Add a radio station
If you run a station — or just listen to one that is missing — send us the stream address and we will check it. Global Radio carries 11,358 stations across 172 countries, and the list comes mostly from one public database that is thin in a lot of the world.
Write in whatever language you like. This page is in English because it makes promises we want to be precise about, not because we need your submission to be. A station name, a stream address and a country are enough.
The station
What we check, and what we cannot
When you press Send we open the stream address once, from a Cloudflare server, and tell you what came back. Two things will get a submission turned away on the spot, and both are facts about the address rather than about your station:
- It has to start with
https. This site is secure, and every browser blocks an insecure stream on a secure page. The listener gets silence with no error — which looks exactly like a station that has gone off the air. - It cannot be an HLS playlist (an address ending
.m3u8). The player here is a plain audio element and cannot play HLS. Most hosts publish an MP3 or AAC address for the same stream.
Anything else is accepted and queued, including a stream we could not reach. Our check runs from one datacenter, and a broadcaster who serves only their own country — or is simply restarting — looks identical from here to one that is off the air. We are not willing to tell you your station is down on that evidence, so we will not.
What happens to what you send
- A person reads it. Nothing is added automatically.
- We store what you type and what our check saw. We do not store your IP address, and this form sets no cookie.
- Your email address is optional, is used only to reply to you about this station, and goes on no list.
- Adding a station means linking to a stream you already publish. We store and re-transmit no audio. If you later want it gone, ask and it goes — see about the data.
If the form gives you trouble, plain email works just as well and reaches the same person: contact@globalradio.app.
