David Sears of WBGU-fm: World & Folk Music DJ

Radio station · United States
About

Bio and how they support artists

WBGU-FM (88.1; https://bgfalconmedia.com/) carries my World Music Show (Music from Everywhere but Here) and my Folk Music Show. Other WBGU DJs air Blues, Jazz, Indie Rock, Tejano, etc. My Folk Show also airs at later dates on KCIW (https://kciw.org/). I air tracks on the radio and report playlists to Folk DJ, NACC Radio Charts, and WBGU Facebook. With few exceptions, I do not play rock on my Folk Show, which is later rebroadcast on KCIW in Brookings, OR. For the World Music Show, with certain exceptions like reggae, I prefer not to play songs in English from places where English isn't native or official. So if you're in France, for example, please don't send a song in English unless 1) it's reggae or 2) you're from a country like Nigeria, India, South Africa, Philippines, where English is commonly spoken but not the majority first language. And I share music with the DJ of "Musics of the World" at WXUT, 88.3 in Toledo, Ohio.
