Operating a radio station involves more than playing music and talking on the air. While the
majority of the 175+ station members are DJs, many also perform other vital functions from
fixing broken electronics to organizing WOBC’s massive music collection.
APPLY FOR A RADIO SHOWJOIN THE STAFF
It takes a lot of dedicated people with many talents to keep WOBC running smoothly. WOBC is
always looking for people with a talent for design, publicity, journalism, electronics, computers,
and fund raising. It also takes a team of music librarians to keep our music collection organized
and accessible to DJs. Contact the General Manager, wobc@oberlin.edu, for more information
about joining our staff!
JOIN WOBC NEWS
If you have a passion for radio journalism, consider joining WOBC News. Our news department
produces local news segments that run at the top of every hour on WOBC. We are always
looking for reporters and producers. Training is provided in audio production and radio
journalism. Practicum in Journalism credit is available for Oberlin College Students. Contact
news@wobc.org.
JOIN A WORKGROUP
Workgroups are the way we get things done at WOBC. They are weekly meetings led by a staff
member where we process and organize music that WOBC receives according to quality and
genre. Every genre has its own workgroup, led by the genre director. To join a workgroup, send
an email to the Music Director, music@wobc.org, with a list of genres whose workgroups you
would be interested in joining. The Music Director will tell you when those workgroups meet
and put you in contact with the genre director. We also have workgroups focusing on
maintaining our vast music library and recording music.
