FAQ
What is the DRO?
The Decentralized Radio Organization (DRO) is our listening community dedicated to the curation of the music played on our station. They are self-proclaimed music tastemakers and connoisseurs who want to help influence the sonic vibes of WNR.
What is The Queue?
The Queue is our exclusive music discovery platform where artist submissions are auditioned for Station Rotation Consideration. DRO members listen and vote for songs they want to hear played on the station, and the top voted songs are added to the rotation.
How do you multiply streams?
What's Next Radio is powered by Stationhead, which means that each song we play on the station generates an individual stream, which is then multiplied by the number of active listeners. This means that if there's 1,000 listeners when you're song plays, you will earn 1,000 streams instantly!
Why should I submit my music?
Aside from multiplying your stream potential, you gain exposure to a whole new audience and the ability to make deeper connections with engaged fans. Also, songs that are added to the Station Rotation are added to our WNR Playlists on Apple Music, Spotify and more.
Why should I listen?
Algorithms are cool, but there’s nothing like real people! Our DRO community is passionate about organic music discovery – and we show love to music based on creativity, quality and our own personal taste. As a result, you will discover high quality, human-curated music that you may never hear anywhere else.
How much does it cost?
That’s the best part…it’s free forever! There will never be a charge to upload or listen, but both artists and listeners can benefit from the multiplied streaming revenue just by listening using Stream Tokens (coming soon).
How does the station earn money?
What's Next Radio runs off of the passion to forge a user-centric music discovery tool while generating meaningful revenue for artists who deserve it! We pay the bills by the support from our community via our membership plans and relationships with our corporate sponsors.
What is community curation?
Our definition is when a group of like-minded individuals contribute in crafting a tool, product or service that is beneficial for all who use it. Our DRO community is the heart of our curation process, and as the community grows, the music voted into rotation will continuously shape the sound of the station. Our team will concurrently remove preselected music as we add the community curated music, with the end goal being a 100% community curated online radio station.
