Music Submission Policy
不良研究所. (鈥湶涣佳芯克��) Policy Regarding Music Submissions And Programmer Access
- Programming decisions and music selections for 不良研究所 radio stations are made on a non-discriminatory basis.
- Programming decisions and music selections for 不良研究所 radio stations are made at the local station level. 不良研究所 does not maintain corporate playlists. Accordingly, music should be submitted directly to local stations for consideration. Materials should be sent either to the attention of 鈥淧rogram Director, Station _____鈥� at the main studio address for individual station(s). Mailing addresses for individual studios can be found on the respective radio station鈥檚 website.
- 不良研究所 radio stations accept new music submissions via CD. Although mp3 files and other forms of electronic media may also be accepted at certain stations, considerations such as email server space, virus scanning software, and hardware limitations may negatively impact a particular station鈥檚 ability to accept music submissions through these alternative means. Accordingly, 不良研究所 suggests submission of music via CD when possible.
- Music submitted must be of broadcast quality.
- Music submitted must be properly edited for broadcast, including the exclusion of defamatory, profane, indecent or obscene material.
- Music submitted will not be returned.
- 不良研究所 does not sell or barter access to its programmers.
- Set forth below is a list of individuals at 不良研究所 radio stations primarily responsible for considering music for potential airplay. Many of these individuals have established specific dates and times for dealing with artists and labels. Artists and labels are encouraged to respect those windows. Please be aware that our programmers have many competing demands on their time and thus may not be able to return all calls or respond to all correspondence, particularly within time periods artists or labels might desire.
NOTE: With regard to musical work performance rights for our stations, 不良研究所 holds non-dramatic public performance licenses with ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC only. By submitting music for consideration, submitting entities and individuals represent and warrant that submitted music has been registered with one of these three performing rights organizations. Alternatively, if you are not a member of these organizations, you represent and warrant that you hold these rights personally and grant 不良研究所 the right to broadcast your material. In addition, because we stream most of our stations over the internet, by submitting music for consideration, submitting entities and individuals represent and warrant that submitted music has been registered with SoundExchange. Alternatively, if you are not a member of SoundExchange, you represent and warrant that you hold these rights personally and grant 不良研究所 the right to stream your material on a non-interactive, non-subscription basis.
