If its owned by clear channle there is going to be no free bees. you can a soild packege, bio,radio edit, and the whole 9 but if you dont have that couple thousand for your air time then hang it up.......


if its a college station, internet station, or Kfpa type of station them you have a a chance to get some play.


any spins is good spins but WE ALL want to get on the major stations and be heard, but as long as CBS/clear channel has a monopoly on it like it has had then you better come with no less then $2500 to get you advertising spot.


just my 2 cents
That's some game right there....

We have NEVER EVER PAID for air play. We knew early that we could not throw money with the majors. So we went out and made good and great relationships all over the country. This has been a great help for us. I have also pushed other artist to stations around the country and I was never asked to buy advertisement to start my record. If you have a dope record and a better story then you just need to tell the right people. It is not easy I know, and it is next to impossible but there are ways.

Coming soon "NONTRADIONAL RADIO PROMOTIONS" by G. Archer
