The American Radio Market is the most competitive in the world. Each week Radio Stations are flooded with new releases from independent artists and major record labels alike. Having access to radio is the most important step in having success with music today. You might have great songs, but without radio, your success will be limited. Each week Pic Hitz Entertainment contacts Radio Stations on our client’s behalf. We offer a professional alternative to expensive “cookie cutter” radio promoters.
Pic Hitz Entertainment provides Radio marketing opportunities and services catering to the needs of independent record companies, artists, and managers. What we deliver is specific focus and targeting of key Radio Stations, Programmers and Markets. This should result in acquisition of Airplay Commitments and Substantial Rotations.
What Pic Hitz does NOT offer our clients is any false guarantees with regard to airplay and spins. The majority of Radio Promotion companies are in-fact contacting a small number of stations that will put almost any song into rotation for a "station promotion". ie t-shirts, stickers, flyaways, giftcards, etc. Then, after about two months of overnight airplay, they inform the client that "your song didn't work". Beware of any company that will make guarantees with regard to number of spins or stations.
Pic Hitz relies on strong relationships, hard work, good music and an honest approach. If you are interested in guarantees, please do not waste our time by contacting us. If you are confident in your project and only seek the opportunity to be heard, we are a good match.
March 5,2007 the FCC announces settlement with the Four Major Radio Companies ,Clear Channel, CBS, Entercom and Citadel in the on-going payola investigation. In addition to a fine of 12.5 Million Dollars, the four companies have agree to provide 8,400 half-hour segments of free airtime for Indendent Record Labels. The American Association of Independent Music comments, " It is absolutely the most historic agreement that the independent community has had with radio. Without a doubt, nothing else comes close". FCC Commisssioner Jonathan Adelstein told the Associated Press, "I love music and I want radio to sound fresh, dynamic and real. Taking payola out of the system will lead to more interesting programming." We have the relationships you need to distribute and promote your project to Radio Stations through out the United States. The opportunity for independent artists and labels as a result of this action is unique and timely.
Our concept of providing help and direction with some of the most important aspects of an artists career offers great opportunities, but also carries a great amount of responsibility. At Pic Hitz Entertainment, we work hard, we’re affordable and we’re honest.
