Well first, I want to post some Do's and Don'ts from FOD which everyone should be aware of:

The Dos

-Call, text or email to request the song at stations INSIDE your local or metro area. The radio stations want to hear from listeners in their market(s), or listening area. Spamming phone lines with out-of-state or region calls will not make them inclined to play ALTNOY… avoid this at all costs.
-Call, text, or email your local Top 40, HAC (Hot Adult Contemporary), or AC (Adult Contemporary) station with a polite request for ‘A Little Too Not Over You”. Contact each station no more than once per day - alternating between calls, emails and texts is also a good practice.
-Anecdotal evidence indicates that calling your requests in during the afternoon drive time shifts is pretty effective. The afternoon drive times are sometimes handled on air by the station Program or Music directors - the people at the stations with authority to decide what gets added and played. If calling to request during the afternoon is not feasible for some, then by all means make your request during the morning or evening shifts.
-Make some requests directly through Mediabase using the internet request form. It’s fast, and easy. Here is an example of the MediaBase link: http://www.mediabase.com/mmrweb/7/stationplaylistrequest.asp?c_let=... Replace the XXXXcall-letters in the URL with your local stations’ call letters. (Remember to include FM or AM at the end) Online requests can be submitted for any Mediabase monitored station, directly through Mediabase. The request form accesses the station’s current playlist. You can also write-inup to three (3) requests for songs not yet listed on their playlist. If your local station has a MediaBase Link, you will be able to access a form. If not, then submit your requests via call or text. If you don’t know your local stations’ call letters, try searching via Wikipedia or Goggle to find it.

The Don’ts

-Call, email, or text continuously in an attempt to harangue or harass a DJ or program/music director into playing the single. If the DJ informs us that they will try to play it, don’t call back and be rude or disrespectful with them if the song doesn’t get played. Keep uppermost in mind that the DJ has no authority in what gets added or played on their stations. That is the bailiwick of the music or station program director. Being rude or disrespectful will leave a very negative impression of the fan base, and could result in them being even less inclined to play this or even future releases from that artist. Be polite, be respectful at all times in making the requests!
-Call, text or email to request the song at stations OUTSIDE your local or metro area. The radio stations want to hear from listeners in their market(s), or listening area. Spamming phone lines with out-of-state or region calls will not make them inclined to play ALTNOY… avoid this at all costs.

I also want to add this important fact from FOD:
"The success of second singles for an artist after having a breakout hit with the first, like “Crush”, is crucial. It is a commonly held belief among music aficionados that the second single, rather than the debut single, is the release that actually sets the tone for an artist’s career. The success of the second single is often viewed then as an indicator of future success."

Sooo I think we should each commit to requesting daily to each of the radio stations we know of that might play it. And recruit others to request too, as long as they live in the Bay Area.

The radio stations I requested Crush to were:
Star 101.3
KKIQ 101.7
Alice 97.3
Mix 106.5

Anyone know of any more we can request ALTNOY to?

For people in the East Bay, there is KOHL 89.3 from Ohlone College in Fremont. I don't get great reception, but I do listen online www.kohlradio.com. There's also a request page from their website. They play Crush in heavy rotation, and I just started requesting ALTNOY but haven't heard it yet.

HI guys, I just found out there IS a Top40 station in SF afterall. Movin 99.7 KMVQ. I am not sure if someone has mentioned it here. They don't have Crush or ALTNOY on their playlist or mediabase request list. But I just sent an email to the PD asking about ALTNOY. We'll see what happens.

Unfortunately this station does not seem to be mediabase monitored, but it is BDS monitored, so it's airplay will help billboard ranking.
