Question

is there a program the tells you when a new song comes out or better yet when it is being played on the radio

Answer 1

There is new technology being developed but for now, you can look at your RDS display on newer radios.  Most radio stations use this to scroll title and artist of songs.  There is new developments with Hybrid Radio (HD) being used to purchase and download tracks to your MP3 or IPod player.

Answer 2

Each individual station handles that in their own way. And it is, of course, dependent on the format of the song and the stations. By program I take it you mean radio program (not  computer program). There are lots of stations that play an hour of new music and package it as "The New Music Hour" or something similar.

Record Labels do very little radio advertising, so you just have to listen, check the music sites, magazines and newspaper entertainment sections. And of course your local record store, where the clerks are sometimes the best source of info on new music.

There are websites that cover new music, any search engine can help you find them.
