when this feature is ready.
No, we don't know
what the frequency will be.
No, we cannot give
you a tour of the station right now. We're busy enough.
Sorry.
Yes you can be a DJ
if you do the following: apply to be a member, go through the
training, submit a demo tape, and follow the rules. You are not
guaranteed a time slot. You are required to do announcements
over the air including things like news, weather, sports, etc (so
yes, you will be required to talk during your time slot).
Our expected FM
coverage is roughly a 1 mile radius from the center of campus.
FCC laws prohibit us from going further.
You will be required
to follow our guidelines at all times. This includes proper
use of the station equipment and broadcast rules. Failure to
do so will result in immediate ejection from WJTB. No, this is
not a joke.
WJTB will be a
freeform station, meaning you can DJ any kind of music you like
(including doing just talk shows). All songs are to be
"radio ready" meaning no cursing, etc. Questionable
material must be approved by an Exec.
No, you can't stop by
and play with the equipment. Nor can you practice on the
equipment after hours. If you are not a WJTB member, you will
not get into the studio. At all. Live with it.
I hope that cleared
up some of the questions you might have about WJTB. We plan on
posting our full Operations Policy online as soon as it is
completed. This includes all the rules associated with
operating a public broadcast station.
Check back for future
News updates. Thank you for your interest in WJTB!
