One of the most fun parts of radio is being able to DJ your own show. Since college stations are free from the binds that commercial stations have on programming, students have the freedom to produce their own shows and design their own playlists.

DJing and producing a show is something that takes some time and practice to do it smoothly. Depending on when a particular show is, it may be difficult to make a good playlist. There are typically several shows in one day, most of which could possible be in the same genre as your own. Sometimes a student may run across playing some of the same songs as a show that was on recently before them. It may be necessary to coordinate playlists from time to time.

The typical free-format of college stations lets students be as creative as they want when doing a show. Within their show, they have no restrictions on what to or what not to play. If they wish to, students can also mix up their show with as little or as much talking as they want.

Students need no experience in order to do their own radio show. With some time, it is easy to become accustomed to being on-air and doing a show. There are several things that make up doing a good show, including announcing, good playlists, and smoothness. It is very simple to learn this ins and outs of this and do a good show, so nearly any student who wants has the capability to do their own show.
