Promoters or Agents
If you want your Artist played on Radiodowntown.ca this is a must read. We are NOT a music promoter. Our only interest is creating awareness of Independent artists and their music.

- Confirm that the artist is aware and approved that their tunes will be played on our station.
- Provide a photo of the artist or the cover graphic of the new release which can be promoted by our station.
- Submit a bio of the artist or a description of the new release.
- Include all links where our audience can download or play their tunes.
- We will Send you an email that the songs have been selected for airplay, but without acknowledgement stating the artist is aware that it has been added to our station, it will not be played. It takes us well over 18 hours per week to listen to the songs sent in as we get well over 220 entries per week.
- If the above information for the artist is not supplied it will not be played.
Note: From our experience, we’ve found that promoters or agents can sometimes be too busy to inform the artist that their music is being played on our station. However, it’s important for the artist to know, as it provides them with additional promotional opportunities.
If you don’t have the time to notify them, we’re happy to help—just send us their contact information. After you receive our acceptance email, please confirm the artist is aware their music is being aired. If not, we won’t be able to play their songs.
This is a win-win for everyone, and there’s no cost to the artist or promoter. We’re just here to support!
