Radio outreach with a visible trail
Build a radio plan around the stations that fit
Independent artists can move from song analysis to station-ready outreach without hiding the regional, format, and approval decisions that make radio promotion practical.

The work in view
Radio outreach needs more than a generic contact list
Station format and regional context matter, and results are only useful when they feed the next decision. Treat each pitch as a trackable opportunity, from research through response.
Workflow
Three moves, with the artist in the loop
- 01LOAD-IN
Complete song analysis
Establish the signals that help describe the track before choosing radio targets.
- 02SOUNDCHECK
Match station format, genre, mood, and region
Use station research to narrow the route to audiences the song is prepared to meet.
- 03SHOWTIME
Approve the pitch and record added, played, or no-response outcomes
Review the station-ready draft, approve it, and keep the result visible for future recommendations.

Buyer questions
What to expect in practice
What does radio promotion prepare?
It organizes station research, matches the song to formats and regions, and prepares station-ready pitches.
What still needs a person?
You review and approve outreach before it sends, then record the response or airplay result.
Which plan fits radio promotion?
Indie fits one artist working through station outreach; Pro fits an independent artist or band coordinating more ongoing work.
