RADIO RULES
• We request that everyone takes accountability of creating an inclusive, professional, non-competitive culture. We have a diverse team and this makes us stronger. We are one team all working towards making VDubRadio the best community radio station. There are no top slots or preferred DJs/presenters. We aim to give everyone opportunity to demonstrate their skills and a moment to shine!
• Health and Safety is our top priority. Non DJ(s)/presenter(s) are not permitted on stage at any time during roadshows/events. Only exception being people escorted by the DJ/presenter in a safe manner for official purposes, e.g; being interviewed.
• Only the performing DJ(s)/presenter(s) should be using the mic during live broadcast/at shows. Only with explicit permission of the DJ(s)/presenter performing, should other DJs/presenters use the mic.
• If asked to assist on a show, please keep your distance from all mics when other DJ’s/presenters are speaking on air. Background noise (people chatting) can be picked up on mics. Treat every mic as live!
• Backstage area at shows / Designated camping area - the only people permitted backstage / or allowed in our designated camping area at events are DJs/presenters and people authorised by the Station Management Team.
• Do not talk about politics, religion or anything else that may be offensive, divisive, ‘too close to the mark’ or non- inclusive whilst on air.

• No use of explicit content on daytime shows (up to 9pm UK). After 9pm, keep to a minimal. Regardless of time of day, if there is a cleaner version of a track always play the cleaner version- If it has the potential to cause offence, do not play it. If you are unsure please contact the Station Management Team.

Anyone behaving in a way that is deemed unprofessional by the Station Management Team or has the potential to bring the station into disrepute, will be removed from the station.
