HINSDALE SOUTH

 RADIO STATION

WHSD 88.5 FM

"So you had better do as you are told;

You’d better listen to the radio."

"Radio Radio"--Elvis Costello, 1978

Welcome to Hinsdale South’s radio station, WHSD, FM 88.5. The purpose of this manual is to introduce you to the station, to make you aware of your role in the station, and to start you on the road to becoming trained in radio broadcasting.

            The first thing to understand is the responsibility you have when you become part of WHSD. Participation in the station is not a right; it is a privilege that you must earn and maintain. While the rules and procedures aren’t extensive or overly restrictive, they must be followed carefully, or you will find yourself a broadcaster without a station very quickly.

Step one is to read the entire manual for fledgling DJs.  The table of contents is listed at the left.  Once you have read this manual, you will be ready to begin the seven assignments that are required of all DJs.  Complete those seven assignments, and you will start getting scheduled on WHSD, 88.5 FM.
