Introduction
Welcome to the myradio.click Console User Guide. This comprehensive guide will walk you through every feature of the console, helping you manage your radio station effectively.
The myradio.click platform provides radio stations with a powerful management console that handles everything from program scheduling and episode management to on-demand audio distribution and website widgets. Whether you're a station owner managing the entire operation or a presenter logging your playlists, this guide has you covered.
Program Management
Create and manage your station's programs, set up recurring schedules, and organize your content library.
Episode Tracking
Automatic episode generation from your schedule, with full metadata editing and playlist logging.
On-Demand Audio
Download segments of your broadcast, replace episode audio, and manage your on-demand content.
Website Widgets
Embed players, schedules, and episode lists directly on your website with customizable widgets.
User Roles
The myradio.click console has two user roles: Station Owners (administrators) and Presenters. Each station has one owner with full access, and can have multiple presenters with limited access to their assigned programs.
Station Owner (Administrator)
As the station owner, you have full access to all features including:

Presenters
Presenters have limited access focused on their own shows:
- View programs they are assigned to
- Edit metadata for episodes of their programs
- Add playlist logs (track listings) to their episodes
- Cannot create programs, manage grid, or access station settings
Pro Tip
Presenters only see programs and episodes they are associated with, keeping their interface clean and focused on what matters to them.
Logging In
Access the myradio.click console at console.myradio.click.
Navigate to the Console
Open your web browser and go to console.myradio.click
Enter Your Credentials
Enter the email address and password associated with your account. If you've forgotten your password, click "Forgot Password?" to reset it.
Access Your Dashboard
Once logged in, you'll be taken to your dashboard where you can see your stations and recent activity.
First time user? If you've been invited as a presenter, check your email for an invitation link. Click the link to set up your account before logging in.
Dashboard Overview
The Dashboard is your home base when you log into the console. It provides a quick overview of your station's activity and shortcuts to common tasks.
What You'll See
- Station Overview - Your station's name, logo, and basic information
- Recent Episodes - Quick access to your latest broadcast episodes
- Upcoming Schedule - See what's coming up in your broadcast schedule
- Quick Actions - Buttons for common tasks like adding programs or viewing the grid
Pro Tip
The dashboard is customized based on your user role. Presenters will see their assigned programs prominently displayed, while station owners see the full overview.
Quick Actions
The dashboard provides quick action buttons to help you navigate to common tasks efficiently:
Jump straight to creating a new program for your station
See your complete weekly broadcast schedule
View and manage all your station's episodes
Access your station configuration (Owners only)
Recent Activity
The Recent Activity section shows your latest episodes with quick access to edit them. This is particularly useful for presenters who need to add their playlist logs after a show.
Click on any episode in the recent activity list to go directly to its editing page where you can update the title, description, and add your playlist.
Station Overview
Your station is the central hub of all your content. The station page shows your broadcast details, streaming URLs, and provides access to all management features.
Station Information
The station page displays:
- Station Name - Your station's display name
- Description - A brief description of your station
- Logo & Banner Images - Visual branding for your station
- Timezone - The timezone used for scheduling
- Stream URLs - Links to your live audio streams
- HLS Stream Identifier - Used for on-demand content
Adding a Station
To add a new station to your account, you'll need administrator privileges or need to contact myradio.click support.
Navigate to Add Station
From your dashboard, click the "Add Station" button or navigate through the main menu.
Enter Station Details
Fill in the required information:
- Station Name - The public name of your station
- Call Sign / Slug - A URL-friendly identifier
- Description - Tell listeners about your station
- Timezone - Select your broadcast timezone
Configure Streaming
Set up your streaming details including your HLS stream identifier and stream URLs for different quality levels.
Upload Branding
Add your station logo and banner images. These will be used throughout the platform and in widgets.
Important
The HLS stream identifier must match your streaming server configuration. Contact myradio.click support if you need help setting this up.
Station Settings
Station settings allow you to update your station's information, branding, and technical configuration.
