There are so many different size and style radio shows/stations from hospital radio up to BBC. We live in a digital world and there are thousands of radio stations all over the world and online.

If you have money and want to look into a booker/PR company who you can pay to use their experience and contacts to try and get you played however there are no guarantees and if you don't have a lot of budget it could be too much of a gamble.

Go and seek out the radio dj's and start to romance them and don't just ask them to play your music as that is far too forward. Romance them a little and get to know them and let them get to know you before asking anything!

As always the best way to get on radio is to get the radio station to come to you because of the following and engagement you have. Radio want listeners so get your audience to engage with the band and call or email local stations to demand your song.. If you have a good following that will get the DJ's attention and from there you have a shot.

It's all about the ground work if you have no money! Go find the smaller stations and build up from there.
