| Every station in Ohio that takes independent music, and how each one wants it |
Ohio,
door by door. |
This issue goes deep on one state. Ohio: 50 stations. 21 doors we have verified as open, and 25 more that take music by all signs without posting the door formally. Both are worth your time; the second kind just wants a careful send. |
21 verified open in OH | 25 likely, door unposted | 50 stations in OH | 9 open ones by email |

How Ohio wants it sent | 9 by email · attach the file, name the show if there is one, one send. | | 11 by form · the form is the door; the builder gives you the field answers. | | 0 by post · a disc and a one-sheet in an envelope, addressed to the music director. | | 3 favour local · if you are in Ohio, that is your first line. |
Radio 101 - Clean edit means broadcast-legal, not bleeped A station cannot air explicit language between 6am and 10pm, which is when almost all of their listening happens. Clean means a version that is legal to play in daylight. A bleep works, an instrumental drop works, a re-record works. What does not work is sending the explicit master and hoping. At least 21 of the 145 accepting stations state a clean-edit or FCC rule on their own page. Why one state at a time A station serves a place. Reading a whole state's doors together shows the pattern: who wants a form, who wants a disc, who names a show, who favours locals. Your sheet already sorts to your state; this is the same view for everyone. |
