WMUK · 102.1 FM
WMUK 102.1 FM · Kalamazoo, MI · College
How they take music → Email · No submissions page posted. WMUK is Western Michigan University's own full-power NPR member station and it originates its own programming, so it is not a relay of anything. News and talk carries the daytime schedule, jazz runs overnight, and an HD2 service carries classical. The music programme an artist can actually aim at is Grassroots, two hours of acoustic music presented by Mark Sahlgren and Darcy Wilkin, centred on bluegrass and traditional American songs and also covering contemporary singer-songwriters and instrumentalists. The show's own page on the station site publishes grassrootsinfo (at) [link on your sheet] as the contact for the show. That is a role address on the station's own domain attached to a music show, not a personal inbox and not a staff directory listing, but the station does not anywhere state it as the route for sending music, which is why this is likely rather than open. Address it to the Grassroots hosts and say what the record is. Nothing on either page restricts who may send.

Counted from the 32 Michigan 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, 74 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 →
