| − | '''This is an overview of the DJ/Host volunteer position.'''
| |
| | | | |
| − | KDHX DJs are the most public-facing representatives of the organization. For this reason, it is important to ensure that our DJs are well-trained as hosts and board operators for the station.
| |

| |
| − | ===Overview of the KDHX DJ/host training process:===
| |
| − | #KDHX Orientation class with Basic Audio Intro and membership
| |
| − | #Assemble and submit show script
| |
| − | #If approved: Demo production and basic technical overview training
| |
| − | #Submit Application and Demo to Program Director for review by Program Committee-'''We do not accept demos or air checks produced for other stations, or completed without KDHX guidance.'''
| |
| − | #If approved: Final host/programming training
| |
| − | #Final technical training and contract given
| |
| − | #Practice/test sessions to ensure readiness
| |
| − | #Contract returned; Ready to sub for other hosts
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Considering schedule availability for training and approval by a committee that meets once a month, it's safe to say this process can take about 3 months to complete. We can often get people subbing within a few weeks of completing training (unless their specialty is very focused on a single music genre). Getting a show could take as little as a few months, to as long as a few years.
