What to send WLOY
WLOY 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.
A clean edit is not optional here. WLOY states it plainly, and without one your record can't air in daytime hours no matter how good it is.
WAV is safest, 320 kbps MP3 is the floor. Anything below that gets noticed quickly on a broadcast chain.
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.
WLOY submission questions
Does WLOY accept music from independent artists?
Yes. WLOY is currently accepting submissions from independent artists, verified against the station's own published information in September 2026.
How do you submit music to WLOY?
Email. The station's own posted guidance is: Email the music team direct. Physical welcome, especially vinyl, or a download link. Flag any FCC language issues. They also do interviews and a guest DJ slot.. 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 WLOY play?
WLOY programmes indie, rock. Sending an off-format record is the most common wasted submission, so check the fit before you send.
Does WLOY require a clean version?
Yes. WLOY specifies clean or FCC-compliant audio, so an explicit-only record will not get daytime airplay here.
Where is WLOY located?
WLOY from Baltimore, Maryland. It is a college 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 →
