We're always looking for volunteers, but there are some rules!
WMPF expects everyone who participates in or interacts with the organization to behave civilly, respectfully, and safely. This applies to employees, volunteers, callers, members, social media users, visitors, and the general public.This includes harassment, theft or misuse of station equipment. Unacceptable on-air or online conduct include using slurs, epithets, or derogatory jokes, personal threats and use of indecent language. Also unacceptable is any promotion of commercial event or business.
Disciplinary action may include suspension of access and privileges for varied lengths of time or permanent suspension when necessary. Management will determine when to take disciplinary action and management’s decision is final

In the event we are off the air for a day or portion thereof, we will extend acknowledgement time frame at the end of the period. Acknowledgements are considered donations and are not refundable, though you may request your acknowledgement be stopped at any time. Donations do not establish a contract for services, and do not imply editorial control of content.

F.C.C. Guidance on Underwriting Spots
F.C.C. Guidance on Underwriting Spots
"Although an LPFM licensee may broadcast underwriting announcements identifying entities that donate to the station by name, such announcements may not promote an entity’s businesses, products, or services. In addition, such announcements may not contain comparative or qualitative descriptions; price information (sales or discounts); calls to action; inducements to buy, sell, rent, or lease; and excessively detailed “menu listings” of services offered by the entity. The Commission has not adopted any quantitative guidelines on underwriting announcements, but it has found that the longer the announcement, the more likely it is to contain material that is inconsistent with their “identification only” purpose. At the same time, however, the Commission has acknowledged that it is at times difficult to distinguish between language that promotes versus that which merely identifies the underwriter. Consequently, the Commission expects that licensees exercise reasonable “good faith” judgment in this area and affords some latitude to the judgments of licensees who do so."
