Posted rules / notesSend a.WAV file of your track through the form on the music submissions page, which goes straight to the Music Director, or mail a CD to the station. All submissions must follow FCC guidelines: nothing obscene, explicit or profane.

What to send KCSS

  1. Use their form, not their inbox. KCSS routes submissions through a submission form, and anything that arrives another way tends to sit unread. Fill in every field, including the ones that feel optional.
  2. A clean edit is not optional here. KCSS states it plainly, and without one your record can't air in daytime hours no matter how good it is.
  3. They ask for lossless audio. Export a WAV or FLAC from the master rather than bouncing an MP3, and keep about a decibel of headroom so broadcast processing has room to work.
  4. 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.

KCSS submission questions

Does KCSS accept music from independent artists?

Yes. KCSS is currently accepting submissions from independent artists, verified against the station's own published information in September 2026.

How do you submit music to KCSS?

Web form. The station's own posted guidance is: Send a.WAV file of your track through the form on the music submissions page, which goes straight to the Music Director, or mail a CD to the station. All submissions must follow FCC guidelines: nothing obscene, explicit or profane.. 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 KCSS play?

KCSS is freeform, so it programmes across genres and routes music to individual shows rather than one central playlist.

Does KCSS require a clean version?

Yes. KCSS specifies clean or FCC-compliant audio, so an explicit-only record will not get daytime airplay here.

Where is KCSS located?

KCSS broadcasts on 91.9 FM from Turlock, California. It is a college station.

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 →
