Posted rules / notesEmail [contact on your sheet]. No submissions page is posted. The station's own site publishes [contact on your sheet] and [phone on your sheet] as its contact, invites programming ideas ("Have an idea for a program? We want to help you make it a reality!"), and airs local-music programmes Local Musicians' Spotlight, Music from Here and 406 Creatives. Phone: [phone on your sheet].

What to send KGVM

  1. KGVM 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.
  2. Send the clean edit if you have one. KGVM is FCC-bound during the day like nearly every station on this list, and a clean version simply gets played more often.
  3. WAV is safest, 320 kbps MP3 is the floor. Anything below that gets noticed quickly on a broadcast chain.
  4. KGVM 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.
  5. 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.

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 →
