How to get listed in Media UK's directory

If you have a media title that you'd like listed in Media UK, here's how to do it: and the kind of data we're looking for.

Will we list you?
It's free to be listed in Media UK, if you qualify. Here's how to find out.

Radio
Media UK adds any licensed, permanent radio station to our directory. If you've an OFCOM licence (on FM, AM, DAB, or via TV networks), then you can be added immediately. If you're an online radio station, you must be licenced with both PRS for Music and PPL; and we'll ask you for your licence numbers.
- Student radio? That's cool, too, provided you're an officially sanctioned station.
- Community radio? Yes, of course.
- RSL? Sorry, but we only list permanent radio stations.
Just like television, we list stations separately if they provide different programming. Cluster stations, like Heart, Gold or Beacon Radio, are listed as one station, even though they may span separate franchises or carry local news, traffic, weather or commercials.

Television
Media UK adds any licenced TV station to our directory. If you've an OFCOM licence, you can be added immediately. We don't currently list online-only TV stations.

Newspapers and Magazines
We'll list any magazine or newspaper, provided it's published in some printed form. We'll sometimes ask you for your ISSN number, to enable us to correctly list you.
We don't list online-only publications; there's a thing called Google which does that quite well.
Our definition of a magazine is "a colour, glossy, folded printed thing with staples in it", which is why you'll find The Economist in our magazine section, and not in our newspaper section.
