§NEWS AUDIO — RADIO¶
OVERVIEW¶
A live audio broadcast of the market. A voice reads breaking headlines and, on weekdays, a short roundup of the top movers every 15 minutes. It suits the times when you cannot watch a screen. Not investment advice — the roundups say so.
Path: /radio
Shortcut: None — open the NEWS AUDIO chip in the scanner toolbar or sidebar
Tier: Free
HOW TO LISTEN ON THE WEBSITE¶
- Open
tapeboard.com/radio. No account is needed. - Click LISTEN LIVE.
- Choose a channel on the page: ALL, MOVERS or MACRO.
- Press stop when you are done.
HOW TO LISTEN INSIDE TAPEBOARD¶
- In the scanner, click NEWS AUDIO in the top bar. On a phone, tap Audio in the row of scan tabs.
- In the left menu, the small speaker at the bottom turns the audio on or off from any page.
- Click it again to stop.
HOW TO CHOOSE WHAT IT READS¶
- Go to Settings, then Preferences.
- Set News audio channel to ALL (every headline), MOVERS + HALTS or MACRO ONLY.
- Use News audio volume to set the loudness in your browser.
- Calm mode stops the audio and blocks it from starting. Turn Calm mode off in the same section to hear it again.
WHEN IT BROADCASTS¶
| Time (Eastern) | What you hear |
|---|---|
| Weekdays 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM | A roundup every 15 minutes, plus breaking news |
| Evenings and weekends | Breaking macro and high-priority headlines only |
If the market data is more than 30 minutes behind, the roundup says so or stays quiet. Roundups also state that quotes can be delayed.
GOOD TO KNOW¶
- On a phone lock screen or in a car, the play and stop controls work like any media player.
- The radio page and the in-app audio are the same stream.
- Halt flashes and earnings beats are read out when they come across the news wire.
IF SOMETHING DOESN'T WORK¶
Nothing plays: press play once. Browsers block audio until you interact with the page.
It plays and then stops: check that Calm mode is off in Settings, then Preferences.
Silence at night or on weekends: scheduled roundups run only on weekdays from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Breaking news still plays.
