Station Information

The items below are found in the Player Configuration page. See Logging In for information on how to get there.

Click the button-plus button to the left of Station Information to expand it and show the settings.

From the Station Settings section you can manage and edit the station name, description, logo, home page link, and other settings. Each of these items directly corresponds to a specific element on the player.

The Station Settings screen:

Use the table below as a guide to help you understand what information to use in each field. Also refer to the tool tips.

Item
Description

Station Name

Enter your station name. This is for your own reference and does not appear in the player.

Station Description

Enter a description of your station. We suggest no more than 450 characters.

Station Type

Select your station type (either "Music" or "Talk.")

Station Logo Image

Click Browse to select and upload a station logo image from your computer. This logo will appear in two places; the upper-right corner, and in the footer. We recommend an image no larger than 250kb. Supported file formats are jpg, png, swf, svg, svgz.

Logo locations (click to enlarge):

Station URL

Enter the top-level domain URL for your station (e.g., https://blorkradio.com). This URL will be used with your station logo and is also used to help with monetization.

Live Connection Time Out

Enter the number of minutes of listener inactivity before the stream times-out and the listener has to click "Play" in order to resume. Don't use a short time that will annoy your listener; typically, 60, 120, or even 180 minutes are used.

You can also leave this blank, in which case the stream will not time-out, but that means you could be streaming to players where no one is listening, such as if a person leaves their player running when they depart for a three-week holiday. For the sake of better measurement and monetization, we suggest you enter a reasonable value here.

Autostart

By default, Autostart is set to Yes. If you change it to No, the listener will have to manually press play in order to begin their listening session. In most cases, autostart is preferred, so we suggest leaving the setting at Yes.

Country

Enter the country where the station is located.

Favicon

Upload a 16x16 or 32x32 pixel favicon graphic.

Location

Enter the location of the station, or its market. This is used for measurement and monetizaton.

Genre

Enter the genre of your station. (E.g., "Adult contemporary" or "Oldies.") This helps with ad targeting and monetization.
