Last year, we went through the application process for the DJs and everything. That's probably why there weren't as many DJ applications this year, so almost everyone got a show. This year, WMCN has 70 DJs. Each DJ has one two-hour show per week. On Sept. 21, the music directors chose DJs in an anonymous process, based upon what kind of show they proposed to have.
Most shows are rock, but there are also techno, hip-hop, world and funk shows.
Being a DJ does not require any experience. And, if one is not chosen to be a DJ, there are other opportunities to help out around the station, such as with planning shows, substitute DJing and promoting. She is a DJ this year. The station is currently looking for a big all-ages venue where it can charge admission for concerts. The money is needed in order to pay for the cost of new equipment, including the new transmitter, and the dances and concerts the station holds.
