need the clean edit. |
Of the 218 stations accepting independent music right now, at least 38 publish a clean-edit or FCC rule. Send the explicit version to any of them and it is not a maybe; it goes in the bin before anyone hears bar one, because a station cannot air it and cannot spend an afternoon editing it for you. That is 17% of the open doors closed by one missing file. |

The fix Cut the clean edit before you send anything. It is the single biggest unlock on the whole list, and it costs an afternoon. Radio 101 - WAV where they ask, MP3 320 everywhere else Keep the WAV master next to the MP3 and send whichever the station's page names. A 320 MP3 is genuinely fine at most stations. Sending the wrong one is a small thing that reads as a big one: it says you did not read the page, and the page is the only instruction you were given. 36 of the 218 ask for WAV or FLAC, and 3 will not take a streaming link at all. How this was counted Every figure here is computed from the registry at the moment this email is built, using the same tests as the report and every station page, so it cannot disagree with the site. Counts are "at least": a station that does not post a rule is not counted as having it. |
