Evergreen means the show is timeless and can be ready to air in any situation. The concept also applies to preparing the program for syndication, in which case some finer points are made on how KDHX is identified.
DJ/HOST NOTES:
- Every DJ should have at least one evergreen in the can for use in case of emergencies.
- An Evergreen show may air a second time, but no sooner than 6 months after the initial airing. If an show has aired twice, you are responsible for creating a new evergreen show.
- If it is possible to get a sub that can stick to the format of your show, or possible for Nick to find a sub for your show, that is always prefered over using a recorded show. They should really be for emergencies or if a number of shows will be missed in a short span of time.
Evergreen Show Requirements:
- Do not reference the date, time or even “morning”, “afternoon”, “tonight” etc. or weather.
- Do not mention upcoming concerts, events, current events etc.
- Do not mention that an album or song, or really anything, is new.
- Do not mention the show before or after yours.
- Although it’s difficult, do not mention the breaks! It may seem odd, but do not mention “after the break” or "after these words" or any reference to an upcoming spot that runs during your show in Wide Orbit. Replace mentioning the break by succinctly ID’ing yourself, the show and KDHX. There may not always be a break.
Evergreening for PRX Syndication:
- instead of "You're listening to Show Title to 88.1 KDHX," use "You're listening to Show Title, produced in the studios of KDHX in St. Louis."
