Weekday grid

The schedule

Seven blocks, rotating hosts, one continuous mix underneath. Whatever is live right now is highlighted.

Hosts

Recurring

Segments

Short-form features that run across every show, every day.

Multiplex

Nine channels

One station, nine music beds. Each show has a default channel — pick a different one any time and the player follows you.

House rules

What we will and won't do

Four lines on the studio wall. They decide what gets booked, what gets cut, and what never makes it past the screener.

  1. No press releases read on air. Ever.
  2. Every claim gets a number attached to it.
  3. Hype is a sound we mix out.
  4. If a guest can't explain it to the night shift, it isn't ready.
24/7

Continuous programming, no dead air, no simulcast.

9

Music channels behind a single dial position.

6

Hosts, plus one automated overnight system.

0

Sponsored segments disguised as editorial.

Continuity

LIVI, the voice between the records

LIVI

One synthetic voice runs continuity across all three Triwave stations. LIVI backsells the track that just played, sets up the next one, reads the station IDs and the sponsor breaks — in English here, in Spanish on the other two.

Every line you hear is generated from what is actually on the air right now: the title comes from the stream's own metadata, the show from the schedule, the sponsor from the rotation.

Sponsors

Who pays for this hour

Three fictional advertisers rotate across the network. Sponsored reads are announced as sponsored, always.
