- AutoDJ
- Upload your music and it plays whenever you are not live. Nothing to install, and you can go live over the top any time.
- No adverts
- You pay for it, so your listeners hear your audio and nothing of ours.
- Unmetered bandwidth
- No limit on hours streamed or gigabytes sent. Your plan sets how many people can listen at once.
- HTTPS included
- SSL streams on your own hostname, so a player embedded on a secure page is not blocked.
- Live statistics

- Support from engineers
- Email us and it is read by people who run streaming servers.
SHOUTcast or Icecast, on every plan
Choose the server your listeners connect to when you start the station. Either way, every encoder works: Icecast, and SHOUTcast v1 and v2.

Questions
- What do I need to start a radio station?
- Your music, and a computer with internet for live shows. Sign up, upload some songs and your station is on air. To go live, connect free software like BUTT or FYN Broadcaster with the details we give you.
- How quickly can I go live?
- In minutes. Your first station is set up the moment you sign up, and you have 7 days to pay for it.
- Will my listeners hear adverts?
- No. You pay for hosting, so we never put adverts in your stream or take a share of your airtime. Any adverts you sell yourself are all yours.
- What plays when nobody is presenting?
- Your music. AutoDJ plays your uploads around the clock, and on the Pro and Broadcast plans you can schedule different playlists for different times of day. When a presenter goes live they take over, and the music comes back when they finish.
- What if my internet drops during a live show?
- Your station stays on air. Your music takes over within seconds and plays until you reconnect.
- How do people listen to my station?
- Every station gets its own page with a player, at fynradio.com/your-station, that works on any phone or computer. You can also put the player on your own website, and share a link that opens in apps like VLC.
- How many people can listen at once?
- From 100 to 10,000 at the same time, depending on your plan, with no limit on listening hours. If your station is full, a new listener can join once someone leaves, and you can move to a bigger plan whenever you like.
- How do I pay?
- By M-Pesa in Kenya, or PayPal anywhere, monthly or yearly. Paying yearly gets you 2 months free.
- Can I cancel at any time?
- Yes, there is no contract. Your station plays to the end of the month or year you have paid for.
- Is music licensing included?
- No. Playing recorded music on air needs a licence from the music rights organisations in your country, and no host can provide it.
- Do you help churches, schools and community stations?
- Yes. Nonprofit stations are hosted free, on the same servers as everyone else. Apply and we will review your organisation.
- Can I move my station from another provider?
- Yes. Upload your music, point your encoder at your new server details, and update the links on your website. If you are on our older listen.fynradio.com service, we move the station for you and keep your stream address.
