Host a show on KPSQ
Your idea. Your voice. On the air.
KPSQ gives people across Northwest Arkansas a place to share music, stories, conversations, and perspectives that deserve to be heard.
KPSQ hosts are volunteers • FCC preparation is required
Begin with the idea
Tell us what you want to put on the air.
The first step is a program proposal. It gives KPSQ a clear picture of your show, its format, and what you want listeners to hear.
Every prospective host also completes the station’s FCC and legal preparation before taking the quiz.

A clear idea makes a stronger proposal.
You do not need to have every detail solved. These questions can help you describe the show you want to make.
What is the show about?
Think about the music, stories, interviews, or conversations at the center of the program.
How will an episode sound?
Consider the structure, recurring segments, and the kind of experience you want to create.
Who do you hope to reach?
Tell us who the show is for and what you hope listeners will discover, feel, or understand.
Community radio takes a team
Hosting is one part of station life.
All KPSQ DJs are volunteers and help with the work needed to keep the station on the air. If hosting is not the right fit, there are many other ways to take part.
