What to send WHOV
Send a file, not a link. A WAV or 320 kbps MP3 attached (or a download link that opens the file directly). Music directors can't add a Spotify link to a playlist.
Have a clean edit ready. Most college and community stations are FCC-bound during the day; if there's no clean version, many won't play it at all.
Name the file so it can be found later: Artist - Song Title (Clean).
Include one page, not an EPK: who you are, where you're from, what the record is, one link, one contact.
Send it the way this station asks (below). If they name a show, send to the show. Follow up once, about two weeks later, and then let it go.
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. Free during the private beta for the first 50 artists. We never sell airplay.
