Community Radio Plus is making the listening experience better than ever with new features that put listeners in control of their favourite shows and stations.
COMING SOON
Radiothon Notifications: Boosting Support for Your Station
Supporting community radio stations is about to become easier! With the upcoming new radiothon notifications feature, stations will be able to notify their followers about upcoming fundraising events directly through the app. These alerts help listeners stay informed and engaged, making it easier for stations to spread the word and secure much-needed donations. Stations can request promotion for upcoming radiothons by getting in touch with the CBAA Online Services team at least 4 weeks before a radiothon, and must supply promotional material and relevant links for use in promotions.
OTHER NEW FEATURES
Show Reminders: Never Miss an Episode
Listeners can set up reminders for their favourite shows. They can choose between a single reminder for a specific episode or set weekly reminders so they’re always ready when their favourite program airs. It’s as simple as tapping the reminder bell on a show or podcast to get notified when new episodes drop.
Indigenous Placenames
Community Radio Plus has introduced a new feature that allows stations to display their Indigenous placenames on their station screen.
My Queue: Customise Your Listening Experience
With the new My Queue feature, listeners can now create a personalised playlist from various podcasts, allowing them to pick episodes from different shows, reorder them, and make an ideal listening mix.
Enhanced Push Notifications
Enhanced push notifications now include images and direct links to stations or individual podcast episodes.
Toast Messaging for Better User Experience
We’ve added toast messaging to improve app interactions. These subtle, brief notifications appear in response to certain actions, making it clearer and easier to navigate through the app.
New Podcast Player Controls
Managing podcast episodes has never been easier! We’ve added a new Up Next button to the Podcast Player screen, giving listeners the ability to reorder and manage episodes from Podcasts, Downloads, or My Queue.
Direct Access to New Episodes
Podcasts with new episodes now display a bell icon, making it easy to spot fresh content.
