Quick-start your own internet radio station with smart broadcast automation and streaming
About Airtime Pro
Airtime Pro is a cloud-hosted internet radio platform from Sourcefabric that combines a media library, show scheduling, live DJ switching, and AutoDJ with hosted streaming. Each station gets a built-in radio microsite, embeddable player and schedule widgets, podcast hosting, and listener statistics, so community, college, and independent broadcasters can get on air without running their own servers.
