during class while my teacher was discussing if radio is still relevant, he mentioned that the best chance at getting your music as a independent artist on radio is by blowing up on college radio which took me outta the loop cuz i was like "people actually use that". so for college/uni age ppl like me do yall think uni radio is a relevant platform this decade or nah?

bump

Didn’t you want to leave @op

i dont spend much time on here anymore anyway i only post in the evenings now

Depends, some schools have a decent sized culture around it, others don't.

care to clarify further

just joined mine and its really cool

I think that they're def not as "important" as they were pre internet but still really important to helping smaller artists

Your teacher is probably super old school but there really isn't any point in getting on radio in 2022. Playlists are the modern day radio

if im gonna listen to the radio, it's usually college radio. there's a ton of variety for everybody and the DJs know their s***, plus it's a great way to discover some lost gems or songs you barely hear on the radio

If your school has a good music scene and decent size yes.

Some schools care more about it than others. My Alma mater didn't do much. But I know of schools that do live performances of local artists and put em up on YouTube

This used to actually be correct.

It's definitely irrelevant as hell now and your teacher showed their age.

nah nobody really listens to radio anymore. you're better off just uploading songs to dsps and marketing on every social media app

My homie used to run one at UCSC and I’d tune in bc he really knows his stuff & would play a ton of underground house/dnb/garage/techno

If the hosts have taste, it’s no different than peeping a playlist from a friend
