Before I start, Here is a breakdown of the players involved in radio airplay (Pay For Play).

*Record Company:
A company that makes and sells musical recordings

*Radio Promoter:
The main function is to get airplay for the performer’s latest release. This is usually accomplished by contacting primary and secondary radio stations in each market, making sure they have a copy of the release and urging them to give the recording a chance to be heard by the local listening audience. Over time, competent radio promoters build up relationships with station managers, deejays, and others who are involved in the decision of what songs to play or not play.

*Radio Station Program Director:
In radio, a program director is the person who develops or selects some or all of the content that will be broadcast. A program director’s selections are based upon expertise in the media as well as knowledge of the target demographic. Typically, a program director decides what radio program will be broadcast and when.

————————–
I had a dream of hearing my music on FM radio While recording songs for my first album. I took the first single from my album to the radio station and met with the program director. The program director played my song and said that it was a hit. However, the song would not get played on the radio without a payment.

The program director said that record companies pay for radio airplay. Pay for play is the reason that you hear the same songs over and over on the radio.

The program director told me the amount of money needed for my song to get played on the radio. He also referred me to a radio promoter to set up the payment to make sure there was no direct connection between the radio station and me.

Note To all recording Artists:
Pay for play only happens with radio station in the United States. Other countries would love to play your music without a payment. So make the best records you can and never give up.
