Radio Airplay

Unsigned & Independent bands send us your music

Airplay for you and your music

Chief Radio is owned by a professional singer/songwriter/musician Kirsty Baird.
We all want the 'commercial' stations to play our tunes and on occasion they may do just that however, one play on any radio station is not likely to make much difference to your career.

What will we do for you?
We listen to every song, if you are successful we will give you FREE airplay on our Underdogs show on a Sunday from 15.00. Send us your socials and your news and our presenter will talk about you and your music.
If you have been selected for the Underdogs show you could then promote your music in featured artist playlist you will get more plays, more mentions on our other daily shows for one week:

For £3 we promote your single for one week
For £5 we feature your album for one month also added to our website.
For £2 a month we add your music to our playlists that will rotate your music until you no longer want to pay.
Presenters will talk about you, your music and your events. It costs us £8k plus to stay on air and your contribution helps.
