Delaware has 5 college, community and independent radio stations checked by hand. 2 publish a submission door you can use today, including WVUD in Newark, WXHL in Christiana, and 2 more take music by every sign we can check without posting a formal route. Each row shows what the station plays, its current status, and how it takes music; the exact submission contact and posted rules are on your Rotation sheet.
How they take music → Web form · Genre directors are listed by style and the page says email is the best way to reach them, since they do not generally keep office hours. Promotional CDs go to WVUD, Perkins Student Center, [address on your sheet], Newark and nowhere else: it is against station policy for a music contact to receive material at any other address
WXHL Reach Gospel Radio · Christiana, DE · Community
How they take music → Email · Contact page carries a Music Submissions section naming the music director; urban gospel and Christian programming only, no secular music.
Delaware Public Media (WDDE) · Dover, DE · Community
How they take music → Email · No submission page is posted; [contact on your sheet] is the station's own general address, listed on its Contact Us page for general inquiries, press and volunteering. Mostly NPR and BBC news and talk, but First State Mixtape runs two hours with host Wendy Rollins on Mondays at 9pm and Saturdays at 8pm playing latest releases, 80s new wave, early 90s alternative and 70s classic rock, and Arts Playlist features Delaware musicians. Mail goes to [address on your sheet], Dover,.
How they take music → Mail · No submission page, no form and no station email are posted, and the Make A Song Request page is empty, so the published route is the studio address on the station's own page. Mail a CD to WMPH 91.7, Mount Pleasant High School, [address on your sheet] Ext, Wilmington,, or call the studio on [phone on your sheet]. Student run station whose own format is "classic rock, alternative rock, R&B, pop, jazz and community-based", with student shows including Today's R&B Male, NeoSoul, Chill R&B, Dark R&B and JazzMix, plus Focus On Your Music weeknights at 6pm.
How they take music → See sheet · Real student run station but no door is published anywhere. The old station site [link on your sheet] no longer resolves, the Thomas McKean High School site has no radio page, and the only WMHS item on the district site is an FCC transfer of control notice. The one address on record is a named individual's in the FCC public file, so there is nothing to send to. Licensed to the Red Clay Consolidated School District, run by Thomas McKean High School students on a variety format with a student morning show from 8am to 9am and Delaware Public Media drive-time news.

Counted from the 5 Delaware 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 →
