Happy Friday,

Please see the following for next week’s Song of the Day information. If a
video from your station is featured, it will appear on around 30 public
media websites around the country in their “Song of the Day” video
player. The following best practices will maximize the impact for your
local audience.

·          Make sure you have the “Song of the Day” player embedded on your
website. If it’s not currently embedded and you would like it to be, reach
out to Mark for the embed code (mark@vuhaus.com).

·          If your station has a video featured on the “Song of the Day”
player, the day of the feature is a great day to push listeners
to your station website via on-air and socials, and to ask your featured
artist to do the same.

Here are the “So of the Day” videos from NPR Live Sessions scheduled for
the next week: March 4 – 8.

Please reach out with any questions!
