Training

WSUM is looking for people who are interested in becoming part of our radio station experience. We are particularly interested in freshmen and sophomores, however all students are invited to train.

WSUM is the student radio station at UW-Madison, operating at 91.7 FM and licensed to the University of Wisconsin. The station manager and all staff aside from the general manager and technical director are students.

We are going into our eighth year on the air and have already become one of the best free-form stations in the state, if not the country. Our goal is to be an alternative to commercial radio stations in Madison, so we are looking for DJs who are excited about playing underrepresented music and talk show hosts that want to inform the Madison community on pertinent issues. With your time and commitment, we can continue to maintain our position as one of the best free-format radio stations in the U.S.

In the Fall of 2008, we have 80 slots open for trainees. To be assured one of these slots, you MUST read and follow the requirements.
