[edit] Summary
Cape DJs broadcast a wide variety of songs, with each DJ having a particular style and preference. Some DJs do all-request shows, pre-arranged theme shows, or both, depending on the week. Most often, live broadcasts are done from Pocket D, although shows have been known to occur in locales such as Gemini Park, Mercy Island, Croatoa, Talos Island, and elsewhere. Before Pocket D opened, shows occurred primarily in the Paragon Dance Party and Gemini Park.

[edit] Streamholding
What is streamholding? The Cape streams music 24/7, however, there is not a live DJ 24/7 (the only exception is during Double XP Weekend where the staff works round the clock for coverage). During the times when there is no live DJ, a "streamhold" is going on. To find out if the DJ is live, simply check the title on The Cape's main site. If it says something like, "Playing in the stream," or "Streamhold," then the DJ is most likely not live. It is, however, always best to just Check the DJ Schedule.
[edit] Ads, Events, & Other Stuff

[edit] Cape Radio Street Team
Under the direction of Agent Crypto, The Cape Radio Street Team will be accepting applications for those parties interested in helping out The Cape. To learn more about The Cape Radio Street Team, please read the information here.
[edit] Requests
Some, not all, DJ's take requests. There is a DJ Library Search function on The Cape's main website. Check the schedule and listen to the show to see if the DJ is taking requests, then use the library search to see if the DJ has the song you want to hear! We hate sending e-mails back saying, "Sorry, don't have it!" Also, bear in mind that DJ's are the ones in control of their own shows. If they choose to play a request, it is their choice. Do not harass other players for the choices they make in songs.
[edit] Global Channel
The Cape has a global channel! If you desire to be a part of said channel, then please message one of the DJ's and they'll invite you to the coolest global channel based on Virtue! You can talk with the DJ's and other listeners about music, movies, builds, and more! Don't miss out on the fun!
