Hosting can be performed in these methods:

	1. Pre-recorded and unattended. 2. Pre-recorded with live Host/DJ commentary 3. Live presentation with dynamic content. Only you know what piece will play next.
	The station's preferred audio format is MP3. However, other formats may be utilized if necessary. The station Annex provides a functional recording studio with microphones, audio mixing panel and computer, if needed.
	"Radio Hour Definition"(PDF) A "Radio Hour" begins and ends with the hourly Station Identification announcement. The Station Identification announcement begins at the top of each hour and ends when the announcement is complete (in about ten (10) seconds). The "Radio Hour" for content is therefore about 59 minutes 58 seconds. Station Identification can be embedded in program content. Less than an hour or extended content can be created and performed.

Notes:
Shows performed on the broadcast station will be recorded during initial broadcast for on-air replay and Internet Radio broadcasts.

Shows can be solo performances, interviews and conversations, live from the broadcast studio or pre-recorded.

Music may be removed from program rebroadcast on the Internet.
