Music Submission Policy
for Old Fashioned Christian Music Radio.
My name is Michael McFadden. As a Christian radio station
operator, I am always looking for great Godly Christian Music that's worth
playing on Old Fashioned Christian Music Radio. If you have quality Christian
music that would fit the format of this station, then please send me a copy
of your music to evaluate. Any music that I accept for airplay will also
get a place in my online Christian Music Store, if am able to get legal copies of
it to sell.
Artists Please Note:
In light of the recent Copyright Royalty issues...
As of June 1,
2007, Old Christian Radio (OCR) has LIMITED its airplay ONLY to
artists, musicians, labels who have granted
airplay permission to OCR to play their music. Doing this is the
only way around this mess.
I don't see the
sense in paying those wicked heathens at Sound Exchange (another
extension of RIAA or "big record") a pile to money for
the right to broadcast "major label" music which makes
up only 10% of OCR's play schedule anyway. [Major Label as in: 16 Singing
Men, Don Marsh, Melody Four, Hale and Wilder, Tom Fettke, London
Philharmonic Choir And Orchestra, Brentwood Music, and etc.]
It
was a lot better for me to quit "air playing" the 10%, cancel my Sound
Exchange License, and license directly with the "small
guys" who are doing for the Lord instead of the money.
When you submit music to Old Christian Radio; please send a
radio airplay permission letter, giving Old Christian Radio permission to play
your music. (Copyright royalties for songs you use that are NOT written NOR
controlled by you are covered by the station's ASCAP. BMI, and SESAC airplay
licenses.)
(Before
sending your music, Please read the music submission guidelines below.)

When you submit music to this station, please keep in mind these
guidelines
I only want
music from people who are "born again" Christians.
All the music on your recordings must be consistent with
Fundamentalist Bible Believing Christian standards: NO "Christian
Rock". NO "Christian Rap". NO "contemporary praise and
worship" stuff.
Christian music ONLY. NO secular stuff (Classical music
is okay, if it is Christian oriented).
The main focus of your music should be to give
honor, glory and praise to God. If that's NOT your main focus,
then I don't want your music.
The music on your recording must be consistent with the
format of this station. This station's music format is
sacred/traditional Christian. PLEASE LISTEN TO OLD CHRISTIAN RADIOFIRST and determine for yourself if your music would "fit in"
before your submit your music to Old Christian Radio.
If your recording is SCRIPTURE MUSIC or there
is scripture reading in your music... It
must be KJV1611 only!
CD is the PREFERRED media for submission to this
station. (Music from CD's is a lot easier to put into the
system.)
The CD's you submit must
be the same ones that you are selling to the public. [NO
"sampler CD's" will be considered.]
If your CD's are NOT released for
public sale NOR available to the public, then please do NOT
submit them for airplay consideration.
Please understand that getting airplay on Old
Fashioned Christian Music Radio is a privilege and NOT A RIGHT.
So please don't get offended if I choose NOT to play your music on the air.
Keep in mind Psalm 119:165 "Great peace have they which love thy
law: and nothing shall offend them."
Please include some info on yourself and your group.
(Things such as... How you got saved, some history, what
ministries you are involved in, the name and location of your church and
pastor, website address, mailing address, phone number, and etc..)
Please include ordering info on your music so I can
buy copies of it, at bookstore rates, to include in my station's online
music store.