Basic Information
- Station Name - Update how your station appears across the platform
- Description - Update your station's bio and information
- Website URL - Link to your station's main website
- Contact Email - Public contact information
Branding
- Logo - Square image used for thumbnails and icons
- Banner - Wide image used for headers and featured displays
- Tile Image - Used in grid layouts and listings
Technical Settings
- Timezone - Affects all schedule displays and episode timestamps
- HLS Stream - Identifier for on-demand audio generation
- Stream URLs - Links to your live audio streams
Pro Tip
Your timezone setting is crucial for accurate scheduling. All times in the grid and episode listings are displayed in your station's timezone, making it easier for your team to manage schedules.
API Keys
API keys allow you to programmatically access your station data from external applications, websites, or services. This is useful for building custom integrations or automating workflows.
Important
Only station owners can create and manage API keys. Keep your API keys secure and never share them publicly.
Creating an API Key
Navigate to API Keys
From your station page, click "API Keys" in the sidebar navigation.
Create New Key
Click the "Create New API Key" button.
Configure the Key
Enter a descriptive name for the key (e.g., "Website Integration" or "Mobile App").
Copy Your Key
The full API key is shown only once after creation. Copy it immediately and store it securely.
Important Security Note
Your API key is only shown once. If you lose it, you'll need to create a new key. Store it in a secure location like a password manager or environment variable.
Managing API Keys
The API Keys page shows all your keys with their status:
Rate Limits
All API keys have a rate limit of 120 requests per minute. This ensures fair usage across all users and prevents abuse.
Pro Tip
Create separate API keys for different integrations (e.g., one for your website, one for a mobile app). This way, if one is compromised, you can revoke just that key without affecting other integrations.
Understanding Programs
Programs are the shows that make up your radio station's schedule. Each program represents a recurring show that can be scheduled in your broadcast grid at different times throughout the week.
What Makes Up a Program?
- Name - The title of your show
- Description - What the show is about
- Bio - Information about the presenter(s)
- Images - Tile, banner, and thumbnail images for display
- Genre & Category - Classification for filtering and discovery
- Social Links - Links to social media, Mixcloud, etc.
- Explicit Flag - Indicates if content may contain explicit material
Programs don't have specific air times themselves - they are assigned to time slots in the program grid. This allows the same program to air at different times throughout the week.
Adding a Program
Creating a new program is the first step before you can schedule it on your broadcast grid.
Navigate to Programs
Click "Programs" in the sidebar, then click "Add New Program".
Enter Basic Details
Fill in the required program information:
- Program Name - The title of your show (required)
- Description - What the show is about
- Bio - Information about the presenter(s)
Set Classification
Choose appropriate categorization:
- Genre - The music genre or content type
- Category - Additional categorization
- Explicit Content - Check if the show contains adult content
Add Social Links (Optional)
Add links to the program's social media presence, Mixcloud page, or external website.
Save the Program
Click "Create Program" to save. You'll be redirected to the program page where you can add images.
Pro Tip
After creating a program, don't forget to add images! Programs with good imagery look much more professional in your widgets and on-demand players.
Program Details & Settings
The program details page allows you to view and edit all aspects of your program.
Editing Program Information
Click the edit button (pencil icon) to modify:
- Program name and description
- Presenter bio
- Genre and category
- Explicit content flag
- Social media links
- External URLs (Mixcloud, SoundCloud, etc.)
Program Episodes
The program page shows all episodes associated with this program. You can click on any episode to edit its metadata or add playlist logs.
Scheduled Time Slots
See when this program is scheduled in your broadcast grid. Each time slot shows the day, time, and duration.
Adding Images to Programs
High-quality images make your programs look professional and help listeners identify your content. The system automatically generates multiple sizes and formats (including WebP) for optimal performance.
Image Types
Tile Image
Square format, used in grid layouts. Recommended: 800x800px
Banner Image
Wide format, used for headers. Recommended: 1920x600px
Medium Image
General purpose. Automatically generated from tile.
Go to Program Page
Navigate to the program you want to add images to.
