The now-playing panel is a working radio widget: a gradient cover card, an eighteen-bar equaliser animating on staggered delays, and three rows naming the host, the record currently playing and what follows at six. Below it the schedule is a real day of programming, including a 22:00 slot marked 'unhosted - assembled by whoever locks up'.
Doodles: Be Beautiful. Be Everywhere. - Lead exemplar. Its dreamy pastel-on-dark treatment is where the peach, lilac and mint trio came from, and it showed that a dark page can be warm rather than severe.
Laugh Mind Co.,Ltd.｜株式会社Laugh Mind (ラフマインド) - Violet-and-teal whimsy on a dark canvas. Reinforced the multi-hue accent approach, which is unusual on dark and is exactly right for a station with forty-one different shows.
Accueil - Francouvertes - A music-festival page with high-energy type on a layered canvas. Informed the schedule's density and the coloured chips that mark each show's kind.
General Condition Design Studio | Branding, Web Design in Europe - Returned in the same pass. Contributed the retro-playful register and the confidence to let the now-playing panel be the loudest object in the fold.
Clay Boan — Multidisciplinary Designer - The restrained counterweight; kept the display type from tipping into novelty.

Returned a Marquee Hero pick and the playful-dark cohort. The canonical marquee component's rule - one thought set big - shaped a headline that states the whole premise in eight words.
--night#151119A dark ground with a purple cast rather than a neutral charcoal, so the three accents feel like they belong to it.--peach#f2915eThe live colour: the on-air dot, the primary button, the currently-broadcasting row in the schedule.--lilac#a98cf0The second accent, on talk shows and half the equaliser bars.--mint#63d0a8The third, on repeats and the members figure. Three accents is unusual restraint-breaking, and it is the point: this station is many different people.--cream#f6efe6Warm off-white for headlines and show titles.--muted#9b8ea3Muted mauve for hosts, times and secondary copy.
