SomaFM is a listener-supported, commercial-free internet radio station. Launched in February 2000 from a warehouse in San Francisco, we started with just one channel, playing ambient music, and developed a small but dedicated audience. Now we have 14 different channels and over 450,000 listeners each month.
We play music for a huge, previously ignored audience. Over-the-air commercial radio, now dominated by just a few giant corporations, play music geared towards mass appeal. With limited playlists, and limited genres, they seek to reach the most people with the least effort and risk. They assume they have an unsophisticated and captive listener, yet today’s listeners are neither. The real listener has internet access, wildly eclectic taste, and is eager to discover new music. SomaFM’s stations, playing thousands of songs, with new songs constantly being added, are the antidote to mainstream radio boredom.
NOTE TO MUSICIANS: Please don't send us a message or add note requesting we check out your myspace songs. We don't take submissions via myspace for a couple of reasons. Primarily, the sound quality sucks and we don't really have the time. If you'd like to submit music, you are more than welcome to follow these guidelines:

ANOTHER NOTE TO MUSICIANS: Please don't promote your show/band/DJ set/whatever in the Comment space. That's what your myspace is for. We're just going to take it down.
