Show Apps Are Open Again!

Application update as of summer 2026…

We are proud to have nearly 70 local shows on the airwaves. This means 75% of our schedule is full with locally made programs and that slots are limited.

We still welcome anyone to apply and pitch us a show. Landing a show still requires it to be a fit with our programming needs and values, and, now, if we can find a slot that works for you and the station. To be included in the next batch of applications, please apply by August 31.

All new shows are vetted by our Programming Committee. We prioritize shows that can help us build up our local news coverage, tell the stories of our community, provide listener interaction with call-in shows, and/or that captures the lives and experiences of our diverse community members. We are still accepting locally curated music shows, but they need to expand upon the music shows you currently already hear on the air.

Before you apply, please listen to what the station already sounds like and consider this as you apply! What could you add to the mix?

Here is the timeline for show application review for the rest of 2026:

• Open apps summer 2026

• Programming Committee Review in September

• New Programmer Training November & December

If you have questions about a doing a new show, feel free to reach out to Levi@WGDR.org our Program Manager.
