Come make some radio with us!

Our Programming Committee reviews applications about twice a year. If approved, show training takes about 4-8 weeks per show, depending on prior radio experience.

Application update as of 1/9/24: We just trained a new batch of folks for January, 2024 and they have helped us fill up 80% of our schedule with locally-made shows. This means there are now limited local slots for new programmers, mostly late nights, a handful of slots during middays on weekdays, and early mornings. Folks rotate off doing shows here and there, so we will start a "waiting list" for new programmers if a slot doesn't align with your schedule. We also encourage interested new programmers to join us as show subs or be involved in the station in other ways. This will move you "up the waiting" list when a slot that works for you opens up.

We have also shifted to focus on new shows in 2024 that are locally made by folks here in our listening area/Vermont. Shows must either be live at our studio (no experience required) or made remote, weekly. To do a remote show, you must have prior audio or radio experience. If you have questions, drop Llu@WGDR.org an email.

If this all is agreeable to you, go ahead and apply, we'll keep your application on file until the next round.

Application Overview

It takes about 10-15 minutes to fill out an application and asks you for a basic show idea, a bit about you, and a rough idea of availability for show times. Please note that show slot availability is dependent upon a variety of factors and we do our best to accommodate folks’ desires, needs, and our openings in the schedule. See the full application (as a PDF) here.

Our Programming Committee reviews the applications quarterly and training takes about 4-8 weeks per show, depending on prior radio experience.

We have a finite amount of space in our schedule, but invite anyone to apply from our listening area of Central Vermont and the Northeast Kingdom. No prior experience is required. If you were previously a programmer and left on good terms with the station, you are encouraged to apply as well.
