VII. DJ PROGRAMMER RESPONSIBILITIES (Quick and dirty do's and don'ts)
A programmerʹs responsibilities do not end after his or her show. The following is an important list of
doʹs and donʹts that all volunteers are expected to follow as members and programmers.
Facilities:
Respect the shared community nature of the WSCA Facilities. Keep it Neat, Pick Up After
Yourself. Leave the station cleaner and neater than when you found it – this applies to both the
studio and the station as a whole. If you use or move something, please put it back in the proper
location.
All DJs must refile CDs immediately upon finishing their show. CDs are filed by music genre
and then alphabetically. Improper and sloppy filing of CDs makes it very difficult for a DJ to
find CDs.
All DJs are responsible for assisting with cleaning the studio once every 7 weeks. Plan on
setting aside 15 minutes before or after your show to complete one of the posted cleaning tasks
on the schedule.
Station Equipment:
Please treat all station equipment better than if it were yours! This is community property and we all rely
upon it functioning properly. Specifically, if you need to make changes to the board settings or
connections in the course of your show, return everything to its normal position when the show is
complete.
Equipment malfunctions:
If a piece of equipment is malfunctioning, describe the problem in detail in writing and leave the note in
the Engineering mailbox. Also place a copy or similar note in the GM mailbox. If no one is notified of the
problem, it can’t be fixed. If it is a major equipment problem, call Eric Pearce or the GM as appropriate.
Taking phone calls:
If while at the studio you receive a phone call for someone and need to take a message, make sure to get
all the necessary details and place the message in the appropriate DJ or volunteer mailbox. If there isn’t a
mailbox, post the message prominently, possibly by tacking it to the office door or attempt to contact the
person to pass the message on.
Making phone calls:
The studio phones are not for personal use beyond brief local phone calls. Long distance or toll calls
should only be for business purposes or for phone interviews during public affairs shows. If it appears
personal long distance or toll calls are being made, the service will be restricted which will create
significant hardship for those who have legitimate purposes for long distance phone calls.
Pets:
No Pets Allowed in the WSCA facilities. To avoid allergic reactions to those sensitive to pet dander,
please wear clean pet‐hair‐free / dander free clothing in the studio.
Closing the studio:
The security of the station facilities is the responsibility of all who use them. Never leave the station
unlocked. If you are the last one to leave the station, the facility must be properly secured. That means
