The day starts from a set playlist the operator defines. That list is the spine. Listener requests go into a queue. They are not next, and they are not a time you pick.
We do not publish an advance timed playlist — no “this exact song at 9:00.” What you get on the listen page is now playing and recently played. The desk can see more.
Rules encoded in the software:
- earliest play is at least one hour after the request
- in any rolling 3-hour window: max 3 tracks from one album (max 2 consecutive), max 4 from one featured artist (max 3 consecutive)
- queue insert and AutoDJ pick both refuse violations
Live365 will host the licensed stream (library upload + their playlist/Event UI, or an Icecast source they relay). This site exports JSON/M3U as an operator checklist. Live365 does not import M3U today.
