How they take musicMail
Posted rules / notesMail a finished CD of a full album or EP with artwork, plus contact details, the town you are from and a short bio; suggest 2 to 3 FCC-clean tracks; no MP3s, and submissions are not returned. Aimed at Texas artists from Austin, San Antonio and surrounding communities.
What to send KTSN
Post it, don't email it. KTSN works from physical media, so a digital-only artist is stuck until there's something to put in an envelope. Send a clearly labelled CD with your name, the track title and a contact on the disc itself, not only on the sleeve.
A clean edit is not optional here. KTSN states it plainly, and without one your record can't air in daytime hours no matter how good it is.
WAV is safest, 320 kbps MP3 is the floor. Anything below that gets noticed quickly on a broadcast chain.
KTSN only takes music from artists in its own area. That is the station's own posted rule, so unless you are near Blowout this is one to skip rather than send blind.
KTSN 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.
KTSN submission questions
Does KTSN accept music from independent artists?
Yes. KTSN is currently accepting submissions from independent artists, verified against the station's own published information in September 2026.
How do you submit music to KTSN?
Mail. The station's own posted guidance is: Mail a finished CD of a full album or EP with artwork, plus contact details, the town you are from and a short bio; suggest 2 to 3 FCC-clean tracks; no MP3s, and submissions are not returned. Aimed at Texas artists from Austin, San Antonio and surrounding communities.. 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 KTSN play?
KTSN programmes country, folk, blues. Sending an off-format record is the most common wasted submission, so check the fit before you send.
Does KTSN require a clean version?
Yes. KTSN specifies clean or FCC-compliant audio, so an explicit-only record will not get daytime airplay here.
Does KTSN accept digital submissions?
KTSN works from physical media. Plan on mailing a CD or vinyl rather than emailing a file.
Can artists from outside the area submit to KTSN?
No. KTSN limits submissions to artists from its own area, so read the posted rule before you send.
Where is KTSN located?
KTSN broadcasts on 88.9 FM from Blowout, 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 →
