The problem

Why station workflows
still get messy

Live shows can interrupt scheduled programming when presenters connect at the wrong time

Stations go silent when a DJ misses a slot, a live stream drops, or a schedule has empty space

Audio from different sources can feel inconsistent when tracks, live streams, and pre-records behave differently

Presenter access can be tied to assigned events, with auto-disconnect at the end of each slot

AutoDJ, global fallbacks, and event-specific fallbacks help keep something on air

Broadcast settings, crossfades, cue points, normalization, and stream format controls help stations shape the sound

What's inside

What Broadcasting includes

Broadcasting in RadioCult helps stations control what goes live, when it plays, and what happens when a show ends, fails, or changes. It brings live streams, uploads, playlists, relays, metadata, and fallback behavior into one broadcast workflow.

Live shows with guardrails

Live presenters can only connect during their assigned events and are auto-disconnected when their slot ends. That helps stations avoid accidental interruptions while still giving DJs a clear way to go live.

  • DJ access tied to assigned events
  • Auto-disconnect at the end of each slot
  • Control over whether live streams can override scheduled events
  • Fewer accidental interruptions between shows

Fallbacks that help keep the stream covered

If a DJ does not connect or a live event fails, RadioCult can use fallback content to help avoid dead air. Stations can use a global fallback or set event-specific fallbacks for particular shows.

  • Global fallback content
  • Event-specific fallbacks
  • AutoDJ for unprogrammed gaps
  • Configurable behavior when a live stream ends

Media uploads and playlist control

Stations can upload large media files, assign playlists and tags during upload, and build dynamic playlists that keep programming fresh with less manual work.

  • Concurrent media uploads up to 750MB each
  • Playlist and tag assignment during upload
  • Dynamic playlist building
  • Auto-fetched artwork and metadata for uploaded songs

Broadcast sound and stream controls

RadioCult gives stations control over how audio behaves on air, from crossfade timing to cue points and loudness normalization. Stations can also choose stream output format and broadcast up to 320kbps.

  • Configurable crossfade duration
  • Per-track cue points
  • Stream normalization toggle
  • MP3 or AAC output
  • Stream quality up to 320kbps
How it works

What this supports day to day

Broadcasting helps stations spend less time monitoring the stream and more time building the programming, community, and sound that make the station worth tuning into.

More reliable live, scheduled, and automated programming

More control over how audio sounds and transitions on air

Working with Radio Cult for the past couple of months has significantly improved our workflow. The easy-to-navigate interface, the storage capacity and the ability to schedule weeks or even months in advance are a fraction of the things that made our work a lot easier.
