What to send WCSB
Use their form, not their inbox. WCSB 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. WCSB is FCC-bound during the day like nearly every station on this list, and a clean version simply gets played more often.
They ask for lossless audio. Export a WAV or FLAC from the master rather than bouncing an MP3, and keep about a decibel of headroom so broadcast processing has room to work.
Say where you're from in the first line. WCSB says it weighs artists from its own area more heavily, and being nearby is the single easiest advantage to claim if you have it.
WCSB 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.
WCSB submission questions
Does WCSB accept music from independent artists?
Yes. WCSB is currently accepting submissions from independent artists, verified against the station's own published information in September 2026.
How do you submit music to WCSB?
Web form. The station's own posted guidance is: Up to 3 songs, WAV preferred or MP3, plus 3 photos; local artists; accept the permission terms and e-sign the form. 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 WCSB play?
WCSB programmes jazz. Sending an off-format record is the most common wasted submission, so check the fit before you send.
Does WCSB favour local artists?
WCSB says it weighs artists from its own area more heavily. Anyone may still submit, so lead with where you are from if you are nearby.
Where is WCSB located?
WCSB broadcasts on 89.3 FM from Cleveland, Ohio. 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 →
