Great post. Does anyone have a list of radio station phone #'s?
Some helpful info to consider while the strategy is being set....
1. Here's some radio industry/trade sites for station contact info (I know there is a website directory for every station in the country on the allaccess.com site):
www.allaccess.com (this is the biggest radio & records industry website - i would suggest registering and then infiltrating the ranks)
www.fmqb.com (trade magazine)
www.radio-info.com
www.rab.com
www.nab.org (National Association of Broadcasters)
- email:
radio@nab.org
http://www.nab.org/directories/Associates/MemberList.asp?id=1325 (go here to let all the very well-paid programming consultants know how you feel!!!)
2.I would suggest cc'ng the e-mail to the General Managers, Operations Managers, Program Directors and Morning air personalities for maximum effect and political reasons - get the buzz going inside the station AND on air.
3. And don't forget, faxes work very well at radio stations too (they don't get many - too many listeners rely on the phones to contact them) so a fax may be very effective.
4. Oh one other thing - it may be effective to contact certain state broadcasting associations in heavy country format markets such as Texas Association of Broadcasters (www.tab.org).. here's a GREAT page with all of those state links:
