In order to guarantee your program is broadcast properly, please adhere to the 12pm Noon Submission Deadline one business day before your program airs. If your program plays over the weekend or Monday morning, please submit it by 12pm Friday.
Deadlines are meant to help keep the station running smoothly and help give Operations Department Staff time to address incomplete uploads, audio and technical issues.
Any program submitted after the deadline is not guaranteed to air during your scheduled time slot.
