Before any submission, it would be helpful for you to read our Distribution page and listen to our broadcast. Again, listen to the show and ask yourself one question, “is our production standards as strong as what I am hearing?” If it is “yes” and you are a Christian Independent artist interested in submitting your music for airplay consideration, please contact us.

We generally play Contemporary, Pop and Light Rock, and feature music with a strong melody. We are exclusive; every cut must have that something worthy of broadcast airwave radio. Each Sockspider show will feature all new songs with follow-up air play provided by TSP radio. But….we do though provide a Top 10 show each November! Additionally, if you are selected for one of our shows you’ll need to sign our broadcast release form.

U.S. based radio stations are responsible for submitting royalty reports to all applicable organizations. We DO NOT submit our show to Internet radio sites and the FCC and Sound Exchange have no jurisdiction over the stations abroad that do play our show. Our show is non-commercial and non-profit and no revenue is made from the production and usage of the show. We consulted with the agencies of ASCAP/BMI/SEASAC and Sound Exchange to work out our policy. This, along with our broadcast waiver, allows us the freedom to play Independent Artists only — which benefits the artists. Opportunities are opened with radio play, and to minister to the world is a Christian musician’s calling. We do this as a ministry for you to promote your music and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Independent Chrisitan music is much like any other genre and severly limited by the record companies and labels. We’ll get your music out there to be heard, but standard radio royalty rates stand at 0.09 cents per play, thus it’ll take you 100 plays to make 1 cent. The radio is probably the best promotional tool you’ll ever see as it gets your name known and gives you the exposure to build a fanbase, which in turn leads to potential sales. Even the major artist gets the bulk of their revenue from sales and performances, they see very little from radio royalties. We want to be perfectly clear, we do this to assist you and to get the great music from your hearts to the ears that need to hear His message!
