Audio-only reach
Audiences increasingly watch: radio without video misses digital and connected-TV viewers.
Video means extra staff
Switching scenes and handling breaks by hand adds operators to every show.
Breaks aren't digital-ready
On-air breaks aren't signaled in a way digital ad workflows can use.
Key benefits
Keep your radio operation
Hosts and programming stay the same; Station reads the automation you already use.
Breaks detected automatically
Commercial breaks are identified from the playout, with their duration, without an operator.
Markers for digital ads
Breaks can become SCTE-35 markers for compatible digital ad workflows.
Now playing in the player
Song, artist and upcoming items travel with the video as timed metadata.
Automated studio scenes
vMix or OBS scenes switch at the start and end of breaks.
Audience analytics
Player sessions, quality and errors in one dashboard.
How it works
Your studio keeps working as it does today. Station handles the video workflow.
Connect the playout
Station connects to your radio automation: RadioBOSS natively, or others through an HTTP API, XML, JSON or export file.
Wire the studio
vMix or OBS bring in the studio video with the radio audio, typically over NDI.
Encode and deliver
The channel is delivered over SRT and HLS, with break markers and metadata.
Monetize and measure
Compatible ad workflows can use the markers; analytics show how the audience watches.

Frequently asked questions
Do we need to change how the radio operates?
No. Station reads the automation you already use. Hosts and programming stay the same.
Do the on-air commercials change?
No. On air, your spots stay the same. Digital ad workflows can use the break markers for the online audience.
Which automation systems are supported?
RadioBOSS natively, and automations that expose what is on air through an HTTP API, XML, JSON or an export file. We confirm your system during the evaluation.
Does Station provide advertisers or guarantee ad replacement?
No. Station signals breaks and delivers the channel. Ad demand, ad replacement and revenue depend on your ad server, platforms and partners.
