Other TV broadcasters… Read more: My video contains explicit language and content – should I be submitting a clean version only? - Are there more video destinations available than what I see in the Destinations step?Yes! With a Pro upgrade, you will have access to our full database of music industry promotional destinations. A listing of the main music video destinations can be viewed on this page. Upgrades can be done instantly via the Upgrade to Pro button on your Dashboard after logging in. More info about the Pro account option can be found here.

There is never a guarantee your release will be listened to by a programmer, or played on air. That depends on the quality of your music and… Read more: I’ve delivered my release to radio.

- What type of video files do broadcasters require?Detailed file specification information can be found here. When music videos are uploaded, our video team will perform a manual QC (quality control) and email you the results. If it meets the specs, we’ll confirm it’s ready to send as a broadcast file.
