Bring your show. Keep everything that makes it yours.
Wowzaradio is a home for independent hosts — not a robot radio factory. You keep your name, your listeners, your recordings and your rights. Automation is there for the hours you are asleep, and nothing more.
What does Wowzaradio offer a radio host?
A station of your own with a public host profile, live broadcasting from any encoder or the browser, scheduling and automation for the hours you are off air, podcast hosting, listener chat and requests, and ten ways to earn — including up to 70% of your station's advertising revenue. You keep your show, your audience and your rights, and you can leave with your files at any time.

Four promises
It stays your show
Your name on the station, your voice, your playlist. We host and deliver it — we do not programme it for you, and we never pass an AI voice off as you.
You keep your audience
Listeners follow your station and your host profile, not us. Your share links, embeds and podcast feeds keep working, and you can export your audience data.
You keep your rights
You own your recordings and keep your performer and publishing rights. We generate the play logs and cue sheets you file with your collecting society.
You get paid
Up to 70% of the ad revenue your station earns, plus tips, super chats, paid fan clubs, ticketed live shows, merch and sponsorships — paid to your bank or PayPal.
What you get for your live show
- Go live from home with butt, OBS, Mixxx or any encoder — or straight from the browser.
- Hand back to automation the moment you stop, with no dead air.
- Your live shows are recorded and can become podcast episodes automatically.
- A schedule listeners can read, with your name on each slot.
- Live chat, song requests, polls, a call-in hotline and super chats during your show.
- Your own installable station app, share links and a podcast feed for directories.
Questions hosts ask
Do I have to use the AI presenter?
No. The AI presenter is optional and exists to cover hours you are not on air — overnights, holidays, gaps in the schedule. Switch it off and your station plays your rotation and your recorded shows only. If you do use it, it identifies itself as an AI host on air and everything it writes is labelled AI-assisted.
Can I move an existing show or station here?
Yes. Import your music library and past episodes, point your existing stream or podcast feed at us, and keep your show name and artwork. Your listeners follow the same links.
Who owns the recordings I upload?
You do. You grant us the licence needed to stream and distribute your station and podcast, nothing more, and you can delete your work or leave at any time.
How much of the revenue do I keep?
Stations keep up to 70% of the advertising revenue earned on their own audience, and 100% of listener tips, super chats and fan-club subscriptions minus payment processing. Merch and ticket sales are yours minus production and fees.
What does a host profile give me?
A public page at /hosts with your photo, story, city, links, stations and latest shows. It is indexed by search engines, listed in our host directory and linked from every station you run, so listeners can find the person rather than only the stream.
What does it cost to start?
Nothing. The Hobbyist plan is free forever with automation, scheduling and a public station page. Paid plans from $19 a month add live broadcasting, more storage and the earning tools, with a 14-day trial and no setup fee.
