Hearing Your Music On The Radio by Scott G - The G-Man

You are driving through town, one eye on the traffic and the other on the stereo, when suddenly you hear something every musician dreams about: your music is being played on the radio. That is a thrill only some artists get to experience.

Will It Happen to You?
Unless you and your band are part of a well-funded promotional campaign, radio airplay is often out of your reach no matter how lovely your song and how well-produced your track. A lot of things have to occur before traditional radio will broadcast your song...

The main requirement for getting your music disseminated, however, is money. For example, if you want to make it to “the charts,” it takes lots of cash. As recently as 2006, Mike McVay, programming consultant to about 400 radio stations owned by media giant Clear Channel, was asked about the cost of getting a record on the charts. Depending on your genre, he said the amount is “a hundred thousand dollars up to a quarter of a million.”

There is a firm that is offering low cost opportunities for legally purchasing airplay. Yes, you read that right: a legit way to buy your way onto the airwaves. Music Industry Newswire brings you an exclusive interview with Randy Blumhagen, Founder of ToneStac. http://musicindustrynewswire.com/2009/12/02/min2542_170059.php#comment-16935
