The downside of this is you will have a limited publicity, the chances of major record label discovering you are almost negligible. So, if you are planning to get your track on national radio stations then you must understand few things, commercial radios do not exist for playing music. They have always existed and will continue to exist only for advertisement.

 The job of a program director in a radio station is to choose songs which the public want to listen so they don't take a risk of playing track from a new singer.

If you are considering submitting it to TV station then you can do so in two ways, one directly to the music supervisor; this way you get to be your own publisher and get to keep all the royalties that you earn. The downside, you might not even be allowed to meet the music supervisor, so unless you have some contact in the music world you would better take help of a music publisher who will present your track to various supervisors and get you a deal. The downside of such an arrangement is that you will receive probably half the royalties you earn as publishers charge huge fees.
