Nashville has 6 stations checked by hand, and 3 of them are accepting independent submissions right now. That includes WXNA on 101.5 FM, WRFN on 107.1 FM, ASYLUMRN on Online. If you are based in Nashville, 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 → Email · The contact page carries a link headed "WANT TO BE HEARD? CLICK ME!" pointing at [contact on your sheet], with the instruction underneath: "Please attach any and all EPKs, MP3, or video links and if possible let us know if you are unsigned!" That is a role address published for music, separate from the three named people also listed on the page, who are the Program Director, Production and Marketing, and the General Manager. Those three are a staff directory and are not the music route.

Counted from the 6 Nashville 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, 14 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 →
