Description
Dial Radio is a worldwide playlist station where the listeners do the programming. Anyone can contribute a playlist and it joins the rotation, so what comes out of the speakers shifts with whoever submitted last. The stream runs continuously in AAC, MP3 and Opus, and the playlist system behind it is published as open source. There are no presenters and no fixed genre.

Contact route
a listener and contributor submission form reached from its own Contribute page, taking a playlist title, a description, the contributor's name, email, homepage and Instagram handle, a cover image upload, the playlist's source URL and a chosen broadcast slot, with validation messages throughout; the site's own stated purpose is to take listener playlists into the rotation. Plus a published team email as a mailto in the site footer, and its own Instagram account, Telegram channel and GitLab group. Routes enumerated from the site's own SvelteKit layout bundle, because the served HTML is an app shell and every guessed path returns 200.

Where
no place is stated on its own site; its own about text reads that Dial Radio is a webradio broadcasting anyone's playlists, scheduled into morning, afternoon, evening and night slots rather than broadcast live, and no frequency is stated anywhere on it

What we corrected
Nothing. This station's entry matched what its own site says, which is worth recording: a clean check is a result, not an absence of one.
What we found and did not publish
Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.
| What we could have said | Why we did not |
|---|---|
| the team email address | route types only, never contact values.
source |
| the about text as a rendered page | the site is client-rendered and returns only a shell to a fetch, so I read the same about copy out of its own JavaScript bundle

If you think something here is wrong
Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.
Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the
catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research
current as at 2026.
