Los Angeles has 14 stations checked by hand, counting Long Beach, and 4 of them are accepting independent submissions right now. That includes KXSC on Online, KZKA-LP on 101.5 FM, KXLU on 88.9 FM. If you are based in Los Angeles, 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.

KGAP 96.7 FM-LP, M_A Architecture Radio · Los Angeles, CA · LPFM
How they take music → Email · No music submission route is posted. This is the general address of Materials and Applications, the nonprofit that holds the licence. The station publishes two curated audio issues a year and broadcasts six months of the year, so it is a curated art radio project rather than a rotation station.
KLBP 99.1 FM, Long Beach Public Radio · Long Beach, CA · LPFM
How they take music → Email · No submission page is posted for artists; [contact on your sheet] is the station's own Music Department address. The Submit a Show page is for programme proposals, not music, and says priority goes to shows local to Long Beach, San Pedro, Wilmington and the immediate surrounding communities.

Counted from the 14 Los Angeles 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. Across them, 117 individual shows are mapped from the stations' own published schedules, with the night and hour each one airs.
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.
Radio is the free half, and it stays that way. Every station here is free to reach and no station ever pays to be listed. The Doors is the other half: 100 verified places that are not radio, sync libraries, music supervisors, festivals, contests, live sessions and the music press, 43 of which can actually pay an artist. It also lists the 162 we opened and refused, with the reason each one failed, because most lists of this kind are stale and the rejections are the part nobody else will show you. $9.99, the 2026 Q3 edition →
