How they take music → Web form · Contact page says: to submit music, mail it to Tulane University #1527, [address on your sheet], New Orleans. For digital, it directs you to find your genre's music director on the staff page; every address there is JavaScript-protected
How they take music → Mail · Mail a finished CD to the Music Director with a cover letter; put the best cut first, number the cuts and clearly mark any profanity. They generally do not play mp3s, and a digital file should be.wav.

Counted from the 5 New Orleans 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, 2 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 →
