To be clear - I'd have to pay *you* to be a DJ, rather than the other way around, yes?

You'd be joining Somerville Community Access Television and Boston Free Radio, which are non-profit organizations that rely in part on annual membership fees. BFR is a member-run Internet radio station -- there are no employees aside from a SCATV staff member who also serves as BFR Station Manager.

So yes, there's a $60 membership fee for the entire year ($20 if you're already a SCATV member) -- much cheaper than the $50 per HOUR of air time that other local Internet radio stations have charged.

That's still a weird feeling for me, since I'm used to either being paid, or donating my time to a station.

I do miss DJing, though. Argh.
