Build a radio empire from a 500-listener startup to the dominant voice in your market. Manage 25 listeners, hire talent, handle chaos, and outmaneuver rivals in real-time strategic gameplay.
CHOOSE FORMAT
Urban, CHR, Country, Gospel, Talk-News, Classic Rock, or Hot AC. Your format determines which listeners call and how factions respond to your playlist.
START SHIFT & PICK PLAN
Choose a Broadcast Plan (Safe/Hype/Deep Cuts/Sponsor Heavy). You get 6 action slots per shift — songs cost 1, calls cost 1, remotes cost 2.
PLAY SONGS
Build momentum and vibe. Each song earns PTS, XP, Cash, and Listeners. Watch burn scores — playing burned songs triggers complaints.
HANDLE CALLERS
Listeners call in. Put the best on air — BuzzIQ generates live call transcripts. Your response affects their loyalty.
RESPOND TO EVENTS
Event cards mid-shift (2 choices, real tradeoffs). Chaos events fire randomly — transmitter failures, talent drama, rival attacks.
END SHIFT → MORNING REPORT
AI-generated overnight summary. See listener movement, rival actions, talent alerts, prayer requests. Then repeat tomorrow.

Reputation — 0–100. Rises with good calls, falls with scandals. Affects remote opportunities and caller loyalty.
XP / Level — Earn XP per action. Level = 1 + XP÷500. Level-ups restore stamina + bonus gems.
Stamina (⚡) — 5 per song, 8 for live calls, 15 for remotes. Regenerates ~1/min. At 0 = no actions.
Offense — Determines diss raid listener theft. High offense = steal more listeners from rivals.
Defense — Reduces incoming chaos damage. Good defense = smaller listener hits from sabotage.

OFFLINE EARNINGS
Away >15 min? Your station earns Cash + Listeners automatically (up to 8h). Check the idle-claim button when you return to collect.
Your audience splits into 4 factions. Each has a loyalty meter (0–100). High loyalty = more callers, more points per play, higher listener gains.
🚗 COMMUTERS

🎵 MUSIC FANS
Fresh catalog seekers. Format-matched songs = loyalty boost. Burned songs = immediate drop.

🌙 NIGHTLIFE
Late-night urban/hip-hop fans. Respond to high-energy formats and party tracks.
Every on-air session is a shift. Choose a plan before starting — it affects which callers call and which factions respond to your plays.

HYPE
+listeners, risky. Higher chaos chance. Music Fans respond big.
DEEP CUTS
Rare tracks. Music Fans loyalty +20. Nightlife may tune out.
SPONSOR HEAVY

Mid-shift, event cards draw automatically. Always 2 choices (A & B) with real tradeoffs. Example: "Sponsor wants 5-min ad break" → Run it (+$50) or Skip it (music fans +15).
Cards show faction impacts + cash/listener deltas before you commit. Your choices cascade — ignoring a chaos event escalates it.
You have 25 named listeners in your database. Each has a personality, preferred format, loyalty (0–100), and patience meter (0–100).
Hire 5–13 staff roles. Each has Skill, Ambition, and Loyalty. Rivals poach your stars. You enter bidding wars (3 rounds to counter-offer).
SKILL (0–100)
Performance quality. High skill = better show, fewer mistakes, listener loyalty. 75+ = poach target.
AMBITION (0–100)
Hunger to move up. Ambition > Loyalty + 15 = flight risk. Rivals target these first.
LOYALTY (0–100)
Attachment to you. Raised by: good salaries, non-compete, winning seasons. Sign contracts fast.
3–12 month lockout. Costs ~3 months salary. Deter rival poaches. Rivals must buy out at premium (expensive for them).

Random events hit your station. Each has response options (Fix it = $, Ignore = −listeners, PR Blitz = $$). Delay = escalation.

📰 On-Air Scandal — Talent said something bad. PR blitz ($$$) vs ignore (−reputation).
