Work With Roothog Radio
Roothog Radio is always looking for people who share a passion for real country music — Honky Tonk, Texas/Red Dirt, Americana, Outlaw, and beyond. Based in North Texas and broadcasting since 2010, the station offers both paid and volunteer roles for folks who want to contribute to independent radio.
DJ & On-Air Roles
We occasionally have openings for DJs who know their Waylon from their Willie and can bring personality to the airwaves. A strong familiarity with the station's core genres is essential. Prior radio or podcast experience is a plus but not required — enthusiasm and a good ear count for a lot.
Staff & Behind-the-Scenes
Beyond the mic, there are opportunities in programming, music curation, social media, and station operations. If you have skills in audio production, web maintenance, or community outreach, we'd like to hear from you.
Volunteer
Volunteers help keep Roothog Radio running. Whether it's assisting with playlist management, helping at events, or spreading the word about the station, your time makes a difference. Volunteering is a great way to get involved in the independent country music community.
Interested? Reach out via the Contact page and tell us a bit about yourself and how you'd like to help.
