Athens has 5 stations checked by hand, and 1 of them are accepting independent submissions right now. That includes WUOG on 90.5 FM. If you are based in Athens, say so in the first line of your email: several stations here give weight to local artists, and it is the easiest advantage to claim. Each row shows what the station plays, whether it is accepting, and how it takes music. The exact submission contact and the rules it posts are on your Rotation sheet.
How they take music → Mail · Mail it, addressed to the Music Directors. A separate Local Music Directors address takes Georgia music. No email route is published.
How they take music → Email · No submission page is posted, [contact on your sheet] is the station's general address; local music shows include Athens 441, Just Folks, Music From High Cotton, New South Showcase and Sound of Athens.
How they take music → See sheet · Religious station run by Christian Pursuers' Radio, Inc. Programmes its own content rather than relaying a satellite network: the site's featured broadcast is Life Study of the Bible with Witness Lee, a 30-minute programme of excerpts from the Living Stream Ministry. Contact is a PO Box ([address on your sheet], Athens, ) and phone [phone on your sheet]. No submission page, no music address, and the site does not establish that the station plays music at all.
How they take music → See sheet · No submission route posted. Alternative rock LPFM licensed to The Athenian Multicultural Study Club. The station runs its own site with a Local Artists page featuring Athens musicians, but its contact page is unfinished and publishes no address, no form and no phone, so there is no route to point an artist at.
How they take music → See sheet · No submission route reachable. Community-oriented, non-commercial, non-profit LPFM serving Athens. Its web address [link on your sheet] is only a frameset pointing at [link on your sheet], and that site cannot be opened because its TLS certificate has expired, so nothing the station publishes about submissions could be read.

Counted from the 5 Athens stations on this page, from what each one publishes itself. It is the fastest way to read a market before you build anything for it: an envelope market and an inbox market ask different work of you.
Every door is on your sheet.
Pick your sound and region on Rotation and each of these stations shows its real submission contact and the exact rules it posts: clean edit, WAV, form or mail. Checked by hand and kept current. No station here paid to be listed.
A thin market is not a dead end. Radio is national and nothing about your sheet is limited to one state: 273 stations across the country have a door confirmed open right now, and a programmer two states away can play you exactly as easily as a local one. Radio is also not the only wall. The Doors is 100 verified places that are not radio, 43 of which can actually pay an artist. $9.99, and the radio side stays free either way. See what is in it →
