When you launch your station with RadioKing, we provide you with a number of widgets and tools to help you grant easy listening access to your audience.
The radio player is a customizable widget that you can easily embed onto your website. It grants immediate listening access to your station, and also includes options that you can activate such as:
Once you have customized the player to the colours of your station, you’re ready to share your online radio by simply copy/pasting the generated code onto your site.
Note: Widget included in all of our Radio Offers.
Another easy way to share your online radio is via the Smartlink. It’s the easiest way to redirect users to your different anchor points! There’s no need to choose between sharing your listening link, your website, or one of your social networks. Everything is in one place.
To activate your Smartlink and copy its URL, go to the Share Tab of your Radio Manager.
Note: Included in all of our Radio Offers.
Don’t want to create a full website to share your online radio? The Radio Page is the answer! It’s a mini-site (just 1 page) that is 100% customizable to your colors, directly from your Radio Manager:
Note: Included in our Pro and Business Radio Offers (available as a paid option in our Start Offer)
When you create your radio station, we will also provide you with a listening link (also called the default link). You’ll find your link under the Share Tab of your Radio Manager. This is the link to the audio stream of your station, put simply, people will be able to listen to your radio via this link.
Note: Included in all of our Radio Offers.
Outside of our Radio Offers, we also provide other visibility tools to help you share your online radio station.
Creating a dedicated mobile app for your station is a great way to share it with your listeners. Thanks to our online app simulator, you can customize the design to your radio’s branding and see the changes in real-time. Make an app that reflects your identity by adding as many tabs as you want, such as:

Having a website is another great way to share your radio and reinforce it’s online presence. The website developed by RadioKing includes various features and modules designed specifically for radio stations:
Thanks to our online editor, you can customize your site and see the changes in real-time. Plus, it’s optimized for search engines, and includes detailed statistics!
Providing your audience with a number of different listening options is the best way to keep them coming back! Nowadays, smart speakers have made their way into the daily lives of many, so why not make a vocal app for your station? By creating your own Alexa Skill, you allow you audience to launch your radio station on their Amazon connected speaker with a simple voice command!
We even have our very own listening app that is free to download on iOS and Android. It regroups the stations hosted by RadioKing (if this option is enabled in the Settings of your Radio Manager.)
Your listeners will be able to listen to your radio station and even add it to their favourites in order to easily find it whenever they open the app! It’s a great option for people who want to listen to your radio on-the-go.
Note: All radio stations created with RadioKing can be listed on We Love Radio. The directory is also available via a browser.
Finally, let’s take a look at other ways that you can share your radio with the world.
What is an Internet directory? To put it simply, it’s an online catalogue that regroups thousands of online radio stations. Some directories are even accessible via Android TV, meaning that your listeners will be able to listen to you from their TV, or even on their connected speakers. Being present on online directories is a great way to make your station visible and accessible to hundreds of thousands of people!
