What to send WJAB
Post it, don't email it. WJAB 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.
Send the clean edit if you have one. WJAB 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.
As an HBCU station, WJAB carries programming and an audience that most submission lists never mention. Treat the relationship as long-term rather than one send.
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.
WJAB submission questions
Does WJAB accept music from independent artists?
Most likely. Everything WJAB publishes points to accepting independent submissions, but the station has not posted a formal submission page, so send with care.
How do you submit music to WJAB?
Mail. The station's own posted guidance is: Mail Music Coordinator [name on your sheet]; [phone on your sheet]. 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 WJAB play?
WJAB programmes jazz, gospel, world. Sending an off-format record is the most common wasted submission, so check the fit before you send.
Does WJAB accept digital submissions?
WJAB works from physical media. Plan on mailing a CD or vinyl rather than emailing a file.
Where is WJAB located?
WJAB broadcasts on 90.9 FM from Huntsville, Alabama. It is a hbcu 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 →
