Full Media Elite

Native Content API Access

Export your station's news, schedules, podcasts, and metadata via structured JSON endpoints. Seamlessly feed your custom web apps, mobile applications, or third-party syndication platforms directly from your CastCMS tenant. (Note: This covers station content exports and is separate from the Football Data API product line).

Full Media Elite

White-Label & Agency Packaging

Deliver fully branded station portals to your clients without exposing third-party CMS branding. Built-in white-label infrastructure allows digital agencies to manage, package, and resell broadcast properties under their own agency umbrella.

Flexible Extensions (Add-ons)

Enhance Your Radio Subscription with On-Demand Add-Ons

Modular extras designed to extend your active Radio plan as your broadcasting needs evolve—no need to buy a second catalog. Scale features, capabilities, and capacity seamlessly.
Direct Plan Extensions: Activate targeted add-ons (such as extra languages, custom API access, or expanded data widgets) directly on top of your existing Radio subscription without forcing a full tier upgrade.
Clear Product Line Boundaries: Keep your media ecosystem organized. Broadcast, news, podcast, and data add-ons integrate directly within the Radio line, while advanced sports coverage, league packs, and detailed H2H analytics remain dedicated to the ScoreCast architecture. Pricing → Add-ons.

Extra language

Add one more public or panel locale when the package already has a language story. The full multi-language pack is a different add-on if the card does not include it.

Custom theme

Station-specific look beyond the default radio skins. Branding (logo, player, hero) is already in the panel; this is a commissioned theme.

Custom domain setup

We wire DNS and SSL. Custom domain as a capability is already on Radio Only — this add-on is the setup work, not a second hostname product.

API access

JSON out when your Radio package does not include the API module. Same capability as Full Media Elite, sold as an attachable extra.

Sports module

Attach scores to a radio site without switching the tenant to a ScoreCast package. Extra leagues and advanced stats stay on the ScoreCast add-on list.

Radio Features FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About CastCMS Radio

Everything you need to know about our broadcasting infrastructure, streaming integration, SEO automation, and module capabilities. Radio pricing.

Does CastCMS host the streaming audio encoder (Icecast/Shoutcast)?

No. You bring your existing streaming provider (such as Icecast or Shoutcast). CastCMS provides the persistent web site, seamless SPA player, news portal, and publishing stack. You simply plug your stream URL and now-playing metadata endpoints into the CastCMS admin panel.

Do IndexNow and Google Indexing API integrations guarantee fast Google rankings?

No software can guarantee rankings. These tools notify search engines instantly whenever a URL is created or updated. CastCMS hosts your IndexNow key and Google Cloud service account natively on your Radio tenant to accelerate crawler discovery. Final indexing and ranking decisions remain strictly with the search engines.

What is the "Originals" module and how does it work?

Originals is an integrated catalog designed for managing original (including AI-generated or indie) music tracks, artist profiles, lyrics, play metrics, and listener submissions. It ships natively with the Radio + News + Podcast package and above—not as a separate standalone store.

Can I enable Live Weather or Earthquake feeds without the Data package?

No. Real-time data feeds (Weather, Earthquake alerts, and Financial tickers) are specialized modules included in the Radio + News + Podcast + Data and Full Media Elite packages. Check the [Radio Pricing Comparison Matrix](/ pricing) to see exact plan capabilities.

Are Add-Ons sold as a separate standalone software?

No. Add-ons (such as extra language support, custom themes, domain setup, API access, or sports widgets) are modular extensions that attach directly to an active Radio subscription. They extend your active plan without requiring a second product purchase. (Note: Advanced sports coverage and league packs remain part of the ScoreCast architecture).

Where can I see a detailed feature comparison and prices for each Radio plan?

All pricing tiers and side-by-side feature matrices are located on our official [Radio Pricing Page](/ pricing). This features page functions as an in-depth module catalog explaining technical capabilities, rather than republishing a duplicate price list.

Will my stream stop playing when visitors navigate through different pages?

No. CastCMS Radio is built on a Single Page Application (SPA) architecture. The persistent audio player continues playing uninterrupted in the background while visitors browse news articles, podcast episodes, schedules, or gallery pages.

Can I manage multiple radio stations or clients under my own branding?

Yes. Our Full Media Elite tier includes white-label and agency capabilities. You can manage multiple client stations, hide third-party branding, and deliver fully branded broadcast portals under your agency umbrella.
