Indie on this dial is mostly a evening format: 76 of the 185 shows here go out in the evening, 41 per cent of them, with 62 more in the afternoon. That is worth knowing before you write, because a host filling a evening slot is picking for a different room than a daytime one, and the show's own hour is the only clue most stations publish about it.
The deepest indie programming sits at KFAI in Minneapolis with 24, KNSJ in Descanso with 16, WLAS-LP in Auburndale with 12. Of the 68 stations carrying these shows, 46 are accepting music right now and 31 are freeform, meaning they lock no genre at all and a indie record is as welcome as anything else. Among the same stations, 5 state a clean-edit rule, 5 ask for lossless audio, 2 weigh local artists, so read the row before you send.
Every show below was read off that station's own published schedule. Where a station publishes no genre for a show, it is not on this page: guessing what a programme plays is how a record reaches the wrong room.

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 →
