Title: REQUEST SAVE SOME TIME TO DREAM AT RADIO
Post by: sharonc on January 05, 2011, 10:28:44 am
Hey Mellenheads,

The beautifully evocative "Save Some Time To Dream" has been released to Adult Album Alternative (AAA/Triple A) and Americana formatted radio stations. It's off to a good start but your help in securing additional airplay would be greatly appreciated. The stations are playing the song but, of course, we'd like to hear it more often which is where you come in.

The hope is for you to request your local AAA and Americana radio station to play it.. find Yours HERE and then call, email or Facebook them your request.

Among the stations that have supported John's music in the past that we hope will do the same for "Save Some Time To Dream" his new single are:

KFOG in San Francisco - http://www.kfog.com/music/RequestaSong.aspx 
WXRT in Chicago - http://wxrt.radio.com 
WTTS in Indianapolis/Bloomington - http://wttsfm.com  / WTTS Studio Line: 1-800-923-WTTS (9887) Feedback: [email protected]
KINK in Portland, OR - http://www.kink.fm  / Song Request http://www.kink.fm/E-Quest/131097 

These days most stations have a facebook page that you can “like” and discreetly post on their wall asking to play the song.

Thanks for taking the time to help support this great music!

THREE IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN REQUESTING
1. If it seems you are part of a 'street team' or any other kind of highly organized effort the stations are less likely to take your request seriously.

2. When requesting the song focus only on the song and them why "Save Some Time To Dream" is a great inspirational song and that you want to hear it on your favorite station. You can say “I saw John Mellencamp in concert this year and he performed this awesome song… Or I saw John perform "Save Some Time to Dream" on Letterman and would love to hear it on my favorite station... Or I saw John perform "Save Some Time To Dream" on YouTube and I think it's one of his best songs and want everyone to hear it. In these cases, it's more about the song than the artist so please focus on that when you reach out.

3. BE DISCREET! Don't email the same DJ more than twice a week and please don't email the same station more than once a day. Keep your requests friendly, fun, and upbeat.
Thanks for taking the time to help support John and don't forget to "Save Some Time To Dream"!

Let us know how you make out at your requests! Post back to this thread with your efforts!
