| 7 - 9 am | Emmet Bryan | A Carolina Jubilee | A celebration of Americana (and other) musicians from and related to the Old North State. Featuring acts such as Chatham County Line, Carolina Chocolate Drops, Doc Watson, and more! |

| 2 - 3:30 pm | RLRO Radio | Superhero Songs | We will be playing Superhero songs as well as dressing up in costume. |
| 3:30 - 5 pm | Allie Ahn | Myriad | Because I have the new music slot, I'll just continue introducing a random assortment of new music as well as with the classics. |
| 5 - 7 pm | Jazz and Such | The Third Stream - Is it Jazz or is it Classical or is it Memorex | Third Stream was coined in the late fifties for "semi-composed" musical form falling between the jazz and classical traditions. From Ellington's Suites and Stan Kenton charts to mid-twentieth century cool and avant big band compositions of Gunther Schuller (who coined the term) and Gil Evans to today's Downtown/Bang on a Can sounds, we'll explore the "serious music" side of these traditions. |
| 7 - 9 pm | $plit Crate$ Radio | Certified Bangers | DJ C.$harp will play a selection of his most certified bangers. |
| 9pm - Midnight | Laura | 2 Can Be as Good as 1 | You know how some albums warm you up with the first track and then the second track is straight FIRE?? Join me as I explore songs that are #2 on their track listings but #1 in my heart. |
| Tuesday | |||
| 12 - 2am | Heather Hawley | Songs for Moms | Songs artists wrote for/about their mothers |
| 2 - 4 am | Emmet Bryan | The Woovit Sampler | Ever wondered just how varied WUVT's catalog is? This show will be an extravaganza truly living up to the our mission of celebrating the diversity of music where every track played will be from a different section of the library! |
| 4 - 7 am | Cypress Beach | Catharsis | Sad songs to make you feel better. |
| 7 - 9 am | Calvin Long | Classic Gold | I will be playing #1 country hits from the 50s and 60s; anything fifty years old or older. |

| 12 - 2 pm | A1 Jake Sauce | Scholarly Songwriters and Educated Entertainers | I'll be playing musicians who have acquired a higher degree (primarily doctorates, but some masters degrees sprinkled in). I'll probably play two songs per artist to fill the time. |

| 5 - 7 pm | JB3 | Come C What You Can C in the Key of C | Radiothon + a little music theory = one great Tuesday evening. C major gets a bad rep. You C, it's the easiest key to play/compose in, but it's given us an endless C-ries of lovable tunes — some famous, some long-kept C-crets. Tune in for an aesthetically pleasing, steady flow of C-major C-mphonies. |
| 7 - 9 pm | DJ MC | Bagpipes and Banjos | Rock music featuring bagpipes and banjos. These are both core instruments in folk music from different cultures. Their sounds are naturally nostalgic, even when they are in non-traditional music. |
| 9pm - Midnight | The Monster of Love | The Return of GOTH PROM: A Radiothon Descent into the Inferno of Love | The Monster has been practicing the spiderweb dance for MONTHS. Put on your stompy boots and Gothic formal attire for a most diabolical and danceable evening of agony and ecstasy. |

| 12 - 2am | Sam A | Malltober 2007 | Where were you 10 years ago today? Possibly at the strip mall? Yes, very possibly. Let's take a trip back in time to 2007 when life was simple. When we went to Blockbuster for movies and Borders for books. I'll be serving up some fantastic mall music that you would have heard from the era as we travel through the foodcourt, try the cologne samples at J.C. Penny, feel the uncomfortable edginess of Hot Topic, and visit many more stores we used to know and love. |
| 2 - 4 am | Mox Nox | Talk To Me | Mox Nox plays tracks that have spoken word audio samples, either of the artists themselves or from other sources |
| 4 - 7 am | The Night Watch | Connections Between Songs | Each song is connected to the next one in some way |

| 9 am - Noon | Emmet & Josh | The Disorganized Disaster | Josh and Emmet couldn't agree on what to make their theme, so they decided to build two separate playlists and play them, song by song and one after the other, on the same show. There was no coordination. This will be a mess. |
| 12 - 2 pm | Jammin with Ginger | Video Killed the Radiothon Star 2: The Electric Boogaloo | Ginger Spice is back rockin the airwaves with all your favourite movie and tv show soundtracks, but this time there's something new: video game soundtracks! Come jammmmm |

| 3:30 - 5 pm | Katelyn Forbish | Verbing Nouns | Literally just a bunch of bands whose names are a gerund/verb and a noun, like the Rolling Stones, the Smashing Pumpkins, Flogging Molly, Counting Crows, Talking Heads, etc. |
| 5 - 7 pm | Ace Fever | Ace Fever's Mystery Secret Theme Show | The mystery theme won't be televised- it's on the radio! |
| 7 - 9 pm | Local Zone | RadioActive | Instead of a live musician on Local Zone, we are bringing in a live aerobic instructor that will be instructing us (and listeners at home) how to sweat in the coolest way possible. Will be live-streamed, so you can watch how out of shape we are while you listen to your favorite radio station!! |
| 9pm - Midnight | The Big Waste of Time | The Begathon XIX:Santo & Blue Demon vs. Dracula & The Wolfman (featuring the Nurse With Wound list) | It's time to destroy "The Don". He will beg for money for three hours while playing the weird, screwy avante-garde outsider music covered on the Nurse With Wound list. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nurse_with_Wound_list) This should surely mess with Don's brain. |
