Music Submission Policy
If you are sending unsolicited media, please take note of the following KCOU submission policy:
KCOU currently has established relationships with labels, promotion groups, and other parties who regularly submit music for review and consideration for airplay. If you are a representative for a record label, promotions group, or independent artist who has never dealt with KCOU before – feel free to contact the Music Director (md@kcou.fm) directly for information on how to work with our station, begin record service, or provide submissions for review. No matter who you are, there is never a guarantee of airplay for any submissions, period.
If you are a local artist/band* and would like to know how you can be heard please read the following carefully:
If you have a radio-friendly recording (no profanity or already edited for content) of airable audio quality (does not sound like you recorded in a bathtub with your answering machine), SEND IT TO US along with contact information for your band. Additionally, a “media kit”-type packet is advisable. The more we know, the better off you are. Also, please take care with your packaging and choice of envelope – we get a ton of new material every day and have little patience for mailings that get chewed up en route (see this example), contain asbestos-type death stuffing (similar to, if not, Jiffy® Padded mailers that lack the handy red pull-tab), or require a blow-torch to open (see Jiffy® TuffGard® cushioned mailers or TuffGard Extreme™).
*Local is defined as artists from the Columbia, Missouri area, or any Missouri- or Kansas-based band that regularly plays at least once a month in this locale.
