Tips

  • If you syndicate a page or blog with the On-Air Now widget, it will display the syndicated website's song information, not the information for the website it was created on.

Notes

  • Starting April 16, 2021, the "On-Air Now" widget has been updated with new settings and renamed to "Current Program."

Follow these instructions to add or update the Current Program element on your website.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Widget Name: This is the name of the widget shown in the Drag-and-Drop Editor. It will not be displayed on the website.
  2. Display Title: Choose whether you want the title displayed by selecting “Yes” or “No” from the dropdown menu.
  3. Program Description Length: Select how many characters to display in the program description. Use 0 (zero) to hide the description. The maximum is 320 characters.
  4. Display "On-Air Now" Label: Choose whether to display the "On-Air Now" label. You can hide this label to use a custom header text style instead.
  5. Display Program Time: Choose whether to display the program time. When using the ‘Compact Display’, ‘Image Overlay’, or ‘Compact Image Overlay’ layouts, selecting ‘Yes’ displays the time without the program description. For all other layouts, both the time and description are displayed when ‘Yes’ is selected.
  6. Display Listen Live Button: Choose whether to display the Listen Live button.
  7. Layout: Select your preferred layout. These layouts are similar to the Blog List Layouts.
