I don't know i think radio will always be good for music. it will always make money...but i guess it also depends on what kind of music you make. "radio listeners" is a big, mixed group that includes everyone from teens and young adults blasting the latest pop/ hip-hop from their cars or the older demographic that I have recently noticed either listen the radio ALL day at work or play the radio on the corresponding website ALL day. what kind of music do you make i guess is what im getting at

Yeah, it would make a difference to know the kind of music I do. Best example is if you look up "Shadow Complex Theme" on YouTube. I did the theme song for that video game recently and it's one that I'd push to radio if I were to push a song to radio of any kind.

Satellite radio probably is a great option. I'll definitely look into that!! Thanks for the tip!

Well there is part of your answer right there, why not get yourself a Youtube channel, and try out PBS radio/TV, they play a lot of non-pro and non-fimiliar artist all the time.

Mostly NPR especially on Saturdays
FM round here is pretty bad.One station around here uses Metal in the background while the DJ is talking to make them sound harcore and brutal(which really annoys me)
Then they're like "aand here's Nickelback"
AAAARRGH
OK its 98 Rock lol oops

The sad thing is, I live in Northern VA and that's definitely one of the better stations around here

OP, if you're trying to get your song on the radio to make money, this is not the place to ask who listens to radio. I don't think we represent you're average person in terms of music taste and listening habits. If you're concerned about getting your music to people that really love music, then you've come to the right place.
