Only one schedule can be active at a time. Schedules can either be active, upcoming or expired.
You can create multiple schedules, add shows to specific timeslots, and even embed your schedule on your website for listeners to see what's coming up.
This guide will walk you through creating a new schedule and adding shows/timeslots to it.
Creating a New Schedule
Step 1: Navigate to Schedules
From your Studiio dashboard, navigate to Station link in the top navigation bar.
Locate the SCHEDULING section in the left sidebar
Click on Schedules
You'll see your schedules page (if this is your first schedule, you'll see an empty state)
Step 2: Click Add Schedule
Click the green + ADD SCHEDULE button in the top-right corner (or click ADD NEW SCHEDULE if no schedules exist yet)
The "Add New Schedule" modal will appear
Step 3: Enter Schedule Details
The Add New Schedule form contains several fields:
Name (Required)
Enter a name for your schedule in the NAME field
Example: "[Your Station's Name] Radio Schedule"
Description (Optional)
Add a short description in the DESCRIPTION field
This helps you and your team understand what this schedule is for
Timezone (Required)
Select your timezone from the TIMEZONE dropdown
The system will auto-detect your timezone by default
You can change this to any timezone if needed, including:
United States timezones (Eastern, Central, Mountain, Arizona, Pacific, Alaska, Hawaii)
Canadian timezones (Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Halifax, Newfoundland)
European and other international timezones
Active Date Range (Required)
Click the ACTIVE DATE RANGE field to set when this schedule will be active
By default, it's set to one year from today
Example: "November 24th, 2025 - November 24th, 2026"
Start Time (Required)
Select when your broadcast day begins from the START TIME dropdown
Common options include 6:00 AM, 12:00 AM (midnight), etc.
This defines the earliest time shown on your schedule grid
End Time (Required)
Select when your broadcast day ends from the END TIME dropdown
Common options include 12:00 AM (midnight), 10:00 PM, etc.
Tip: A typical 24-hour broadcast schedule might run from 6:00 AM to 12:00 AM (next day), or 12:00 AM to 12:00 AM (next day).
Step 4: Create the Schedule
Once all required fields are filled in, click the green ADD NEW SCHEDULE button at the bottom
You'll see a confirmation message: "Schedule added!"
Your new schedule will appear in the schedule grid view

Adding Shows to Your Schedule
Once your schedule is created, you can add shows and timeslots to fill out your programming.
Step 1: Access Your Schedule
From the Schedules page, click on your newly created schedule
You'll see a weekly calendar grid view with days across the top and hours down the left side
Empty timeslots will show as blank spaces
Step 2: Select a Timeslot
Find any empty timeslot in the schedule grid where you want to add a show
Drag across multiple time blocks to create a timeslot
The "Timeslot Details" dialog will appear
Step 3: Review Timeslot Details
The Timeslot Details dialog shows:
Day: Which day of the week you've selected (e.g., "Wednesday")
Time: The time range you've selected (e.g., "06:00 - 08:00")
Step 4: Assign to an Existing Show or Create New Show
You have two options:

Start typing to search for an existing show
A dropdown will appear with matching shows

Fill in your show details and click 'Save Changes'

Tips and Best Practices
Schedule Planning
Use consistent time blocks: Try to align shows to standard time blocks (e.g., 2-hour, 3-hour, or 4-hour segments) for a cleaner schedule
Color coding: Use a color scheme that makes sense (e.g., morning shows in lighter colors, evening shows in darker colors)
Recurring shows: Create one show and assign it to multiple timeslots using the Edit Timeslots feature
Show Details
Keep show names concise: Shorter names display better in the schedule grid
Add descriptions: Even short descriptions help listeners understand what to expect
Upload show images: Visual elements make your schedule more engaging
Date Ranges
Plan ahead: Set your active date range to cover your entire programming season
Seasonal schedules: Create separate schedules for summer/winter programming if your lineup changes seasonally
Troubleshooting
I can't see my schedule after creating it
Ensure the active date range includes today's date
Check that you've clicked "Add New Schedule" to save the schedule
Refresh your browser page
My show isn't appearing in the schedule
Verify that you clicked "Save Changes" after creating the show
Check that the timeslot doesn't overlap with another show
Ensure the day and time are correct
Check to see if your show exists via the Shows tab
The timezone is wrong
Edit your schedule by clicking the "Configure" button
Update the timezone in the dropdown
Save your changes
I need to delete a schedule
Click on the schedule to open it
Click the red "DELETE" button in the top-right
Confirm the deletion
Note: This won't remove shows within the schedule, it will remove the timeslots for them
Next Steps
Once you've created your schedule and added shows:
Embed it on your website: Use the Embed feature to display your schedule on your radio station's website
Export for sharing: Use Export PDF to create shareable versions of your schedule
Add more shows: Continue building out your complete programming lineup
Embed the schedule block: edit your Studio Panel layout to include the schedule block to keep up with current and past shows
