A Note About Qualifications
We're extremely excited to have received so many applications from groups all over Metro Detroit to be part of WDET's Star Program. Thanks to everyone who has taken the time out of their day to fill out the app and give us feedback on what you've heard so far on air. There are a couple things I'd like to make a bit clearer for those wishing to apply:
1- Right now, WDET is only considering 501C-3 non-profits who are actively engaged in the arts, whether that's theater, a gallery, an arts-education center or group, a venue, or one of the many other categories which fall under arts and culture.
2-Applications for singular events are also not currently being considered. While there's an incredible amount of worthy music and art festivals during the summer/fall season, it's much too difficult to time our coverage of your event/ group with the date of the actual event. If you want to get the word out about it, try contacting the producers of the Craig Fahle Show at either cfshow@wdet.org or news@wdet.org.
Thanks again for your great work in the Detroit community and for making the beginnings of the Star Program a success here at WDET.
Teaming Your Organization’s Events with the Star Program
It would be beneficial to both your organization and WDET to attempt to coordinate important events with coverage on the station. In the second comment box on the Star application, please list the next 4-5 large events the organization is involved in. Thanks!
