How they take musicEmail
Posted rules / notesNo submissions page and no music director named. The station's published address is [contact on your sheet], given on the homepage next to "click to email peggy", plus a contact form on the site, [address on your sheet], Gualala and [phone on your sheet]. The gmail is the station's own account rather than a private inbox, and it is the route the station offers.
What to send KGUA
Use their form, not their inbox. KGUA 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.
Send the clean edit if you have one. KGUA 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.
KGUA 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.
KGUA submission questions

The station's published address is [contact on your sheet], given on the homepage next to "click to email peggy", plus a contact form on the site, [address on your sheet], Gualala and [phone on your sheet]. The gmail is the station's own account rather than a private inbox, and it is the route the station offers.. The exact contact or form address is on your Rotation sheet, and you should confirm it on the station's page before sending.

Where is KGUA located?
KGUA broadcasts on 88.3 FM from Gualala, 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 →
