What's it cost to promote to radio?
Below are four example levels of the costs of taking a project to radio. These are not high level promotions, but
instead are designed for indie labels who are still learning the radio game, and who are still developing their
product. These costs assume you already have manufactured at least 1000 CDs. If you require vinyl, costs will be
more.
