The problem

Why launching an online station gets harder as stations grow

Before

  • Broadcasting, scheduling, player embeds, chat, and analytics may need separate tools
  • New stations have to make technical decisions before they can focus on programming
  • Presenters, shows, playlists, and live access can be hard to organize from the start
  • Listener-facing pages may feel incomplete or disconnected from what is on air
  • Station teams spend too much time setting up the system behind the station

After

  • Broadcasting, scheduling, station management, listener tools, and analytics can work from one platform
  • Live shows, pre-records, playlists, relays, and AutoDJ can support the station schedule
  • Presenters, roles, artist profiles, and access can be managed as the team grows
  • Schedules, live-now info, chat, and recently played content can connect to the station website
  • New stations can build a stronger foundation for launch, programming, and growth
How it helps

How RadioCult supports online radio launches

Broadcasting

RadioCult supports live broadcasts, uploaded media, pre-records, playlists, stream relays, AutoDJ, and configurable audio behavior. This gives new stations a practical foundation for running different types of programming from the start.

Scheduling

RadioCult lets stations schedule live shows, pre-records, playlists, and relays in one shared calendar. Repeating rules, one-off overrides, filters, and event controls help teams plan regular programming as the station takes shape.

Station & Artist Management

RadioCult helps stations manage presenters, artist profiles, show assignments, and user roles. DJ users can be limited to assigned events and automatically disconnected when their slot ends, giving new teams clearer control over station access.

Radio CMS & Embeddable Components

RadioCult helps stations connect listener-facing information to the broadcast. Schedules, live-now details, chat, recently played content, and artist information can be embedded on the station website or accessed through the API.

Testimonials

How stations describe the experience

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.

Running a community radio station isn't always easy, but having a team like Radio Cult in our corner makes all the difference. They get what it's like to be a small team trying to do something meaningful, and their support keeps things running smoothly.
