Shows on KUCI
KUCI 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 KUCI
Use their form, not their inbox. KUCI 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. KUCI 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.
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.
KUCI submission questions
Does KUCI accept music from independent artists?
Yes. KUCI is currently accepting submissions from independent artists, verified against the station's own published information in September 2026.
How do you submit music to KUCI?
Web form. The station's own posted guidance is: Digital New Release form or mail CD/vinyl. 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 KUCI play?
KUCI is freeform, so it programmes across genres and routes music to individual shows rather than one central playlist.
Where is KUCI located?
KUCI broadcasts on 88.9 FM from Irvine, California. It is a college 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 →

No format, clean edit or geographic requirement is posted.
