How to Submit Music to Syndicated Radio Shows
A syndicated radio show is produced once and aired on many stations. One placement can reach listeners in many cities, which makes these shows worth pitching carefully.
Find syndicated shows in your genre
Many genres have weekly syndicated programs focused on new or independent music. Look at the show's website to see who produces it and how it accepts music.
Pitch the producer
Syndicated shows are usually run by a small team. Send a short, personal note to the producer or host with one song and a streaming link.
Be broadcast ready
Your file needs to be mastered and clean, with accurate credits, because the show airs on many stations with different rules.
Show the audience you already have
Mention your radio plays, streaming numbers and shows. Weekly Independent Radio FM airplay and DJ reviews can help show you are an active artist.
