A History of WGSU
Random facts I learned while cleaning out a couple of drawers in the WGSU office:
- We used to have live shows 24 hours a day, and most shows were 3 hours long. Some DJs did not get shows and they were on a sub list.
- Things were a lot stricter: at some point DJs had to audition, and I even found a folder of rejected DJ applications. I also found a letter informing a DJ that he has lost his show for missing it once without getting a substitute. He was allowed to apply again for the next semester.
- The shrinking of the Top 22 show: It used to be Top 35 (back when shows were 3 hours long), then it became Top 30. And since we've been here it's been 22, then 12, then nothing.

You might be interested to know that a dj once lost a show for playing Kenny Rogers's "The Gambler" after being told not to play it.
We have a pre-recorded loop show that plays while there is no live DJ at the station. It is currently about 11 hours long, and we update it and change stuff around every so often.
DJs don't exactly audition, they just apply and go through training, and do a little "test" at the end of training, but it's not really an audition. It's just to show us they learned what they need to know.
Also, you might like to know that we are now back to having a top 12.
