YOUR VOICE is important to us. As a radio station focused on the promotion of rising talent we are continually trying to find new ways to promote you as an artist. Many of you are independent artists as in you do your own booking, promotion, pay for your own recordings and music videos. We want to explore all avenues in promotion and below are some of the things we currently do to help you on your journey.
1, 85% of our automation is new talent like yourselves
2, Your music is "New Talent" tagged to ensure you get more airplay.
3, When your music comes to us we enter it to a staff portal so all the presenters have immediate access to play it on their shows
4, We actively encourage our presenters to feature you more in their shows
5, We have the New Talent Awards annually which is entirely focused on you.
6, You have 80% more songs featured on our database for airplay than the big names.
7, We have our artist database where you can be entered and where venue owners can look and book you directly via the contact details you give.
8, We offer extremely low cost advertising and have our musicians club which we wish more of you would invest in as it makes the financial burden on us less.
What we'd like to do in the future is to open our website up to selling your music and that is something we are working on at the moment. We also want to produce and air an online show showcasing your music videos.
We'd like to hear from you what we can do to better promote you within the budget and man hours that we currently have. We are all volunteers and work around our full time jobs to promote you and our station is virtually funded by us.
But if its possible we will do what we can to help you. Fill out the contact form opposite and give us your ideas on how we can improve or what we can do to help.
Help us to help you more by donating to the running costs of our station.

Here at countryni no-one that we are a station that is fully behind new and rising talent and 90% of our airplay is dedicated to artists that fall into that category. We are the only station that dedicates so much airtime to new talent.
Unfortunately the costs involved in running our station are very high and a little help from those we support and our listeners can have a massive impact in helping to keep us going.
Below is an idea of our running costs, most of which is paid for out of my day job salary. It's a hard slog to do all this and pay the usual bills any home gets.
Broadcasting Licences £479.00 a year
Software Licence £228.00 a year
Broadcasting Software £2376.00 a year
Website £324.00 a year
Total is £3407.00 a year or £283.00 a month.
I don't want the cost of living to impact the great work we do for the singers of Northern Ireland.
So can I ask you to please help us so we can keep helping you, keep dedicating our station to giving the new talent coming through a voice and much needed airplay.
Just a £5 one off payment via paypal can really make a difference.
