WICN is a music radio station in Worcester, broadcasting jazz and other genres like bluegrass and world music. They have had issues with radio hosts using streaming services and relying on CDs for which the equipment is outdated. The goal of this Interactive Qualifying Project was to develop an interface that hosts could use to interact with a new database that would replace most CD and streaming usage. We surveyed radio hosts and other related employees at WICN and drew conclusions from what they needed to create a design and mockup of a user interface that was both simple and fully functional. We also investigated options for the station to use existing radio hosting software and made recommendations on how the station should proceed, creating the mockup and design of a new developed interface within a separate document and detailing the pros and cons of using commercial software.
