How to create a schedule

Complete guide to working with the Tunio broadcast schedule

The “Broadcast Schedule” feature lets you define which music or content will play at certain times of the day on your station. It is the main tool for automating your broadcast: you can pre‑distribute playlists, jingles, podcasts and other blocks by day of the week and hour.

What the “Broadcast Schedule” feature is for

The function allows you to fully automate your station. Key capabilities:

Music management

You can define which playlists will play in the morning, afternoon, evening or night.

Example

TimeBlock
07:00–10:00“Morning chill”
10:00–14:00“Daily hits”
14:00–18:00“Energetic playlist”

Content and thematic blocks

You can schedule:

  • Podcasts
  • News
  • Announcements
  • Weather forecasts

Different grid for each day

Each day of the week can be configured individually: for example, on weekends you can play a completely different music style.

Full automation

Once the schedule is set up, your radio runs completely on its own — the system automatically switches blocks at the right time.

“Broadcast Schedule” interface

The page consists of the following elements:

“Add schedule” button

Used to create a new broadcast block — for example, connecting a specific playlist for a certain time.

“Bulk delete” button

Lets you delete several schedule items at once. Handy when you need to quickly update the whole grid.

“Content” and “Music” tabs

These buttons let you display different types of schedules:

  • Music — music playlists.
  • Content — podcasts, news, ad inserts and any non‑music blocks.

Days of the week grid

Days presented: Monday — Tuesday — Wednesday — Thursday — Friday — Saturday — Sunday

Hourly timeline (00:00 — 23:00)

Each row is one hour. Each cell is a broadcast block that you can create and configure.
