Rock on this dial is mostly a evening format: 65 of the 115 shows here go out in the evening, 57 per cent of them, with 32 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 rock programming sits at WTJU in Charlottesville with 21, KVSC in St. Cloud with 10, KPRI in Pala with 9. Of the 42 stations carrying these shows, 26 are accepting music right now and 20 are freeform, meaning they lock no genre at all and a rock record is as welcome as anything else. Among the same stations, 4 state a clean-edit rule, 4 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.

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 →
