Frequently Asked Questions
What Formats do you accept for music submissions?
To make the most of our services (Air Play, Rotation Playlists etc) we ask that submissions are made in MP3 Format Only.
382 Radio Broadcasts in 128kbps CD Quality Sound.
Preferred methods: Email Attachment, Dropbox, WeTransfer or Google Drive
What Genres Do You Accept?
At the end of the day, a good track is a good track and the occasional track from a usually non-supported Genre can be played on 382 Radio.
As a general and mostly decisive guide, the following genres are NOT played on 382 Radio:
Rap, Hip-Hop, Dance, Trance, Techno, Thrash Metal, Dark Metal, Ambient, or Similar. We ask that you seek out the many great small streamers who play your genre.
We are not governed by the same level of censorship that terrestrial radio has to comply with. Therefore songs containing swear words can be played without the need of a radio edit version. However, due to the demographic of our listeners any tracks with excessive expletives will not be entertained.
Do You Play Tracks Before Their Release Date?
YES!
We love getting tracks in advance of their release date!
The Earlier we receive them before the release date, the more plays we can fit in.
EMBARGOED TRACKS
You can still send in embargoed material early as long as it's perfectly clear (preferably in the first few lines of your bio) what date (and if necessary, time) the track can be played from.
EXCLUSIVE PLAYS
We have been incredibly lucky to have previously received tracks before any other Station / Streaming / Download Platform.
If you are kind enough to offer exclusive plays and/or content please, again, make this clear in submission.
What email addresses can I send music submissions to?

For potential Inclusion on Chuckas Indie Playlist:

My music isn't on rotation but has been played on the Weekend live show(s)?
We aim to add music to Rotation 1-30 days after initial play*
Every track that gets played on the live shows will be added to Rotation. The level of rotation will be at the discretion of the presenters.
*Or from Official Release Date, whichever is later.
Will my music be taken off Rotation at any point in the future?
Short answer is NO!
If we have featured your music it means we genuinely like it. We do not have any sponsored plays on our station.
Therefore, the more music we have on rotation the less repetitive we are.
If you should wish YOUR track to be removed from our rotation you can apply through a related, verified email address or Twitter account.
