Go live on air on your Radio Station!

Online radio broadcasting can be done in two different modes: automatic and live. RadioKing’s Radio Manager is an automation system that allows you to manage the content of your radio station and broadcast it automatically thanks to our radio servers. In order to broadcast live on air (in real-time), you will need to use a live broadcasting software.

Automation in the radio world refers to a type of streaming. An automation system allows you to schedule your content in advance, and takes care of making it available to your listeners.

When it comes to broadcasting live on your internet radio, the choice of your software will depend on your needs and preferences. Some solutions offer basic streaming features that simply allow you to speak live on air via a microphone. Others are more complex, allowing you to mix music and connect various devices to enhance your live broadcast.

Broadcasting live on your radio station allows you to create a direct connection with your listeners by speaking to them in real-time! It’s a great way to create unique content that provides a genuine and humanized experience for your audience. You can use this format to invite guests on your station, and even take listener call-ins and allow them to participate in your radio shows!

Many live radio broadcasting solutions are free to use, such as BUTT, Mixx and LadioCast. Others offer free usage with limited features, and require payment in order to fully enjoy unlimited access. 

As a broadcaster, it’s essential to provide great audio quality to your listeners to keep them coming back for more! In order to do so, you must invest in audio equipment such as:

• USB microphone: an easy solution thanks to a “plug and play” system. They do not require any additional equipment to get up and running.
• XLR microphone: require a mixing desk or audio interface to work. They are a great option if you’re planning on going live with multiple people.
• Headphones: in order to hear the audio being broadcast, and even pre-listen to tracks when going live.
• Audio interface or Mixing desk: necessary only if you have chosen an XLR microphone
