91.1FM WTJU Charlottesville, U.Va.

Whether you're promoting a major-label recording or you've recorded a CD in your home please read this before submitting your recording.

95% of programming at WTJU is music! WTJU has eclectic music programming: so eclectic that we actually need to have music directors for each major genre plus a subgenre or two! This is our quirk, not yours, so the following information is here to make it easy for you to get your material on-air at WTJU!

Email wtju@virginia.edu or call 434-924-0885 if you have additional questions before sending your recording(s).

Contact advice before you mail: Please provide ample information about your recording

Right sample request:

• "Hi, my group plays an eclectic blend of jazz and salsa... though we are unique we have been compared to _________. If you would like to learn more about us check out our website. May we send you our CD? What is your address?"

Wrong sample requests:

• "Hi, do you accept music CDs?"
• "Hi, are you interested in my CD? Here's my website."

Contact advice after you mail, Airplay Tracking:

Correct contact for each genre is under Musical Genres Accepted

Email Contact (preferred)

WTJU receives between 30 and 100 recordings a week that are then distributed among several music directors. Please follow these tracking hints:

• Wait a minimum of eight days (depending upon mailing method) before contacting us.
• Include detailed information about the recording you are tracking so that your email is delivered to the correct music director.
• Please be patient if you do not hear back immediately as all of our music directors are volunteers and are not at the radio station every day.

Phone Contact

Music Directors are volunteers and may be at the radio station only once a week. Some do not have "regular" office hours. Phone numbers and office hours of each genre's staff are listed below
