Phish’s festival radio station The Bunny will return at Super Ball this weekend. The AM station WRCE 1490 will broadcast The Bunny locally while SIRIUS XM’s Jam_On channel will broadcast the festival nationally. In addition to all of Phish’s sets, The Bunny will feature an eclectic mix of music, festival reports, archival Phish audio and much more. The Bunny will begin broadcasting on WRCE at 8 AM on Thursday, June 30 and will continue through 8 AM on Monday, July 4. Sirius XM will start broadcasting Thursday at 3 PM and broadcast all the way through Monday morning.

The Bunny is also asking fans to submit their own station IDs. Here’s how to send you’s in:

For Superbollocks (phonetically speaking), we want YOU to submit your own homemade station IDs for The Bunny. For those of you not hip to radio lingo, station IDs are those short pre-recorded pieces which announce the official name of the station for FCC purposes. They largely fall into two stylistic categories: 1) overly enthusiastic a capella choirs or 2) deep, gravelly voices accompanied by laser & explosion sounds. Neither of these styles are required by law.

If YOU would like to submit a station ID for The Bunny, please read the following 5 guidelines carefully. If YOU would like to submit a station ID for The Bunny, please read the following 5 guidelines carefully. See what just happened there? I just wrote that twice to make sure you’re reading closely, because submissions that do not meet the following 5 guidelines will not be considered not be considered.

The Following 5 Guidelines:

1. They must somewhere include the following phrase verbatim: “The Bunny, broadcast on WRCE, Watkins Glen, on SiriusXM and online at livephish.com.”

_2. They must be no longer than 15 seconds. Shorter is better, shortest is bestest.)

3. They absolutely cannot break, bend, or even blithely approach the boundaries of FCC regulation with regard to obscenity. This is a family show we got here.

4. The sound files must be in MP3 format, 16-bit, 44.1 Khz, with a bit rate of 192.

5. They cannot, either directly or by implication, promote your business, band, Canadian yarn art, political party, house party or any other suchlike.

Now that we’re through with the nasty mellow-harshing DON’Ts, here are the lovely open-ended DO’s

1. DO make them awesome.

2. DO include music, sound effects, echo, lasers, explosions and all manner of audio tomfoolery.

3. DO feel free, if you so choose, to say who you are and where you’re from. Make Mom proud.

4. DO have fun with the fact that for the first festival ever, we’re broadcasting on an AM station. Carpenters! Bee Gees! Crazy talk radio! Many different ways to go with this.

5. DO email them to [email protected] ASAP.

6. DO know that while we treasure each and every submission, whether or not they are played is up to the completely fickle and indefensible whims of Bunny staff. If we receive 5 awesome IDs, we may play them all weekend. If we receive 200,000, we may play the aforementioned 5 all weekend. That’s how she goes.

Most of all, just know that we are superly excited to interface with you radiophonically and will be broadcasting directly from our hearts to yours.

Love, DJ Tad Cautious
