Is MTR radio tracking right for you?
If you aren’t sure if MTR is right for your radio tracking needs, go ahead and check it out for free! Sign up for an account and take a look around. Try out the dashboard using the “Sample Song” and browse the list of radio stations. If you don’t see a station you want to track in our database, simply submit a station request. We are adding stations daily as MTR continues to expand!
When you are ready to go – just upload a song, select a plan (per song) and MTR will start tracking your airplay in real-time.
Tracking radio spins made easy
Tracking plans are priced per song. Just upload music files, fill in the song information, and select the tracking plan that’s right for your promotion campaign and budget. Whether you just need to track a single at a time, or multiple songs by multiple artists.
Real-time radio reporting
MTR tracks airplay in real-time. After MTR detects a spin matching your song’s fingerprint, that spin will appear in the dashboard. You can view spins in the all-time overview, or by selected tracking period. Or view radio spins by station, city, and day part (spins during each hour of the day)!
If you don’t see spins right away – it is important to note that some stations may be faster to pick up or “add” a song than others. Tracking your airplay with MTR does not guarantee you will get airplay. Nor does promoting your music. It is still up to the radio stations, programmers, and music directors to select which songs get added into rotation. If MTR detects airplay, you will see it in the dashboard.
MTR is adding more radio stations daily
If you aren’t sure if you are getting airplay you can cross reference the list of radio stations you sent your music to, with the radio stations tracked by MTR. If you don’t see a station in the database, you can submit a request and our team will be happy to add it!
If you know for a fact a station played your song, and you see it listed in the database, but still aren’t seeing the spins you expected to see – feel free to contact our friendly support team. Each song has a unique tracking fingerprint and we can check to make sure your song file uploaded correctly and has a fingerprint.
Promote your music to radio before you track it
Tracking your song with MTR does not guarantee airplay as that all depends on whether your song is in fact getting spins at radio. The decision is up to radio programmers and music directors. However, promoting your music to verified contacts with Caster, can give you the best chance for success. If your song gets played on a radio station MTR monitors, we can track it!
