Somehow, it seems like only artists get a chance if they either have a big deal or a community so huge that the hype takes care of the rest. But how often does that really happen?  <\/p>\n<p>In most cases, it\u2019s extremely hard to get on the radio at all if you don\u2019t have a deal with a record label. On average, at most two or three German newcomers per year are placed into formats by their label. Now you might be thinking that, with all the streaming services these days, the radio market isn\u2019t that important anymore?! Okay, let\u2019s do a reality check: If you look at the barometer on the GEMA website for the different revenue areas such as streaming services, live business, or album sales, you can clearly see that radio not only has solid reach, it also brings in money. With just 20 minutes of radio airplay per year, you\u2019ve already earned back more than GEMA\u2019s annual fee (\u20ac50). To make that amount via Spotify and the like, you\u2019d need around 50,000 streams.     <\/p>\n<p>Luckily, there are a few radio formats and stations that close exactly this gap and give you, as an artist, the chance to step into the spotlight even without a deal\u2014and, with a bit of luck, the right zeitgeist, and great music, to establish yourself there too. Not every station can just play the best of the \u201980s. Where would that get us!  <\/p>\n<h3>Fritz &#8211; Unsigned<\/h3>\n<p>For 14 years, the youth station Fritz, based in Potsdam-Babelsberg, has been running a very targeted newcomer support program. The weekly show \u201cUnsigned\u201d is cult, and host Christoph Schrag is a strong advocate for his prot\u00e9g\u00e9s. Although the focus is on artists from Berlin and Brandenburg, they still \u201ccast\u201d nationwide.  <\/p>\n<p>If you click <a href=\"http:\/\/bands.fritz.de\/\">here<\/a>, you\u2019ll go straight to the registration. A few details about you, your online presence, and up to three uploaded songs\u2014from demo to pro mix\u2014are completely enough for the station. Alternatively, you can also contact the editorial team <a href=\"mailto:unsigned@fritz.de\">by email<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fritz.de\/alles-fritzen\/kontakt\/index.html\">by post<\/a> (keyword \u201cUnsigned\u201d). If the Unsigned team likes your music, they\u2019ll definitely get back to you. The show airs every Sunday from 5 PM to 8 PM. If you make it onto the live show with Christoph Schrag, that doesn\u2019t just mean you can perform your songs live\u2014the station will also play your studio productions and do an interview with you. The radio show around your live performance is also filmed and broadcast live.      <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"longdesc-return-271679\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-271679 size-medium\" tabindex=\"-1\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-recordjet-com.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/fritz-300x169.jpg?strip=all&quality=86\" alt=\"Radio Fritz logo\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" longdesc=\"https:\/\/blog.recordjet.com?longdesc=271679&amp;referrer=271152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-recordjet-com.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/fritz-150x84@2x.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog-recordjet-com.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/fritz-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog-recordjet-com.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/fritz-705x396.jpg 705w, https:\/\/blog-recordjet-com.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/fritz.jpg 708w, https:\/\/blog-recordjet-com.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/fritz-300x169@2x.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Two acts are featured each week. Outstanding tracks also make it into the main program from time to time. So what are you waiting for?! Go for it! The only requirement for your application is: you must not have a label deal.    <\/p>\n<p>We asked Christoph Schrag, the host of \u201cFritz Unsigned,\u201d what might be behind the fact that the fascination with radio is still unbroken among musicians and listeners alike:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Fritz reaches 60 to 70% of 19- to 29-year-olds. That clearly proves: radio isn\u2019t dead. It just might not roar quite as loudly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Radio is like a placebo. You know people are listening to you, but you don\u2019t know who. That\u2019s incredibly appealing. And I never get tired of hosting this great format\u2014two hours a week, and only for up-and-coming talent. And the young artists like coming. On average, we get 50 to 150 applicants a week. Consistently. People are simply up for this live moment. That\u2019s part of the charm. And especially in times like these, it gives you even more courage and hope. And it distracts you a bit, too. Plus, it\u2019s still a huge opportunity for the artist to reach a new audience. Fritz reaches 60 to 70% of 19- to 29-year-olds. That clearly proves: radio isn\u2019t dead.

Startrampe has been on air since early 2009. The show is also aimed at listeners of the radio station PULS\u2014back at the beginning, the accompanying radio show <em>Startrampe on3-radio<\/em> was broadcast there on Wednesdays from 10:00 PM for two hours. The show featured the bands and highlights from Startrampe. The format primarily served to support emerging performers from Bavaria who were already known from youth radio.
