How they take music → Email · No submission page is posted; [contact on your sheet] is the station's general address and [contact on your sheet] takes program feedback. Non-commercial Catholic station whose mission is to evangelize, educate, inform and inspire; the music is classical, American standards and oldies and most of it is syndicated, so the fit is narrow.
How they take music → Email · No submission page is posted. This is the station's own Contact WQTQ form on its site; the station also publishes [contact on your sheet] and [address on your sheet], Hartford.

Counted from the 3 Hartford 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 →
