But it can be lonely. Full-time disk jockeys talk on the radio 5 or 6 days a week for about 4 hours at a time. However, their job takes more time than just that. Every day they must prepare for the radio show. Sometimes they write the commercials, too.
Most radio stations are on the air much of the day.
Some stations are on for 24 hours every day. Because of this, disk jockeys don't usually work regular hours. They often must start early or work late into the night. They also must get to work, even if the weather is very bad. Disk jockeys may also work outside the station.
