The WM–SDS process

From submission to station discovery.

WM–SDS provides a clear, controlled route for music information and files to move from artists and their representatives to authorised radio teams.

Five straightforward stages.

01

Artist submission

An artist or authorised representative adds release details, audio and supporting material through the portal.

02

Wrexham Media review

The submission is reviewed for completeness and suitability before a decision is made.

03

Approved catalogue

Accepted releases are prepared for inclusion in the WM–SDS catalogue.

04

Authorised station access

Approved radio-station users receive access to the catalogue and its updates.

05

Browse, preview and download

Stations can review information, preview tracks and download original files where access and permissions allow.

WM–SDS supports discovery and distribution. Submission or catalogue inclusion does not promise download, broadcast or airplay.

How Network Shows move through WM–SDS.

01

Provider metadata

A presenter, producer, syndicator or production company supplies the show, episode, format, delivery, scheduling and rights details.

02

Structured review

Wrexham Media reviews the information. The submission remains pending and hidden from station users unless approved.

03

Secure delivery coordination

Programme files and supporting documents are coordinated separately until secure provider upload endpoints are available.

04

Episode and parts control

Approved episodes can describe a continuous programme or ordered parts with durations, cues and break positions.

05

Station evaluation

Authorised stations can evaluate available content subject to rights, restrictions and availability.

06

Station decision

Each station remains responsible for compliance and carriage. Submission or approval never guarantees broadcast.