Click Upload Image
Click the upload area or drag and drop your image file.
Select Your Image
Choose a high-quality image file (JPG, PNG, or WebP). Maximum file size is 10MB.
Wait for Processing
The system will automatically resize and convert your image to multiple formats.
Pro Tip
Use consistent branding across your program images. This helps build recognition with your audience and looks professional when displayed in widgets and listings.
Adding Programs to Your Grid
The Program Grid is your weekly broadcast schedule. It defines when each program airs, and the system uses this to automatically generate episodes.
Important
Only station owners and administrators can modify the program grid. Presenters cannot add or remove time slots.
Adding a Time Slot
Navigate to Program Grid
Click "Program Grid" in the sidebar navigation for your station.
Use the Add Slot Form
At the top of the grid page, you'll find the "Add Program Slot" form with the following fields:
Slot Configuration Options
- Custom Grid Title (Optional)
Override the program name for this specific slot. Useful for special editions or themed shows.
- Start Date
Select a Sunday to start the recurring slot. This sets when the first episode will be generated.
- Select Day
Choose which day of the week this slot airs (Sunday through Saturday).
- Start Time
The time the program starts (in your station's timezone).
- Duration (Minutes)
How long the program runs. Common values: 60 (1 hour), 120 (2 hours), 180 (3 hours).
- Program(s)
Search for and select the program(s) to assign to this slot. You can assign multiple programs to rotate.
Search and Add Programs
Use the program search field to find programs. Click on a program to add it to the slot. You can add multiple programs if they rotate in the same time slot.
Save the Slot
Click "Add Slot" to save. The slot will appear in the grid view organized by day.
Pro Tip
The system uses "seconds from Sunday midnight" internally to track all scheduling. This means midnight Saturday night rolling into Sunday is considered the start of the week. Plan your late-night shows accordingly!
Once a slot is added, the system will automatically generate episodes for upcoming broadcasts. Episodes are typically created about a week in advance by a background job that runs every 5 minutes.
Removing Programs from Grid
When a program is no longer airing in a time slot, you'll need to remove it from the grid to stop future episodes from being generated.
Navigate to Program Grid
Go to your station's Program Grid page.
Locate the Slot
Find the time slot you want to remove. Slots are organized by day of the week.
Click Delete
Click the red "Delete" button next to the slot you want to remove.
Confirm Deletion
Confirm that you want to delete the slot. This action cannot be undone.
Important
Deleting a slot stops new episodes from being created, but existing episodes remain in the system. If you need to remove historical episodes, you'll need to delete them individually.
Disabling a Program
If a program is temporarily off-air but may return in the future, you can disable it rather than deleting it. This preserves all the program information and historical episodes.
Go to Program Settings
Navigate to the program you want to disable and click "Edit".
Toggle the Active Status
Look for the "Disabled" or "Active" toggle and switch it to disabled.
Save Changes
Save the program to apply the change.
Disabled programs won't appear in public listings but will still be visible in the admin console. Re-enable them at any time to restore their visibility.
How Episodes Work
Episodes are individual broadcast instances of your programs. Each time a program airs according to your grid schedule, an episode is created to represent that specific broadcast.
Episode Properties
- Air Date & Time - When the episode was broadcast
- Duration - How long the episode ran
- Title - Custom title for this episode (optional)
- Description - Episode-specific description
- Playlist Logs - Track listings played during the episode
- Episode Image - Optional image for this specific episode
How Episodes are Created
Episodes are automatically generated by the system based on your program grid schedule. You don't need to manually create episodes - the system handles this for you.
Automatic Episode Generation
A background job runs every 5 minutes to check your program grid and create episodes for upcoming broadcasts. Episodes are typically created about a week in advance.
- Episodes inherit the program name, description, and image by default
- Each episode has a unique timestamp based on its air time
- The HLS on-demand system uses this timestamp to serve the correct audio
Pro Tip
If you notice an episode is missing, check that the program is properly scheduled in the grid and that the slot's start date has been reached. Episodes won't be created for dates before the slot's start date.
