Paul (Avon) suggested the Rivendell system, which is excellent. Another one you
could try is LibreTime (https://libretime.org), which is really easy to install
and maintain. LibreTime is also being used by a lot of community radio stations
for both Internet streaming as well as FM/AM broadcasting scenarios. They also
have a lot of great documentation available to get you going quickly.

Cheerio,
