Reminders
Outreach contacts are always changing and being updated
The outreach messaging contacts are a tool given to you by the stations, please keep in mind that those contacts are always being updated and often changed. Always double check their genre preferences before sending an email to the station or host. If you have any questions about a specific station you can always find their website info in the Radio Stations tab on the main page.
CLEAN/CONTEXT NOT REQUIRED
Please always double check if your content is considered radio friendly. If you uploaded to the system from April to May 20th, please double check your upload. You can check this by going to “Releases” and clicking on the pencil icon to edit.
Checking that section means that your upload is radio-friendly and we recommend uploading both an explicit and radio-friendly version identifying each in the song title. If you see your upload is not doing as well as you think it should, please check if that section is checked off, otherwise some stations might not see it.
