WRFU "Radio Free Urbana" 104.5FM is a low power FM station.
WRFU's programming features an eclectic mix of talk and music chosen by volunteer members of WRFU. Each radio show is run by a collective.
We recently got a lovely email saying: " I'm a local musician. I'd like to thank you for your dedication to music and to the community! I hope you realize the healing that you do for our culture."

Do you want to have your own radio show?
Write up a proposal. You'd write up something about the purpose of the show, who would do it, a show title, how long you'd like the show to be (an hour is common, though shows run from half an hour to two hours), whether you'd intend to do shows live vs. pre-recorded (either is possible), things like that.

Weekday daytimes are pretty much wide open. Weekday early evenings (5pm-8pm) are fairly busy but have some open slots. On weekend days, there's a 1:00-2:00pm Saturday show ("Union Edge") which hasn't happened in a while, so you could probably take that.
You'd need to be an IMC member ($50 per year, $25 low income) and also a WRFU member (an additional $25/year, though if that's a hardship then something might be worked out).
Bring the proposal to the next WRFU meeting or send the proposal to wrfumanager@ucimc.org
Once your show is approved, you will be trained by the WRFU volunteers.
