What to send WLTL
Post it, don't email it. WLTL 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. WLTL 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.
WLTL is volunteer-run. The person reading your email is doing it for love of the music, so be brief, be human, and follow up once at most.
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.
WLTL submission questions
Does WLTL accept music from independent artists?
Most likely. Everything WLTL 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 WLTL?
Mail. The station's own posted guidance is: Mail releases; HS station. 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 WLTL play?
WLTL programmes indie, rock. Sending an off-format record is the most common wasted submission, so check the fit before you send.
Does WLTL accept digital submissions?
WLTL works from physical media. Plan on mailing a CD or vinyl rather than emailing a file.
Where is WLTL located?

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 →
