How they take musicMail
Posted rules / notesFreeform college station, all genres, Case Western Reserve University. No general submission page is posted, so mail the package to the station addressed to the Music Director. For their annual Studio-A-Rama live show they take at least 3 songs plus band lineup, bio, photo, website and contact info, by post or to [contact on your sheet], and links to Bandcamp or Facebook are not accepted as a valid electronic submission.
What to send WRUW
Post it, don't email it. WRUW 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. WRUW 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.
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.

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 →
