what are the most popular stations. I think if we all request at the same stations they have to take notice. but i dont know how effective i am asking my local stations if Im the only one asking. So what are the big NY, LA, etc. stations?

Clear Channel Radio Chicago

Suite 2800
Chicago, IL 60601

312.540.2000

Tried to send off a request. Hope others do too.

Okay- based on the last released Arbitron ratings- these are the top stations in the top 4 markets... I've taken out a lot of stations that wouldn't apply to E-- with the exception of WGCI I think the rest of the stations would give E a shot if feedback was there.

Keep in mind- program directors go off of listener feedback and record label input [after all-- most of these stations are Clear Channel!]

Not sure where everyone on this board is from- but if you know anything about the city or the DJ's, feel free to include it- that will give a hometown listener vibe to your requests.

I think it's a great idea to focus on the top markets because it gains audience attention- however, smaller towns and cities elsewhere are also excellent places to make your voice heard- smaller stations sometimes have more flexibility in altering their playlists as well-- and a spin on any station counts as a spin-- both on MediaBase and Billboard- which will be key to giving MMFL so longevity so E stays in the picture while he's on tour.

Also, don't feel like you need to spend all day e-mailing, over time, if we are persistent, hopefully the stations will begin to notice.

Hope this helps! :cheerleader: :bunny:

I am making this my research project for the evening. I'm checking the playlists for the top FM stations of the 5 largest metropolitan areas, finding the e-friendly stations and providing e-mail addresses. Please check my thread entitled list 'Compiled List Top City...'

:goodpost:

I have access to a media database, and I have an excel file with all of the adult contemporary, R&B, lite rock, jazz, smooth jazz, etc. stations in the country, along with phone numbers and email addresses. They are organized by state and format.

If anyone is interested in a copy of this spreadsheet, let me know and I can email it to you (not sure if I can upload an excel file on this board somehow -- if anyone knows let me know!).

I just finished compiling a list of the top 4 Radio Markets in the country with the Top Listening Audiences (per Arbitron ratings). Its pinned in this folder.

That's great! But I figured if people wanted a list of stations in their local area or state, they could check out the spreadsheet. Just throwing it out there -- it's available if anyone wants to check it out.
