#292 - How To Get In Contact With Radio
Social Media
Social networks are the place for promo for artists as well as for radio stations. It can be overwhelming for stations to handle the influx of messages they get from artists, fans, partners, and others. However, you can still try to send them a concise message asking for the contact info of the person in charge of the radio’s programming. If you want to take it even further, find an employee’s LinkedIn and send them a quick message over there. This is more professional than an Instagram DM, and still goes directly into their inbox.
Email
E-mail is the traditional way to send your music to radio stations. A clear and concise message that is pleasant to read will prompt curiosity. Write a solid pitch of your song and include links to your music and all streaming platform artist pages of yours.
Radio Station Websites
Some radio stations’ websites accept submissions, so look for a “contact” section you could send a message through. By doing so, it will be sent directly to the radio station’s programming department. From there, a radio programmer can review your message and decide whether or not to respond. Many radio stations now accept music submissions through their website or online submission services like SharePro, TuneCore, or ReverbNation.
Groover
The only way to be sure that your music will be heard and get feedback is by a platform that makes sure radio stations will listen to you and respond. The music promotion platform Groover allows you to contact radio stations that are adapted to your music style, with simple ways to filter by genre, country, or other parameters.
