Note from Amy: I'm asking my supporters to please send a thank-you card to this radio station.  It is very difficult to get a song on the radio, and this may be the first (and hopefully not the last) song about Autism.  May this song pave the way for more Autism awareness.  Thank you.

In the second hour Keith played "Bedroom Blues" should be on Listen Back soon. It's NOT easy to get BBC airway so you did well ! He didn't know much about you apart from picking it off Hotdisc 155.

Hi Rhonda,

Radio stations have been sent the song, "Santa's Littlest Elf has Autism" on CDX535 No. 20, so it's just a matter of asking them to play it.  If they didn't receive CDX535, they can download the song at www.AirpPlayDirect.com/AmyAmes.

STEPS on GETTING RADIO STATIONS to PLAY "SANTA'S LITTLEST ELF HAS AUTISM" BY AMY AMES.

First, listen to your local radio stations for the businesses that advertise.  Call those businesses and ask them to get the song on the radio or mention it in their commercial.  Explain that there are hundreds and thousands of families with Autistic children that would be grateful for the acknowledgement.

Second, contact radio stations and explain that they have received the song on CDX 535, Song Number 20 from Airplay Specialists or DJs can download the song from www.airplaydirect.com/amyames. 

“Santa’s Littlest Elf (has Autism) is also on iTunes.com and CDbaby.com http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/santas-littlest-elf-has-autism/id473052763?i=473052767&ign-mpt=uo%3D4

Next, if you want the radio station to play the song, you may have to actually go in person and bring a small gift - treats work very well.  Then follow up with phone calls, faxes, facebook, twitter, etc.  You will find a lot of people willing to form a calling rotation to contact the station and request the song, “Santa’s Littlest Elf Has Autism” by Amy Ames.

Also, take this opportunity to explain how your child with Autism relates to the holidays.  You may also add that the song story was made up from a child with Autism, Sammy Martinez, in hopes of creating awareness that he belongs to a Global Autism Family.  Sammy’s gift wish is to meet and gather with other kids like him during the holidays.     

Lastly, my son, Sam, is insisting I add this part.  (You know how persistant children with Autism can be)  He said, "Please tell everybody to be extra nice when contacting radio stations and don’t forget to send them a thank you card."

Thank you for checking out my website.  I would like to take the time to write more about this project, but I’m on a mission to help communities raise money for our children with Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome before the holiday season arrives.

I’m only a fraction of the way done contacting groups, and I need to finish.  So, please take the bulls by horn (As we say in Texas), and run with it. 

Money generated from radio station airplays and downloads from CDBABY and iTunes in your area from the song, “Santa’s Littlest Elf (has Autism), will be sent to an Autism/Asperger’s account already set up for this song.  In about 9 months, the monies generated from your area, will be send back to you. 

The more requests the radio stations receive, the more they will play the song.  Plus, the more you get the word out about the download sales, the more people will download the song.  The results will add up to be more $ for your children. 

The hard part is at your end as to organizing the project.  Getting the word out, finding radio stations, and setting up a call request team of people to contact radio stations is what you’re going to need to do for this project to be successful.  I know you have a group of parents who can come up with a plan and implement it.

Good Luck,

Amy Ames

Thank you for including us! I have forwarded your email to all of our SC
autism email lists. Hopefully that will generate some calls in to more
local radio stations!

I have sent out emails to all of the applicable stations here in Hawaii.  We actually have a talk scheduled with a radio station this Sunday the 6th at 9 PST, not a mainstream one, more of a talk show but we will definitely bring it up.  We would love it if we could get a station here to promote autism during the holidays as well.  ………..Jessica Wong-Sumida

I graduated high school with a guy that works for KIII TV in a non t.v. capacity in Corpus.  I will see what contacts he might have and see if we can help get your songs played.  I am also following Monte from the radio station C101 (Rock-n-roll station) in Corpus.  I will direct message him on twitter and see if he has any contacts as well as spread the word on facebook and twitter.  My oldest sister and her family actually live down in McAllen so I will see if she knows of anyone down there involved with any of the stations…….. Robert Hutchins......Southern Texas

I am posting your email below on the Autism Society of America – Dayton Chapter” website and will also send the information out via our email distribution list which contains approximately 2300 emails.........Kelli Cook, Region 10 - State Support Team

We will send this out in our enewsletter to let people across Iowa know.  Thanks for sending it to us......Kris Steinmetz  Autism Society of Iowa

Kacey Jones from Radio Mavens will do a special Christmas promotion to include 6 weeks of promotion between Nov. 21st and Dec. 25th.  She will also send out two e-flyer/press releases to the entire database (of all genres of music) which numbers over 10,000.      

Then Airplay Specialists will call 300 of the 2,600 stations that received the song, “Santa’s Littlest Elf (has Autism) on CDX 535, Song Number 20, beginning Nov. 28th until Dec. 23rd.  There will be some radio stations in your area that will not get called, but will receive the song on CDX535. 

I’m asking if you can get out the message that some of the radio stations in your area will get the CD, but not be told about the song.  If radio stations get calls from their listeners explaining that the message of the song is to promote Autism, they may be inspired to play it.  Also, if listeners call in and request the song to be played, they will play it. 

Please relay the message to have friends, family and parents of Autistic children call the radio stations and request the song, “Santa’s Littlest Elf has Autism.”

To view the song, “Santa’s Littlest Elf has Autism,” on YouTube go to:

This Christmas the story about “Santa’s Littlest Elf has Autism” is going around the world bringing awareness of Autism for the holidays.  My son and I would really appreciate your help in getting out the message. 

Thank you,

Amy Ames and James
