In an effort to help the Record Labels & Radio Promoters get coordinated info from Non-Reporting Stations, 106.9 HOME.fm & The Arbor FM Radio Network (Spring Arbor University Radio), has developed a new centralized way to get that helpful Add Info to the labels!

Glenn Goodwin (SAU Radio PD/MD) says: ‘We believe this will be a helpful tool for smaller stations and those that are non-reporting; and will be beneficial for the labels, artists, and the stations! We have received only positive feedback from the labels & promoters, and look forward to helping our industry stay even better connected in this way!’

Just launched, there are seven stations out of the gate that are part of the group, and they are looking forward to adding many more.

Stations wishing to participate in this group, can simply submit your Weekly Adds to one central location each week. Then that info will be compiled and sent to all the Christian Labels & Promoters with the list of corresponding info from the submitting stations.

If your station is a Non-Reporter, We would love to have your station as part of this group! Would you be interested in being added?

You would simply email Song Adds for the week. Then your Add info is part of the compiled list to the labels with the corresponding Station info.

To be Added: Send your info to Glenn Goodwin @ glenn.goodwin@arbor.edu

1. Station Call Letters
2. City of License

BOOST supplied food, party favors, and custom mixes for dozens of winners nationwide.
