| − | '''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.
| |
| − | #Application submission and demo to the 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 and programming training.
| |
| − | #Final technical training and contract.
| |
| − | #Practice/test sessions to ensure readiness.
| |
| − | #Contract returned, preparation to sub for other hosts.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Considering the schedule availability for training and approval by a committee that meets once a month, it is safe to say that this process can take about three months to complete. We can often use people for subbing within a few weeks of training completion, unless the hosts specialty is very focused on a single music genre. Getting a show could take as little as a few months, or as long as a few years.
