These are step-by-step instructions for pre-recording your show. Please also consider making this pre-record evergreen.

 Evergreen means the show is timeless and can be ready to air in any situation. 

 Every DJ should have an evergreen in the can for weather emergencies or other emergencies.
 
 An Evergreen show can air only one more time at least 6 months after the initial airing. 

FOR "EVERGREEN" SHOWS:

• 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 a break with ID’ing yourself, the show and KDHX.

Step by Step Instructions for your Pre-Record

1. Scheduling - Contact Nick (email) or via 314-881-8504 to reserve Air 2 or Prod 1 to record. We will preferably need at least two week ays after the session is recorded to have it automated into Wide Orbit. Particularly for the first time, we recommend reserving 3 hours in case of any problems, 4 hours for 3 hour shows. Please reference the KDHX Studio Reservations page to see current studio availability for Air 2 or Prod 1 before requesting available time.
