The best internet radio directories to submit your station to are TuneIn, Radio Garden, iHeartRadio, Radio.net, Streema, Online Radio Box, Audacy, RadioBrowser, RadioFM, and Internet Radio. Each directory has its own submission process and audience — listing your station across multiple platforms maximises your discoverability and helps new listeners find you.
Pairing directory listings with a well-built station website and seamless listening options creates the strongest foundation for audience growth.
Radio Cult Tip: Radio directories require your station's streaming URL during submission. If you're a Radio Cult station, you'll find your streaming URL in your station settings — ready to copy and paste into any directory submission form.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to pay to list my station on radio directories?
Most internet radio directories offer free submissions. Some directories may offer premium or featured listings for a fee, but a standard listing is typically free across all the directories listed above.
How long does it take for my station to appear after submitting?
It varies by directory. Some like RadioBrowser list stations almost immediately since they're community-driven, while others like TuneIn or iHeartRadio may take days or weeks to review and approve submissions.
Can I submit an internet-only station, or do I need an FM licence?
Most directories accept internet-only stations. The notable exception is iHeartRadio, which generally only accepts stations with FCC-issued call letters. All other directories on this list welcome online-only broadcasters.
Should I submit to every directory or just a few?
Submit to as many as possible. Each directory has its own audience and discovery features, so broader coverage means more chances for new listeners to find your station. Start with the largest directories (TuneIn, Radio Garden) and work your way down the list.
