Topic: Radio airplay

	Music radio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Music radio is a radio format where music is the primary source of broadcast content on both commercial and non-commercial stations.
		Music radio, particularly top 40, has often acted as both a barometer and an arbiter of musical taste, and radio airplay is one of the defining measures of success in the mainstream musical world.
		The popularity of offshore pirate radio stations in the United Kingdom was an early symptom of frustration with the often overly safe and occasionally politicized playlists of commercial radio.

	Radio Airplay 101, Part I
		The biggest advantage of college radio is that it is the easiest and fastest way to get airplay, and with it, the comments, favorite tracks, interviews, and reports in CMJ and other magazines, all of which become great tools to market your band with.
		The biggest disadvantage of college radio is that college stations are very difficult for promoters to reach (by phone, when promoting to them), and they have a limited listenership (since they are non- commercial, and have no promotion budget).
		The toughest part about working your CD to college radio is that there are so many students running in and out of the station, and there are so many stations which need to be worked, that is becomes very difficult for the promoter to reach the stations.

	The First Move: A Content Analysis of National Radio Airplay and Sales Charts
		Radio airplay's claims of responsibility for music sales received the bulk of its academic research in the 1940s, when music radio was a new medium.
		Radio stations that programmed music continually, like WNYC in New York City, were seen as the exception rather than the rule and thus were able to keep a more mass audience.
		If the radio is playing a song that creates an emotional reaction within a listener, he or she could make the decision to purchase that song no matter how many times it has been played.

		It has been 19 months since Broadcast Data Systems (BDS) has had it's information used to compile the national airplay charts in Canada's music trade magazine The Record, yet there are many independent artists and record labels that don't know what BDS is or how it works.

		Along with the media, a note should be sent, letting them know what track is the single going to radio and to what format it should be loaded to.

	Radio Airplay
		Most radio stations have a set play list that is governed by the charts that, in turn, are governed by music heavyweights.
		Radio stations will shy away from those artists that listeners cannot walk into a store and buy.
		Trying to plead your case often takes multiple calls to a radio station and you should realize that you should shoot for small and medium size radio markets.

	Radio Airplay
		With so many radio stations streaming their music via the Internet and their own websites, we are no longer limited to listening to only the stations in our local area.
		Radio station personnel will pay more attention to someone who can demonstrate they really listen and actually know a little about where their requests are being made.
		But, if you speak up and tell the radio programmers who you want to hear, you are still encouraging the work of the artists and letting radioland know you are listening and paying attention.

		The radio portion is what this entire site is about; radio is the most complicated part of the music industry, and the most expensive part of the budget of a major record label.
		If you hire an independent radio promoter, they can also help a little with PR, gigs and retail, provided the airplay campaign is large enough.

		We are not asking for more airplay than any other regular/popular bands but request Bon Jovi receive the same amount of airplay as other popular bands receive on your Radio Station network because Bon Jovi are popular.

	Get Radio Stations to Play Your Music. Indie Bands, Musician Tips
		Note that servicing your music to a radio station, and promoting your music to a radio station, are not the same thing.
		If you are (or have) only one act, and if your intentions are to build a buzz to the point where you can "sign" with someone, then non-commercial radio is probably for you (genre permitting.) Non-commercial radio is very accepting of new acts, and these stations "report" their airplay to the trade magazines readily.
		This means that this radio station is going to get all these new listeners, and thus, is going to be paid more.

	RADIO AIRPLAY 101 - Commercial Airplay Myths - [Shareware Music Machine News]
		The majority of people in the U.S., however, listen to commercial regular-rotation radio, and on these stations, the DJs have no say at all in what is going to be played (unless, in the case of a smaller station, the DJ is also the PD).
		Every single song you hear (or every syndicated program you hear) on commercial regular-rotation radio is on that station because of layers of promotion and marketing.
		Smaller commercial regular-rotation stations in smaller markets won't make this too much of a sticking point, especially if you have a powerful radio campaign going, or if you are doing great gigs in their city, or if you have great college or specialty/mixshow results.

	Aleven Music Marketing & Design - Radio Reporting vs. Charting
		As you start doing more radio, you'll get more opportunity to choose between "reporting" and "non-reporting" stations, and also between "charting" and "non-charting" campaigns.
		A radio campaign is when you work a large group of similar stations at the same time, so as to create a "hit".
		So in terms of money, a charting campaign (say, for non-commercial radio) is going to cost about twice what a non-charting campaign would cost.
