*Wikiradio* is a real-time audio service transmitted via the Internet. This service offers various stations, covering all genres of music and even including recordings of Wikipedia articles on different languages, all of which are available on Wikimedia Commons. Each sound is chosen by the community to be highlighted as some of the finest work on Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Commons.
What is Wikiradio?
Rather than listening to several audio files in Wikimedia Commons, which require clicking "play" one after another on each one, the wikiradio https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikiradio tools works not as a radio streaming service, but instead as a synchronized (with UTC time) set of tracks so that everybody can hear at the same time, simulating a radio. How I can add my station?[edit https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikiradio_(tool)&action=edit§ion=2 ]
1. Create a page in meta with your dayparting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dayparting with your music list like *[[Wikiradio (tool)/playlist/<my_Station>]]*ej: for clasic music station we have Wikiradio (tool)/playlist/classic https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikiradio_(tool)/playlist/classic 2. Edit the Template:Wikiradio (tool)/stations https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Wikiradio_(tool)/stations and add your station like *{{RadioUrl|<my_station>|<My_station>}}*,ej, for classic music we have {{RadioUrl|classic|Classic}} 3. Ready, now you can listen your music in wikiradio https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikiradio !!
*Note:* Alternatively, you can archive your dayparting and ask for an administrator to protect those pages.How work Wikiradio software?
Wikiradio load javascript pages dynamically from meta pages to make the dayparting. This is thus in order that the community can choose the music to be placed in these pages. Please edit the page of the station when you want hear your music.
Some ideas for stations include the spoken Wikipedia https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/spoken_Wikipedia audios, music by genre https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Audio_files_of_music and topics like ambient audio https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Sounds_of_nature. But we can do it better. Hourly, a signal is heard https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Busy_tone_(France).ogg to warn about o'clock hours, like a real radio :p. Even better we could add a "You are listening wikiradio, the free radio" spoken message every half hour, and other stuff.
Each radio station load a dayparting from a wikipage in meta like "Wikiradio (tool)/playlist/<my_radio_station>" (ej: Wikiradio (tool)/playlist/classic https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikiradio_(tool)/playlist/classic) and it could be archived.
Finally, the main station could use music to fill the gaps of a daily radio programming based on Wikimania conferences, wiki podcasts, etc. So, what do you think? Your help is welcome, picking new tracks for any station or suggesting your ideas. Thanks. (Soure here https://github.com/emijrp/wikiradio) See also

I just tried writing it, but I think this needs a blog post - there are some semi-complicated aspects of it that if explained clearly in a blog post, would engage many in the community.
I'm excited because it's a channel (finally) for FREE audio content, which means that more of it will be migrated to commons.
I'll get in touch with the creator (Wilfredor) to draft it.
