How do I create an AI radio station with Tunio?
Sign up at cp.tunio.ai, click 'New stream', pick a genre or describe your station in a prompt ('cozy jazz café radio with weather every 30 min in English'), and Tunio assembles the playlist, schedule and AI hosts. Hit 'Go live' and your station starts streaming in minutes — no hardware, no DJs.
Is it really free to create an AI radio station?
Yes — you can start a free Tunio account and build a working AI radio station with curated music and AI hosts. Paid plans add things like commercial public-performance rights for venues, custom domains, YouTube push and higher AI generation limits. For most creators, the free tier is enough to launch a real station.
Can I stream my AI radio station to YouTube 24/7?
Yes. Tunio outputs a stable RTMP feed that you can point at YouTube Live as a continuous 24/7 broadcast. We have a step-by-step guide — see our blog post 'How to make a 24/7 music live stream on YouTube' for a full walkthrough.
How do AI radio hosts work?
You pick a voice from Tunio's library (different genders, ages, accents, moods) and define show segments — intros, weather, time checks, song dedications, sponsor reads. The AI host writes and voices each segment in 20+ languages, blending naturally between tracks. You can edit any script, regenerate any voice line, and update the schedule live.
Can I embed the AI radio station on my own website?
Yes. Every Tunio station gets a free public page and an embeddable player you can drop on any website with a single line of HTML. You can also point a custom domain at your station (radio.yourbrand.com) and customize colors, logo and metadata.
What music genres are supported?
Most mainstream genres — lo-fi, jazz, electronic, pop, rock, hip-hop, classical, ambient, world, country, instrumental and many more — plus business-specific moods like 'upscale restaurant', 'morning café', 'fitness energy' or 'spa relax'. The AI mixes adjacent styles for variety without breaking the station's identity.
Can I add my own jingles and station IDs?
Yes. Use Tunio's built-in AI jingle generator to create branded spots in under a minute, or upload your own audio. Schedule jingles by daypart, after every N songs, or at fixed times. The same system handles sponsor reads, promos and station IDs.
