Radio Stations • record pressing related

I want to send out some promo copies of our latest releases to stations playing punk records. And I was thinking about how its a huge waste to randomly find college radio stations, that seemingly play good music and start sending out packages. And I'm not going to pay hundreds of dollars for some other persons contacts... so I was thinking about another approach. Maybe we could get a list going on here of good underground radio stations & radio shows that play records. I think it could be a healthy resource for all the people on here that do labels.

here are 4 in New Jersey that I know play good music.

The Core, Rutgers, New Brunswick: http://www.thecore.fm/public/index.php

WBRB, Princeton: http://www.wprb.com/

WRSU, Rutgers, New Brunswick: http://wrsu.rutgers.edu/index.php

WSOU, Seton Hall: http://www.wsou.net/

anyone else know any good ones playing punk/indie/hardcore records?

I used to do a show on WLUW in Chicago but they fired most of the volunteer staff a few years ago and the few paid people in charge

...and most of the programming moved over to the CHIRP Project try: http://chirpradio.org/

WHPK & WNUR in Chicago both have punk oriented programming.

if you are going to send your record to radio, you should work it as a radio promo company or label would. keep up with MD's get on the phone talk them up etc. or else your album will go in the free bin outside the studio
