Music Director

Steers the sound of the station by curating its music. Decides what plays, when, and why it feels right.

Responsibilities

  • Curates and schedules all music, playlists, ads, and shows — from Yukon favourites to new discoveries across genres
  • Balances the vibe across the week — mornings, evenings, overnight, weekends, all of it — to suit the time and tone, not just algorithm soup
  • Guides the station identity with one key question: “Does this feel like CJUC?”
  • Ensures CanCon and station policy quotas are met without sounding like punishment
  • Helps shape new show ideas and wrangles the overall programming puzzle
  • Explores cross-promotion across shows to build station unity and coherence on a minimalist budget
  • Flags weird glitches, squashes rogue PSAs, fixes vibe crimes, and quietly keeps things coherent

Focus: Consistent playlists, smart scheduling, and a cohesive station sound
