???? What is a Radio or TV Server?

A Radio or TV Server is the dedicated infrastructure that powers your online broadcasting. It provides the streaming technology, bandwidth, and processing capacity needed to deliver audio (radio) or video (TV) content to your listeners and viewers anywhere in the world.

Radio server represents your radio. Broadcasters can have several radio servers in their account to manage several stations. Each radio server has its own music library, channels, settings, etc. There is a server switch dropdown at the top of every broadcaster account interface (next to start/stop buttons), new servers are created using this dropdown as well.