Editing Episode Metadata
While episodes are created automatically, you can customize each episode with its own title, description, and image.
Navigate to the Episode
Find the episode you want to edit from the Episodes page or from the program's episode list.
Click Edit
Click the pencil icon or "Edit" button to open the episode editor.
Update the Fields
Modify the following fields as needed:
- Episode Title - Give this episode a unique title
- Description - Add details about what was covered
- Episode Image - Upload a custom image for this episode
- Hide Times - Option to hide timestamps in the playlist
Save Changes
Click "Update Episode" to save your changes.
Pro Tip
Adding unique titles and descriptions to your episodes improves discoverability and helps listeners find specific content when browsing your on-demand archive.
Adding Episode Logs (Playlists)
Episode logs (also called playlists or track listings) document what was played during a broadcast. This is essential for music reporting, listener reference, and artist discovery.
Both station owners and presenters can add playlist logs to episodes. Presenters can only edit episodes for programs they are associated with.
Open the Episode
Navigate to the episode you want to add logs to.
Go to Playlist Tab
Click the "Edit Playlist" button or switch to the Playlist tab.
Add Track Details
For each track, enter:
- Title - The track name (required)
- Artist - Who performed the track
- Album - The release/album name
- Label - Record label
- Release Date - When the track was released
- Air Time - When the track was played
- Location - Local, National, or International release
- YouTube URL - Link to music video (optional)
- Custom Links - Add links to Spotify, Apple Music, etc.
Save the Log
Click "Add Log" or "Save" to record the track.
Pro Tip
For radio stations tracking local music content, use the "Location" field to mark tracks as Local, National, or International. This helps with content reporting and can be displayed in your on-demand widgets to highlight local artists.
Streamline Your Logging
Add tracks as you play them during your show, rather than trying to remember everything afterwards. The air time defaults to "now" making real-time logging quick and easy.
Episode Segments
Segments allow you to divide your episode into distinct sections, making it easier for listeners to navigate long-form content.
Segment Properties
- Title - Name of the segment (e.g., "Interview with Artist X")
- Content - Description or show notes for this segment
- Start Time - How far into the episode this segment begins
- Duration - How long the segment lasts
Pro Tip
Segments are particularly useful for talk shows, podcasts, or long-form content. They help listeners jump directly to the parts they're most interested in.
Deleting Episodes
In most cases, you won't need to delete episodes. However, if an episode was created in error or contains content that needs to be removed, station owners can delete episodes.
Important
Deleting an episode removes all associated data including playlist logs and segments. This action cannot be undone.
Navigate to the Episode
Find the episode you want to delete.
Click Delete
Click the delete button (trash icon) on the episode.
Confirm Deletion
Read the warning message and confirm you want to delete the episode.
Deleting an episode does not affect the program grid. New episodes will continue to be generated according to the schedule. To stop future episodes, remove the slot from the grid.
Downloading Audio
The Download Audio feature allows you to extract segments from your broadcast archive. This is useful for creating podcast versions, highlight clips, or archival copies.
Important
This feature is only available to station owners and requires an active HLS streaming setup. Audio downloads depend on your archived broadcast storage.
What You Can Download
- Episode Audio - Download the complete audio for any episode directly from its page
- Custom Segments - Use the Audio Chopper to extract any time range from your archive
Using the Audio Chopper
The Audio Chopper tool lets you select a specific date, time, and duration to extract audio from your broadcast archive.
Navigate to Download Audio
Click "Download Audio" in the sidebar navigation for your station.
Choose Start Date and Time
Use the date picker to select the exact date and time you want to start the clip. All times are displayed in your station's timezone.
Set Your Duration
You have three options to set the duration:
- Select an end date and time using the date picker
- Use quick duration buttons (5 min, 15 min, 30 min, etc.)
- Enter a precise duration using the hours:minutes:seconds inputs (e.g., 0:01:30 for 90 seconds)
Maximum clip length is 3 hours.
Preview the Audio
Click play in the audio player to preview your selection before downloading. This ensures you've got the right timing.
