Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about requests and the show.

How do song requests work?
Search for a song and tap Request. It joins the line right away and plays in the order it was received while the show is running. Track it under Your requests.
How long until my song plays?
It depends on how many songs are ahead of yours. Your requests shows your place in line, like “#3 in line”, and switches to Now playing when it's on.
Can I request any song?
Any song you can find, Christmas or not. It's a family show, so we play clean versions only. If a song has no clean version, it gets skipped.
How many songs can I request?
Please request one song at a time and let it play before adding another, so everyone gets a turn. Sending lots of requests quickly is blocked for a few minutes.
What does “Stay anonymous” do?
Your request shows as “Anonymous” on the Up next list and to the DJ, and your name isn't sent with it. The choice is remembered on this device.
What is a dedication?
An optional message of up to 140 characters sent with your request. Choose Private and only the show's DJ sees it. Choose On air and the DJ announces it over the speakers right before your song. On-air messages are checked first, and anything that isn't family-friendly stays private. It's never shown on the public list.
Can I request when the show is off?
Yes. Requests are saved in line and play once the show starts. Check Show status at the top for the next show time.
Does it cost anything?
No. The show and song requests are free. Enjoy, and Merry Christmas!
