We're seeking local & independent music submissions!

    Westcott Radio is endeavoring to play as much local and independent music as possible. The more local and independent, the better in our view. "Local" to us is ideally people in the Westcott neighborhood of Syracuse, followed by the City of Syracuse and Onondaga County. Given our limited geographical focus right now, that's what "local" means to us. Likewise, we consider "independent" to ideally mean either self-released or at least on a small indie label. We're not trying to denigate larger labels, but merely recognizing that the smaller the label, the more help the artist needs and those are the artists we most wish to promote.

It's best to address music to individual program hosts.
    We don't dictate what music our programmers play, so it's always best if you communicate directly with them. You'll find most are vey willing to help you, if they can. But remember, they're all volunteers, so they may not have a lot of time to always get back to you promptly.
We're looking for people willing to help us promote local music.
    Another one of our priorities is promoting local music as much as we can, using any tools we can find. This includes creating large blocks of local music for airing, compiling local concert calendars, recording local concerts for later airing (preferably after some editing) and using our website in creative ways.
We need more hosts for music programming.
    We are committed to local & independent music. Any proposed music shows should take that into account. We just have no interest in duplicating existing local radio playlists when there is so much music not getting aired in Syracuse. Just be aware that we voluntarily follow FCC guidelines, which means we play swearing after 10pm and before 6am. But beyond those basic caveats, the sky is the limit, honestly.
