133 stations here name indie / alternative in what they programme, and 31 more are freeform stations with a indie / alternative show already mapped on the schedule, which is proof rather than inference. 90 of the 164 are accepting music right now. The format skews college at 93 of them, and the depth is in California (30), Texas (15), Massachusetts (13).
Read the rules before you send. Among these 164 stations, 14 state a clean-edit rule, 13 ask for lossless audio, 5 weigh local artists, 19 still want physical media. Those are the rules each station published itself, and they are the difference between a submission that gets opened and one that gets binned unheard.
185 individual indie / alternative shows are mapped across these stations, each with the night and hour it airs, on the indie / alternative shows page. A further 622 stations lock no genre at all and would consider indie / alternative alongside anything else; they are listed once on the freeform page rather than repeated under every genre, because a station that plays everything is not evidence about any one sound.

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 →
