Shows on KMFA
KMFA 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 KMFA
KMFA 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. KMFA 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.
KMFA 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.
KMFA submission questions
Does KMFA accept music from independent artists?
Most likely. Everything KMFA 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 KMFA?
Email. The station's own posted guidance is: No submission page is posted. [contact on your sheet] is the address their own contact page gives for programming questions. Independent public classical station, mail to [address on your sheet], Austin.. 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 KMFA play?
KMFA programmes classical. Sending an off-format record is the most common wasted submission, so check the fit before you send.
Where is KMFA located?
KMFA broadcasts on 89.5 FM from Austin, Texas. 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 →
