Scheduling | ViaRad.io Knowledge Base

The Scheduling feature allows you to set up events that play content at specific times, making it easy to create recurring show blocks.

Each event is tied to a playlist or can designate a time slot for a DJ to broadcast live.

💡 Scheduling Tips

🖱️ Drag and Drop: Quickly create a new event by dragging between hours in a day.
🕹️ Move Events: Click, hold, and drag an event to adjust its day or time.
📋 Right-Click Options: Right-click on an event to:
- Duplicate it
- View the playlist tracks for this event
- Delete the event

Duplicating an event is a great way to quickly recreate a schedule for another show using the same settings.

⚙️ General Tab

📌 Type: Choose whether the event plays a playlist or allows a DJ to log in and broadcast during that time slot.
🔀 Shuffle: Set to “Yes” to play tracks in random order.
🔁 Loop:
- Set to “No” to end the event after the playlist finishes (General Rotation resumes).
- Set to “Yes” to restart the playlist automatically.
- Note: Long tracks will replay in full when Loop is on, which may extend past the scheduled end time.
⏹️ Interrupt: Allows the event to override ongoing content and start exactly on time.
- This only works if the previous event’s interrupt setting is set to “No.”

🗓️ Schedule Tab

Recurring events let you plan your station schedule months in advance.

📅 Daily/Weekly Events: Set recurring shows that repeat on selected days until a defined end date — perfect for daily programming.
📆 Day of Month: Schedule an event on a specific date every month (e.g., the 1st of each month).
📈 Day of Week: Schedule events like the first Sunday of each month, great for special broadcasts or shows.

ViaRad.io’s scheduling works much like familiar calendar software, allowing for easy and flexible adjustments.

For example, you can create a daily event from 9 AM to 10 AM, then edit just Friday to run from 10 AM to 11 AM, without altering the rest of the schedule.
