If you’re looking to move
your radio station off of Live365, this short FAQ will help you decide
if Airtime Pro is right for you:
What is Airtime Pro?
Airtime Pro is an online radio hosting platform, which includes our
best-in-class radio scheduling software, expandable storage, stream
hosting,
a page for your radio station,
widgets for your own website,
TuneIn integration,
podcasting/on-demand streaming, a facebook widget and more. Our
software allows you to broadcast 24/7 with automated, pre-scheduled
shows, and broadcast live at any time with Icecast-compatible software
like
Mixxx. Airtime Pro supports an
unlimited number of DJs per station too. Lastly, most Airtime Pro plans
come with built-in live chat support, so you can easily reach our
support team if you get stuck.

Show off your station with a built-in dedicated radio player page.
Will my stream be licensed to webcast music in the United States?
Airtime Pro does not charge or pay royalties for the use of
commercially released music, or any other copyrighted works. You must
cover any royalties which you may be required to pay. However,
Airtime Pro is fully compatible with streamlicensing.com,
so if you wish to webcast commercially released music to listeners in
the United States and/or Canada, we recommend that you contact this
service to arrange SoundExchange, ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and SOCAN licensing
as a small webcaster. Please note that talk stations and other
webcasters which exclusively stream their own, original content are not
generally obliged to pay streaming royalties.
Where is your service based?
Airtime Pro is administered and hosted by
Sourcefabric in Europe, with a development office in Canada.
Do you provide a custom player?
Airtime Pro comes with an
easily embeddable player widget, but you are free to use any Icecast-compatible player widget on your own website, such as the
MUSES Radio Player, and customize that to your liking.

How many listener hours can I stream?
Our plans allow you to
stream to a certain number of listeners at the same time, but also
limit the total streaming bandwidth your station may consume in a given
month. For example, our Starter package offers up to 400 listeners
concurrently.
To offer these high concurrent listener limits, we also limit the
total bandwidth your streams may use within a calendar month. This
balance means you don’t have to worry as much about hitting your
listener cap if you get a sudden surge in popularity. For example, our
Starter package currently comes with 3 TB of bandwidth per month, which
is equivalent to about 100,000 listener hours per month when streaming
at a quality of 64 kbps.
How many hours per month can I broadcast live for?
Unlimited.
How many DJs can I invite to join my station?
Unlimited.
What kind of support do you offer?
All plans include email and ticket support provided by our dedicated support team, and some plans even include live chat support too (
find out more about our plans.) Our support team is available from 07:00 – 22:00 UTC Monday – Friday.
Do your plans include Icecast streaming?
Yes. Each plan comes with our own Airtime Pro streaming services
included, which are based on Icecast. Airtime Pro can also be configured
to broadcast using a third party Icecast server.
Do I need desktop software? A mobile app? How do I stream live?
Airtime Pro runs in the cloud, so scheduling playlists can be done
entirely from your web browser. If you’d like to do live broadcasting,
then you’ll currently need to download an Icecast-compatible source
client like
Mixxx (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux). To broadcast through Airtime Pro from your mobile phone, we recommend
BroadcastMySelf (Android) or
KoalaSAN (iOS).
