Article summary

Publishers can define a schedule of show times that can be displayed to listeners on our website.

Note - November 2021

The broadcast schedule feature was migrated from being defined inside each podcast channel to being setup at the publisher level. This allows it to apply to podcasts and/or radio stream under the publisher account.

How does it work ?

Our schedule allows a publisher to define zero or more broadcast slots, each of which sets:

  • It's duration (how long the show is)
  • It's broadcast times and days (when it is broadcast)
  • A description (what the show is about)
  • An optional linked podcast channel (where episodes for the show is published)

Relevant pages on our website will make this information available to users:

  • Podcast channel/show pages includes a "Schedule" button that is available if any of the slots in the publisher's schedule links to the show.
  • Radio stream pages will always include a "Schedule" button if any items are defined for the publisher.

Editing the schedule

The "Schedule" tab on the publisher account's admin panel allows slots to be added, removed and updated.
