Avava Station - WordPress Radio Template

AVAVA Station – Radio Station WordPress Theme for Online and Internet Radio

Looking for a radio station WordPress theme that feels like a real broadcast? AVAVA Station turns your website into a living radio studio. Your listeners press play once, and the stream keeps going while they read the schedule, browse podcasts or open a blog post. No interruptions, no reloads, no lost listeners. It is built for online radio stations, internet radio, community and college radio, DJ crews, club radio and music podcasters who want a fast, modern and fully editable website.

AVAVA Station is a WordPress block theme made entirely of native Gutenberg blocks. You edit every page, the header and the footer in the WordPress Site Editor, the same way you write a post. There is no page builder to install and no bulky options panel to learn.

A radio player that never stops

The heart of the theme is sound. A round live radio player sits in the header of every page, and a vintage-style FM tuner lets visitors spin the dial between your stations.

• Plays Icecast, Shoutcast, MP3 and AAC streams
• Shows the live song title and artist your stream announces
• FM tuner with a draggable needle, band scanning, volume control, an 8-band equaliser and VU meters
• Seamless navigation: while music plays, pages change instantly without cutting the stream
• Add as many radio stations as you like, each with its own frequency, cover art, genre and host
• A ready M3U playlist of all your stations for VLC, Winamp and other players

Everything a radio website needs

The included companion plugin, AVAVA Station Core, stores your station in WordPress itself, so your shows and episodes stay safe even if you switch themes later.

• Radio schedule: a full weekly programme built from your shows and time slots
• On air now and up next, always calculated from your own time zone
• DJ and host profiles with their residencies, sets, guests and genres
• Special broadcasts and schedule changes, with their own RSS feed
• A calendar feed listeners can add to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook
• An automatic playlist and track log filled from what your stream plays

Podcasts and a streaming archive

Turn your shows into a lasting library. Publish podcast episodes grouped in series, with an elegant episode player, transcripts and topics, and share them through a podcast RSS feed ready for Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Pocket Casts. Listeners can continue listening exactly where they stopped. The streaming archive keeps every past live show searchable by date, show or channel, with a calendar view and downloads.

Raise money with Stripe and PayPal

Independent radio lives on its listeners. The built-in donation system accepts one-off gifts and monthly memberships through Stripe (cards, iDEAL and SEPA Direct Debit) and PayPal. Payments happen on Stripe's and PayPal's own secure pages, so no card details ever touch your server. Show a monthly goal, supporter tiers, perks and nights listeners can sponsor, all updated from real payments.

Talk to your listeners

Track requests, live chat, contact messages, show applications, DJ mix submissions, podcast ideas and newsletter sign-ups all arrive in one private Inbox in your dashboard, with e-mail alerts. Personal data can be exported or erased with the standard WordPress privacy tools, and the theme uses no tracking cookies, which keeps you closer to GDPR.

Design you control

• Full Site Editing with theme.json and Global Styles: change the accent colour or a font once, and the whole site follows
• Elegant dark mode and light mode with a one-click switch
