Use the group responsible for distributing the program you are adding. For example, recordings from "Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!" are distributed through NPR's website, so the label should be NPR. Do not add a catalog number for digital media releases unless you are absolutely certain it's a catalog number and not just an internal ID number. |

Use the date the program was first released by the label. This is often the day of or the day after the program first aired. If you are unsure of the date, don't enter it — the day the program aired is in the release title. |

(some more rambly notes and examples: User:Ianweller/Radio show style examples)
Things that need to be added:
- "Radio" as an extra release type
Guidelines
Release type
The release type should be set to "Other + Radio". If the show was recorded in front of a live studio audience, add "Live".
Release name
Follow this format: YYYY-MM-DD: Title[: Location]
Only include Location if it is a live recording. Don't add the location for studio recordings. Location is of this syntax: [Venue, ]City, [State, ]Country
Examples:
- 2012-06-30: Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!: State Theatre, Cleveland, OH, USA
- 2012-07-07: The Writer's Almanac
Artist credit
Artist credit should be given to the groups or people given at the beginning of the program. Examples:
- Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!: NPR & WBEZ Chicago — "From NPR and WBEZ Chicago, this is "Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!" ..."
- All Things Considered: NPR News (NPR) — "From NPR News, this is All Things Considered ..."
If the only people listed at the beginning of the program are the hosts, or if there are no people or groups listed at the beginning of the program, use your best judgement for the artist credit. Examples:
- Fresh Air: NPR & WHYY (listed at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresh_Air)
- The Writer's Almanac: American Public Media
Track listings
For programs separated into segments when distributed (for example, separate downloads for each segment, or a player which loads a new file for each segment), list each segment as a separate track. The track title should be the title of the segment from the distributor, if useful.
Label
Use the group responsible for distributing the program you are adding. For example, recordings from "Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!" are distributed through NPR's website, so the label should be NPR. Do not add a catalog number for digital media releases unless you are absolutely certain it's a catalog number and not just an internal ID number.
Release date
Use the date the program was first released by the label. This is often the day of or the day after the program first aired. If you are unsure of the date, don't enter it — the day the program aired is in the release title.
For programs distributed as a single file or track, use only one track, and title it the same as the release.
