What are the technical requirements of a syndicated program?

BEFORE YOU START, MAKE SURE YOUR SHOW FITS OUR GUIDELINES AND TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS.

The program for syndication must be produced without stations IDs and mentioning any particular station names. We believe "a mix is not a radio show", so should contain jingles and / or speech. The ideal is liners or sweepers every 4-5 minutes. More often could be annoying for the listeners.

Why we don't accept single mixes?

We are talking about radio show syndication, so we are delivering contents to radio stations for the purpose of broadcasting.

When you’re tuned in to a particular radio station and a good mix comes on, how do you know what you’re listening to? How can you find out more about the presenter if you like the music? Normally, there are jingles and/or speech to identify it. However, in a mix there are neither. So, both us and radio stations believe there must be either a talking segment or jingles or both.

The 60 or 120 minutes are about yourself, how would you promote yourself if the listeners do not know that who is making the show?

The length of the show must be either 60 or 120 minutes. Preferably 59 or 119 minutes. If you leave it longer your show will not be played full or will cause a delay in schedules.

The program must be properly mastered and in high-quality. Our engineers check every single submission and refuse any that do not meet the quality standards. The show must be uploaded as mp3 320kbps and with no artwork embedded into the file.

This is how the show must not look like. It’s distorting as the volume is well over 0db.




And this is how the show also must not look like. Its volume is too low.
