XRadio OnAir: where the Live Producer supervises

Live broadcasting represents radio’s magic – genuine people-to-people connection through pure audio. Hosts, journalists, guests, and audiences all connect when audio flows, creating a blend of emotions and experiences.

Your schedule is ready and the show begins, but live means unpredictable: breaking news, extended calls, important topics suggested by guests. Radio programs are complex entities where many things happen simultaneously within the studio. Real-time flexibility and adaptation are essential.

XRadio provides the tools to adjust timing or modify elements while on-air. Its assistance during these critical moments makes all the difference.

Record

XRadio is the perfect platform for saving any production – from full-day live shows to simple podcasts, from complex recordings to live events for replay requirements. Find files, export them, or reschedule across one or multiple channels. Use tags to locate any audio element or search by date and time.

Control

XRadio grants complete control over all channels operating simultaneously while creating and scheduling continues. Monitor the general status of all audio outputs, oversee operations, determine when action is required, and play directly to any point in your programming.

Streaming 

Whether XRadio streaming channels are simulcasting or completely different, overseeing them all is effortless. Preview schedules, search tags, check special events or programmed split advertisements, and evaluate the consistency and variety of your radio’s web presence.
