Submit to Terrestrial Radio Stations the Old Fashioned Way - 3 Mail In Submissions

Anybody home???

Mailing CDs and a Press Kit to a Terrestrial Radio Station is Played Out Right?

If we're talking your top 5 local stations; who solely rely on their advertiser's budget's, which are filled with ads, and crappy cookie cutout music then yeah it's played out. However, there are still terrestrial radio stations out there who are truly independent and do not rely on big name advertiser's money. Who would have thought in 2016, that there are stations buried under page 9000 of Google search results who still accept the old fashioned method of mailing your music submissions manually.

While their online presence may not be big, their local presence has been established decades ago with some of the most hardcore fans you will ever meet....next to a bunch of teenage girls at "Next Famous Boy Band's Name Here" concert.

MC Eiht - Wake Yo Punk Ass Up for the 2016 Shot - Everybody Can't Be Doctors/Lawyers

MC Eiht on VladTV Interview

"It's a beautiful Best Buy plaza now but when I was growing up it was a dirt lot". Just like Brooklyn, Compton is now a social media trending city because of it's violent past. MC Eiht and Eazy E are the first two names when I think of Compton, just like Tray Dee for Long Beach. I'm not sure if the pattern is due to where I grew up at or simply because their music was fit more to my vibe.

Remember kids, you don't start gang-banging in your mid-20's - "They got it backwards like they ass was in the front acting like they smoke rock and not grass up in they lungs...I got no words for them, just fist of Fury like Bruce Whah!" Strawberriez N Cream

Danny Trejo On Being Marsha Brady and Starting His Own Taco Shop - The 2016 Interview

"Aren't you afraid of being typecast? You always play the mean Chicano dude with tattoos"
"But I am the mean Chicano with tattoos" - Danny Trejo

On BigBoyTV

From playing Inmate #1 to opening Trejo's Tacos on La Brea and Sycamore, Danny Trejo truly turned nothing into something. Stumbling in to acting accidentally while working as a Drug Counselor, he initially was casted as a Boxing trainer for other actors. He mentions "Eric Roberts", as one of the actors which leads me to believe it was for the 1989 movie Best of the Best. When asked why a taco shop? He explains his humble beginnings, and as to why his mother was his inspiration for opening Trejo's Tacos. If you're in the neighborhood, make sure you stop by and visit!

Looking for Free Online Radio - Our 10 Best Stations List

So you're sitting at work or at home, browsing through the millions of free online radio stations when you suddenly realize there's too many dead air stations listed. Even worse, you come to find that most of the online radio stations are filled with ads. Going back to premium services would solve some of your problems, however why pay for something you can get for free with a little due diligence? We all want free online radio now, but aren't willing to take 5 minutes to learn how.

First you gotta ask yourself which program and/or apps do I like to use personally. Most people don't like trying a new app or program due to the fact that many are rigged with adware or malware. So ask yourself which program or app do you feel the most comfortable with? For Windows users for example some might prefer the basic Media Player or VLC, where someone else will like Winamp or even their internet browser. If you're on your iPhone or Android, then chances are you're probably already using TuneIn or something similar. Whatever the program/app may be, I'll show you how to connect to your favorite online radio station.

Our Top 10 Directories:

1. TuneIn
2. Internet-Radio
3. RadioGuideFM
4. Radio.com
5. StreamFinder
6. StreamingtheNet

European HTTPS Friendly:

1. RadioDirectory
2. RadioGuideFM
3. Live Online Radio
4. Live Radio IE

Use the directories to preview what they sound like. Once you've located a station you like to listen to simply take note of their name and/or website

Now in the app or program you're using, you will need to either search the name of the station or copy/paste their stream URL into the program. To get the url address and port, first you'll want to check their website. Most online radio stations will have it listed on their "How to Connect" page, or will have downloadable links that will open automatically in your program. In some cases it might actually be located directly on their streaming player, so try clicking it as well. Save your settings or add it to your favorites to retain the link, and so that you can play it with a single click anytime and everytime. If for some reason you can't find it listed on their website, then a quick contact page e-mail will do the trick. Simply ask for it and they will be more than happy to share it with you. No online radio station will turn down listeners.

Here's what the stream url/station's play now links will typically look like:
