Music Tampa Bay Playlist

What's New

"You Control The Music"

MTB now features Instant Requests in the music stream. Use the following link, or the identical one below the scrolling Now Playing display near the top of this webpage, to input your song request directly into the MTB playlist...



The link displayed here is designed to enable listeners to make selections from the extensive MTB Music Library, now consisting of more than 2,500 original songs by local, Tampa Bay artists. Then, these songs will be scheduled to be heard in the music stream IMMEDIATELY, or as soon as possible, depending several factors, including regularly scheduled features (such as Top 10 Songs and Feature Artist) and the number or requests already received and entered into the MTB playlist.  Requests for songs already scheduled, or recently heard, are delayed until a 60 minute repeat window expires.

When making a request, enter song titles or artist names into a search window that appears when the Instant Request link is activated. A list of all tracks from the library that match that criteria will then appear, along with another list of songs already requested (if any). Individual selections will then be inserted directly into the music stream in the order that requests are entered. Requests by individual listeners are limited to 2 per hour and up to 10 total each day. These policies are subject to change at the sole discretion of MTB.

The Instant Request system will honor requests beginning at 6am and continuing until Midnight every day except Sunday, when requests will be honored between 6am and 6pm only. Requests will also not be heard during Top Ten Countdown Shows, or during occasional special programming such as live events and commemorative programming.   Top 10 and #1 Songs will continue to be scheduled at select times daily. Voting in the Tampa Bay Fun 40 and all other website functions will continue as normal.
