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. 4. Play listener requests and dedications.
	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 50 seconds. Extended content can be created and performed, but transmission of continuous content will be interrupted during Station Identification.

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. (More detail here)

Our Music licensing requires formal Play List reporting to be provided for all music, tracks, albums and snippets. (See here)
