CBC Music Submissions

CBC Music Submissions

Open Deadline

Artists wishing to submit original songs for airplay consideration on CBC networks (CBC Radio One and CBC Music), send to the CBC Music Library by email to music.library@cbc.ca.

You may also indicate the specific program for preferred play in the subject line of your email as follows: "Attention: [program name]." This will help alert the proper program host to your submission.

Include the following in your email:

  • A digital song file (high quality WAV format preferred but send it as a link to a downloadable file - ie Dropbox link) or downloadable links
  • Album art and liner notes that list artist, composer and production credits (or link to a downloadable file)
  • Artist biography and/or media kit
  • Your contact information (artist rep, email, phone number)

Once the Library receives your submission, it will be reviewed for possible future programming on all relevant programs/platforms. Your submission will also be made available to all CBC Music producers. (Individual producers can access the library to locate music they wish to play on their show.)

The submission email account will not reply to requests for radio play or to questions concerning radio play.   

Additional notes: 

National radio shows (and hosts) can be found here: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/shows or through the CBC Listen website or app.
