So as most of you know, Anoop will be going Indie with his music and plans on releasing his first single in March, titled "My Name"
Since it's fairly difficult to just call up a top 40 radio station and request Anoop, some of us thought it'd be best if we started with the Indie radio stations. Someone came up with the idea of college radio stations who are always open minded when it comes to playing different music while its their time on air.
If anyone has a connection with anyone who happens to be a DJ, intern, office asst etc and works at these stations...let us know immediately so we can send them a copy of Anoop's song. We need to send emails and follow up on them once a week.
We should definitely start making a list of all these radio stations, so please, lets start doing our research so when Anoop's single comes out, we're prepared!
Anyone else have any ideas?

Diana, we can't send them "immediately" because his song is not out yet. Haha. However, YES it's a great idea to keep a list of indy-friendly radio stations. Here is New Orleans' indie station: www.wwoz.org/ They don't play pop, though, but if it is bhangra, they may play it during their world mjusic segment. So it really depends on what Anoop's single sounds like.

BTW the call and email are best coming from the local listeners, because radio stations hate out of town street teamers.

Walk 97.5 is a Long Island radio station that is adult contemporary but plays stuff off the beaten track like songs by Heart. They play Idol coronation songs like David Cook's "Time of My Life" and Kris Allen's "No Boundaries." I think they played Elliott Yamin's first song.

www.wybc.com/ Yale's radio stations. It looks like there are three stations, including one which is an urban/r&b station, 94.3, and another station which seems to be talk and music. It appears that they take submissions.
