Online Radio Stations

As we are looking to promote the music of our artists to FM radio, we have a real opportunity to share the music with the online community. We have developed two online stations thus far, as a way to make music available to the public and to expand the fan base of our artists.

TMG Radio

Tate Music Group launched a new radio station, TMGRadio, that focuses primarily on the Christian AC, Rock, and Urban formats. TMGRadio has seen quite a bit of success as it has climbed into the top 50 stations of its genre since the launch in August. It is a great mix of chart topping artists like Matthew West, Skillet, NeedToBreathe, and Lecrae…as well as great TMG artists like Justin Cross, Michelle Buzz, Chuck Tocco, and Vanessa Vasquez. 
You can listen to the station by going to the radio page at www.tatemusicgroup.com. Youcan also go directly to the station page. You can also listen on many smart phones, including the iPhone. Check out our program schedule here.

You can also listen from the TMG Radio Girl blog by streaming the station here, on the right side of this screen. If you would like to create a widget to share this station on your own page, you can click ‘Get Widget’ on mine.

Tate Radio
Tate Radio is an online radio station for TMG artists and it is another way for us to track feedback for our artists and their music. We currently have 316 Tate Music Group artists spinning on Tate Radio. To listen, follow the link: http://loudcaster.com/channels/442-tateradio

Radio Shows

Tate Music Group produces weekly radio programs that go out to over 400 radio stations nationwide! These are FM…listen while you drive…terrestrial stations…all across the country! One program is called Breakthrough and it focuses on new and heartfelt worship music from all over…including many TMG artists. The other programs are title, X-Tracks, and they run everywhere from Minnesota to Texas and Pennsylvania to Kansas City. This is more of a Christian rock and contemporary based show with a lot of local flavor to them. We keep things regional to showcase the talent these areas have to offer. Here are the places you can check out these programs. Be on the lookout for more.

Research

At TMG Radio, we log countless hours researching the radio market for our artists. We are able to track the listening hours on Tate Radio and our TMGRadio station, as well as receive listener feedback.
We scout for non-commercial radio stations with local artist spotlights, as well as the larger commercial stations. As we build relationships with radio stations, we continue opening this market for our artists.
Another avenue we have been looking into is TV/Film Placement. So many great artists have seen a following grow due to TV, film and advertisement placement of their music. We have started submitting music to a few projects and continue to look for these opportunities. 
 
Radio Ads
Tate Music Group has a national radio advertising campaign for our artists and their music. TMG understands how important it is for artists to have as much radio exposure as possible…and this is another way for Tate Music Group artists to be heard. Our TMG design team customizes ads for our artists and they run nationwide…creating incredible opportunities for artists to grab new fans. Contact Tate Music Group for more info. Keep listening for TMG spots on air.
