The Frequency Clock: Free Media System is an open source software system created to manage streaming audio and video channels. This unique set of software tools enables website producers to programme online 'channels' of audio or video for their websites, bringing televisual or radio-like experiences to their website. The Frequency Clock Free Media System is part of a larger ongoing project called The Frequency Clock by the online art group r a d i o q u a l i a.

The Frequency Clock Free Media System is comprised of three components: Program Database, Timetable and Player. Live and pre-recorded programs can be stored in the database and scheduled using the timetable tool. A cross-platform automatic playing device will then play the scheduled programs, either audio or video, at the appropriate time.

For KOP_2003 exhibition at FACT, the Frequency Clock created a customized timetable for Tenantspin / Superchannel, a live interactive channel produced by High Rise tenants in Liverpool, UK. Tenantspin's producing members and viewers are invited to engage in collective programming and scheduling from their past shows in the database (2000-2003, 158 shows++) for a 24-hour, 7-day around-the-Frequency Clock streaming channel.
