How it works
How can everyone hear the same song at the same time?
Every station has an endless schedule that is worked out from the clock alone. Each browser does the same sum, so two people on the same station get the same track at about the same moment. Nothing is streamed from a server.
Is this a live broadcast or a live DJ?
No. It is a synchronised playout: a schedule calculated in your browser. The music is the same free MP3s as the rest of the site.
What is the daily programme?
The day is split into eight three-hour blocks (in UTC). Each block follows one station, from Non-Stop Christmas in the small hours to Sleep Before Santa at night. The table shows the times in your own time zone.
Does the schedule change tomorrow?
Yes. The track order of each pass is reshuffled with a fixed seed, so it differs from pass to pass but is always the same for everybody.
Can I stop it and go back to the normal shuffle?
Yes. Press Next song, tune to another station, or pick a mix, and the radio goes back to its usual shuffle.
