Are you an active lis­ten­er? Curi­ous about art, and the artists who make it? Some­one who likes to explore and dis­cuss what’s going on in Win­nipeg?

If you are, UMFM is look­ing for you!

Free Range Radio is one of UMFM’s flag­ship pro­grams, dat­ing all the way back to when the sta­tion returned to Winnipeg’s air­waves in 1998. Heard night­ly from 6:30 to 8pm, this vari­ety show fea­tures news, new music, live per­for­mances, inter­views, upcom­ing events and more. Each week­night a dif­fer­ent host takes their place behind the micro­phone, show­cas­ing the best this city has to offer listeners.

Our long­time Tues­day night host recent­ly relo­cat­ed and we’re look­ing for some­one new to take over the reins and we’re open­ing up appli­ca­tions to any inter­est­ed par­ties. Four final­ists will be select­ed by UMFM’s Pro­gram­ming Com­mit­tee and after going through the train­ing process, each final­ist will have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to host the show for one month. At the end of the tri­al peri­od, the Pro­gram­ming Com­mit­tee will review the per­for­mance of all the hosts and deter­mine who will take over as the per­ma­nent host of Free Range Radio Tues­day. The Pro­gram­ming Com­mit­tee will also be con­sid­er­ing feed­back from lis­ten­ers who can weigh in on UMFM’s Face­book page, and on Twit­ter using the hash­tag #umfm­lon­eranger

Inter­est­ed appli­cants are asked to send a one-page pro­pos­al telling us why they should be the new host, as well as details on what their first episode would include. Word or PDF doc­u­ments can be sent to UMFM’s Pro­gram Direc­tor, Michael Elves at michael@​umfm.​com before April 24, 2015.

The final­ists will be announced on Fri­day May 1st and the first broad­cast of the tri­al peri­od will air 6:30pm on Tues­day May 12th.
