kid DJ

Do you have a child who really wants to be on the radio? Well, here’s their chance!

WZPL (99.5) radio offers a special program called “Hey mom, I’m on WZPL” where kids are invited to be a DJ for a day. I thought I would check it out when my 11 year old boy, Johnny, wanted to give it a try.

We arrived at WZPL (9245 Meridian street)in the afternoon and were greeted by “Hunter” who took us to a studio.

Johnny recorded several lines with Hunter, saying things such as “You’re listening to 99.5 WZPL” or “You can be a DJ too, just go to the website at WZPL.com.”

Johnny, who decided his on air name would be “Johnny-be-good,” recorded lines for about 30 minutes then Hunter told him to say something on his own.

“Johnny-be-good” gave a shout out to some of his school buddies and then delivered a messge to “Smiley”— the morning DJ at WZPL— saying that he would soon be taking his job! So, how did Johnny enjoy his DJ experience?

“It was a little scary when they first turn the microphone on,” says Johnny-be-good. “But, once you get going, it was really fun!”

The recordings air Saturday mornings from 6 to 10 a.m. on WZPL. IF you have a child that thinks they have what it takes to be a DJ, sign them up! Kids receive coupons from Moe’s Southwest grill. You can get more information at www.WZPL.com.
