On That Note offers new radio promo service
College radio has long been a launching ground for new artists in the music business, and a place where few of the recognized programming rules hold sway. A number of younger bluegrass and alternative acoustic acts have found success in the college market, and it stands to reason that others could do so as well if properly promoted.
On That Note Entertainment has launched a college radio promotions service as part of their Media Services division. They will handle campaigns for both manufactured and digital music releases, promoting them directly to music and program directors at college stations on a national, regional or local level.
Cost vary according to the length and size of the campaigns, with more details availalable on their web site.
