Up next, another 33 and a 1/3rd Drop
The Drop offers a platform for sharing short segments of up to three minutes, 33 seconds or less on any secular and non-partisan topic of your choice. Your story, poem, or info tip can reach a wide audience. Drops are made available to on-air programmers to feature at their choosing. Join us in creating impactful mini-podcasts!
Why label these modules/mini-podcasts(?) “Up next, another 33 and a 3rd Drop?”
The title recognizes some key elements of playing recorded music from the not-so-distant past, the LP spinning at 33 and a 3rd, a 45 single coming in near 3 minutes 33 seconds and lastly, to play a LP you must “drop” the needle in the groove, “Up next, another 33 and a 3rd Drop” just works for setting the segment apart.
The Drops are made available to the programmer to use or not. They can be a helpful tool for the programmer who is trying to shift gears in a program. The shorter the segment, the more likely it’ll be featured. Each segment will be archived on WCUW with your accompanying info sheet that can be easily accessed by all on-air programmers.
Creators of Drops are encouraged to be members of WCUW and if needed, our studios are available for creating your Drops. Only secular and non-politically oriented Drops will be considered. The Drops must be FCC compliant.
