A few minutes ago the Radio 6 portal has been updated with some nice functionalities created by me.

Visitors of the site can now easily see in the sidebar what’s playing on Radio 6 at the moment and also see which show will be next.

If the they want to listen straight away, they can click on the title of the program airing and a stream will be started. Nice and easy. If you want to see an overview of all the shows of the week, you can use the program overview link. This gives you all the info you need to listen to a show in a daily schedule.

All of this is part of a Wordpress MU plugin (bbNebo) I created for VPRO Digitaal . This plugin allows the webmasters of Radio6 to automagically import a NEBO (xml) feed. My plugin takes care of the parsing and making the data available to the template via easy to use template functions. Thanks to Klaus Hartl / jQuery (Go open source!) we have some kickass javascript under the hood which handles the user-interaction. Marten Timan took care of the templates and the new functionality came alive.
