How to create a schedule

Complete guide to working with the Tunio stream schedule

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

What the “Stream Schedule” feature is for

The function allows you to fully automate your stream. 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
  • RSS audio
  • 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 stream runs completely on its own — the system automatically switches blocks at the right time.

“Stream Schedule” interface

The page consists of the following elements:

“Add schedule” button

Used to create a new stream 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, RSS audio, 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 stream block that you can create and configure.

Below is a detailed guide on creating a schedule.
