Shows on KBCZ
KBCZ programmes by show, so the programme your record suits matters more than the station as a whole. These are taken from the station's own published schedule. Name the show in your subject line rather than the station. Where a show takes music at its own address, it is marked below and the exact address is on your sheet.

What to send KBCZ
KBCZ takes music by email, which means your subject line is doing real work. Make it obvious what the message is before it's opened: genre, artist, track, and the word clean if it applies.
Send the clean edit if you have one. KBCZ is FCC-bound during the day like nearly every station on this list, and a clean version simply gets played more often.
WAV is safest, 320 kbps MP3 is the floor. Anything below that gets noticed quickly on a broadcast chain.
KBCZ is volunteer-run. The person reading your email is doing it for love of the music, so be brief, be human, and follow up once at most.
Then wait. Give it about two weeks, send one polite follow-up, and let it go after that. Music directors remember the artists who were easy to deal with.
KBCZ submission questions
Does KBCZ accept music from independent artists?
Most likely. Everything KBCZ publishes points to accepting independent submissions, but the station has not posted a formal submission page, so send with care.
How do you submit music to KBCZ?
Email. The station's own posted guidance is: No submission page is posted. [contact on your sheet] is the station's own general address, published in its contact block and offered as "email us directly", and it is a webmail address so it is not a bulk-send door.. The exact contact or form address is on your Rotation sheet, and you should confirm it on the station's page before sending.
What kind of music does KBCZ play?
KBCZ is freeform, so it programmes across genres and routes music to individual shows rather than one central playlist.
Where is KBCZ located?
KBCZ broadcasts on 89.3 FM from Boulder Creek, California. It is a community station.
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 →
