What to send WTJU
Post it, don't email it. WTJU 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. WTJU is FCC-bound during the day like nearly every station on this list, and a clean version simply gets played more often.
They ask for lossless audio. Export a WAV or FLAC from the master rather than bouncing an MP3, and keep about a decibel of headroom so broadcast processing has room to work.
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.

Streaming links are for review only, not for the library. Wait at least eight days before following up..

What kind of music does WTJU play?
WTJU programmes classical, jazz, blues, rock, r&b, hip-hop, folk, world, gospel, electronic. Sending an off-format record is the most common wasted submission, so check the fit before you send.

Where is WTJU 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 →
