Shows on WUNC
WUNC 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 WUNC
WUNC 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. WUNC 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.
Name the show, not the station. WUNC routes music to specific programmes, so say which programme your record is for in the subject line and send it to the address the station publishes. A general submission goes nowhere here.
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.
WUNC submission questions
Does WUNC accept music from independent artists?
Yes. WUNC is currently accepting submissions from independent artists, verified against the station's own published information in September 2026.
How do you submit music to WUNC?
Email. The station's own posted guidance is: Send music CDs to Back Porch Music, WUNC, [address on your sheet], Chapel Hill, or email [contact on your sheet]; the route is the folk and acoustic show, not a station-wide music desk.. 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 WUNC play?
WUNC programmes folk, blues, country. Sending an off-format record is the most common wasted submission, so check the fit before you send.
Where is WUNC located?
WUNC broadcasts on 91.5 FM from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. 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 →
