Shows on WJSU
WJSU 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 WJSU
WJSU takes music by email, which means your subject line is doing real work. Make it obvious what the message is before it's opened: genre, artist, track, and the word clean if it applies.
Send the clean edit if you have one. WJSU 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, WJSU 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.
WJSU submission questions
Does WJSU accept music from independent artists?
Yes. WJSU is currently accepting submissions from independent artists, verified against the station's own published information in September 2026.
How do you submit music to WJSU?
Email. The station's own posted guidance is: Address it to the Music Manager; the station publishes staff by role, not a music inbox. Music calls are taken Tuesdays 2-4pm CST on [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 WJSU play?
WJSU programmes jazz, r&b, gospel, latin, blues. Sending an off-format record is the most common wasted submission, so check the fit before you send.
Where is WJSU located?
WJSU broadcasts on 88.5 FM from Jackson, Mississippi. 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 →
