Music Submission Policy
Diversified Media LLC. USA (“Diversified Media”) Policy Regarding Music Submissions And Programmer Access,
- Programming decisions and music selections for Diversified Media radio stations are made on a non-discriminatory basis.
- Programming decisions and music selections for Diversified Media radio stations are made at the local station level. Diversified Media LLC 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 “Program Director, Station Manager” at the main studio email address for individual station(s). Emailing addresses for individual studios can be found on the respective radio station’s website.
- Diversified Media radio stations accept new music submissions via mp3. 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’s ability to accept music submissions through these alternative means. Accordingly, Diversified Media suggests submission of music via mp3 when possible.
- Music submitted must be of broadcast quality 320 KBPS.
- Music submitted will not be returned.
- Diversified Media does not sell or barter access to its programmers.
- Uganda Da Banger radio stations primarily responsible for considering music for potential airplay. Uganda Da Banger 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, Diversified Media 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 Diversified Media 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 Diversified Media the right to stream your material on a non-interactive, non-subscription basis.
