MainFM encourages programming that reflects our community interests. We aim to encourage direct participation in programming by community members including individuals and interest groups.

MainFM seeks applicants with innovative ideas for programs that are described in our Program and Music Policies. These are available at: http://mainfm.net/

The Program Committee will accept proposals at any time and allocates air time according to availability of suitable time slots on the program grid. It will review the information you provide as the first step. Preference will be given to paid up members of MainFM. (Information about becoming a member can be found here: http://mainfm.net/membership/)

Please answer the questions in the below form with as much detail as possible to give the committee a full picture of what your show would sound like. If your show goes to air this form will be filed at the station for reference.
