OTR Database: Radio Stations and Programs That Play Old Time Music

The information contained in this database represents a compilation of information sent by radio stations, broadcast executives and disc jockeys from around the world who have reported to OTR that they currently include, or would like to include old-time music as part of their broadcast schedule. Every effort has been made to present the data as it was provided to OTR, and we attempt to keep it as accurate and current as possible. However, with radio being the fluid and ever-changing business that it is, we cannot guarantee that this information is always up-to-date.

If you are a radio executive or disc jockey, and would like to have information on your station and/or show included in this database, we invite you to fill out our OTR Questionnaire Form, which is available by email request to John Lupton at jlupton@sas.upenn.edu, by regular postal mail to 205 Woodgreen Court, Claymont DE USA 19703, or by fax to (302) 798-2088.

The radio stations presented here are organized by regions, and are sub-organized within each region by postal code (i.e., in the United States, by ZIP code). Where information on individual shows that play (or would like to play) old-time music, that information is presented immediately following the general station information.

Please help us keep this database as accurate as possible by reporting errors or outdated information to John Lupton at jlupton@sas.upenn.edu.
