Music Director

The main job of the music director is to constantly provide new music for the DJs to be exposed to and spin. This is achieved by the following tasks:

1. Initiating and/or Maintaining Contact with Record Labels and Promotion Labels

The station relies on a steady flow of CDs given to us for free by record labels and distributors. In order for us to have an updated library of CDs, it is integral to keep in contact with these people. Each music director is assigned to one or two contacts and is responsible for calling or emailing them. The music director should also not hesitate to do some research and contact more record labels and or promotion labels. This will allow us to get some more CDs from genres that are not represented so well in the station. Sometimes, there are CDs in the top rank of the CMJ charts and we do not get them. It is the most desirable to contact the label and try to get a promotional copy.

2. Sending charts to CMJ

No label or distributor is going to send the station CDs if we don't chart them on CMJ. Charting closes on Tuesdays at 2pm. The music director must tally up which heavy rotation CDs are played the most and send them to the Radio 200 charts on CMJ. The music director is also responsible to be up to date on when CDs go on adds and chart them on the Radio 200 Adds for that week.

3. Reviewing CDs

There is always material for the music director to listen to. The music director is responsible to listen to the CDs and determine whether it should go to the shit bin, the new music library, or heavy rotation. For the new music library, the music director is responsible for noting which tracks have profanity in them. In the heavy rotation, the music director must fill out the review sheet and write in the track names, recommended tracks, genre, recommended if you listen to, as well as noting profanity tracks. The heavy rotation should be replenished with new CDs frequently and old CDs must be phased out at appropriate times.

4. Cataloguing and Organizing the Library

All CDs that will go into the library (heavy rotation and new music) must be catalogued into the OrangeCD database. When the new music and heavy rotation CDs have gotten too old to chart, these must be put back into the library immediately. Make sure that the CD library is kept neat (as in no random CD cases scattered everywhere) and alphabetized.

To help out with some of the reviewing and organizing, music directors are encouraged to organize listening parties or library upkeep events to offer as service hours for DJs. This helps DJs get more involved with the radio station. The music director is expected to be relatively up to date on current college radio music and is always responsible to find ways to encourage DJs to broadcast new music.