Download
Once you're happy with the preview, click the download button. Be patient - larger files take longer to process.
Important
Don't refresh the page while a download is processing, or your download will be lost. Large files (especially 2-3 hour segments) may take several minutes to prepare.
Pro Tip
Audio recordings are available from the past 2 months. If you need older content, contact myradio.click support.
Replacing Audio
The Replace Audio feature (also known as the "Replacer") allows station owners to replace the original broadcast audio with a different recording. This is useful for:
- Replacing content that had technical issues during broadcast
- Removing commercials for on-demand versions
- Uploading a higher quality studio recording
- Fixing audio that had licensing issues
This is a premium feature that may require an upgraded plan. The replacement audio is served to listeners instead of the original broadcast recording.
The Replacement Process
Here's how audio replacement works from start to finish:
Navigate to the Episode
Find the episode whose audio you want to replace.
Access the Replacer
Click the "Replace Audio" button or tab on the episode page.
Upload Your File
Select and upload your replacement audio file. Supported formats include MP3, AAC, M4A, WAV, and WebM. Maximum file size is 25MB.
Processing
The system will process your upload and convert it to the appropriate format for streaming.
Email Notification
You'll receive an email notification when processing is complete. The email will confirm whether the replacement was successful.
Processing Time
Audio processing typically takes a few minutes but can take longer for large files. You'll receive an email when complete, so you don't need to stay on the page.
Pro Tip
For best results, upload audio that matches the original episode duration. If your replacement is significantly shorter, listeners may experience silence at the end.
Presenter Management Overview
Station owners can invite presenters to the console, giving them access to manage their own program content without providing full administrative access.
Important
Only station owners and administrators can invite, manage, or remove presenters. This feature is not available to presenters themselves.
What Presenters Can Do
- View programs they are assigned to
- Edit episode metadata for their programs
- Add playlist logs (track listings) to episodes
- View their upcoming schedule
What Presenters Cannot Do
- Create or delete programs
- Modify the program grid (scheduling)
- Access station settings or API keys

Inviting Presenters
To bring a presenter onto your station, you'll send them an email invitation that lets them create their account.
Navigate to Presenters
Click "Presenters" in the sidebar, then click "Invite Presenters".
Enter Their Email
Enter the email address of the person you want to invite.
Select Programs (Optional)
Choose which programs this presenter should have access to. You can also assign programs later.

Click "Send Invitation". The presenter will receive an email with instructions to set up their account.
Invitations expire after a set period. If a presenter doesn't accept in time, you'll need to send a new invitation.
Pro Tip
Before sending invitations, make sure the programs you want to assign to the presenter are already created. This makes it easy to associate them during the invitation process.
Presenter Permissions
Presenters are linked to specific programs. They can only see and edit content related to their assigned programs.
Assigning Programs to Presenters
To change which programs a presenter has access to:
- Go to the Presenters page

Find the Presenter
Use the search function if needed to find the presenter you want to remove.
Click Remove
Click the remove button (trash icon) next to their name.
Confirm Removal
Confirm that you want to remove this presenter from your station.
Important
Removing a presenter only removes their access to your station. Their user account remains in the system. Any content they created (playlist logs, etc.) will remain on the episodes.
What are Pre-Rolls?

Feature sponsors with audio ads that play before on-demand episodes.
Promotions
Promote upcoming events, shows, or station initiatives.
Program-Specific
Assign pre-rolls to specific programs for targeted messaging.
Pre-rolls are only available to station owners and may require a premium plan depending on your subscription level.

Pre-rolls can be scheduled to automatically start and stop on specific dates, making campaign management effortless.
Date Range Controls
- Start Date
The pre-roll will begin playing on this date. Set this to today for immediate activation.
- End Date
The pre-roll will automatically stop playing after this date. Perfect for limited-time campaigns.
Pro Tip
Plan your pre-rolls ahead of time. Upload holiday messages, sponsor campaigns, and special event promotions in advance, then set the dates and forget about them!
