Share a station with other locations
By default, a Pandora station is only available the location that created it. You can share it with other business locations by changing Station Access to one of the following:
Private: the station is only available to the location that created it
Global: the station is available to all locations within the account
Under My stations, users will see their own private stations alongside all global stations.
The Account Owner can see and edit all private and global stations across the account.
Keep the following in mind for global stations:
Only the station Creator and Account Owner have the ability to edit or delete a station.
Only the station Creator and Account Owner have the ability to thumb up/down tracks.
A Global station can’t be set Private if it’s currently assigned to a zone.
Important fine print
Company Selections vs. Pandora Settings
Pandora stations are not restricted through Company Selections. Rather, go to Pandora Radio Settings to restrict locations to a limited set of Global Pandora stations. Locations with Select only can only access global stations and can't create their own.
Features under development
A few features are still under development:
Pandora stations cannot yet be added to Daypart schedules or Mix Stations.
Pandora is not available on Sonos devices.
We'll let you know as soon as these features are available.
Content ratings
Pandora stations are not rated for maturity. While you should not hear explicit lyrics, songs may contain mature or offensive themes. However, there are many family-friendly, easy listening, and instrumental stations available.
