What to send WHIP
Use their form, not their inbox. WHIP 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.
A clean edit is not optional here. WHIP states it plainly, and without one your record can't air in daytime hours no matter how good it is.
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.
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.
WHIP submission questions
Does WHIP accept music from independent artists?
Yes. WHIP is currently accepting submissions from independent artists, verified against the station's own published information in September 2026.
How do you submit music to WHIP?
Web form. The station's own posted guidance is: Form + email the MD. Lossless or MP3 320 preferred; no DRM; FCC-clean only. 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 WHIP play?
WHIP programmes indie, hip-hop, electronic, pop, rock, r&b, punk, metal, latin. Sending an off-format record is the most common wasted submission, so check the fit before you send.
Does WHIP require a clean version?
Yes. WHIP specifies clean or FCC-compliant audio, so an explicit-only record will not get daytime airplay here.
Where is WHIP located?
WHIP from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is a internet 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 →
