Often times the bands/artists we play provide us with tags to include along with their music. I was recently asked if mentioning promotional URLs for bands within those tags was okay for inclusion.. This particular band promoter was concerned that it might go against our "commercial free" status. The following was my response.
"Yes, you can mention your website... It's not a commercial to add URLs to these tags, the station is set up to promote the bands we play so these tags work well because they give our audience a quick reference and a means to locate band info. (We always post the bands websites on page #3 of our website) And, you don't have to worry about being subtle. We mention URLs all the time on the stream... Most importantly, we don't accept payment for mentioning anything on our radio stream.
My best.
