On Air Radio Planner

The advanced stand-alone planner is capable of composing playlists of any style and type. Its many features allow you to direct your playlists towards your listeners, thereby increasing your listenership and advertising revenue.

Playlist generator

Playlist can be generated manually or automatically and can be changed at any time, even during broadcasts. This especially comes in handy during live-assist broadcasting. After each alteration, the player recalculates all start and end times of the items to make sure that news items and commercials still start at the correct time. You are able to compose, store and load an unlimited amount of playlists in advance. Playlists may contain any kind of item, ranging from music to pre-recorded interviews. You can manage a playlist by inserting commands. Commands are items that perform certain tasks automatically, for example controlling external equipment, broadcasting news every hour or import/export commercial breaks.

Scheduling Rules

With the use of scheduling rules you can manage all the rules that define your playlist. The rules are elaborate en flexible so you can create playlists, which are adjustable to your wishes and those of your listeners. The scheduling rules are basically used to set the rules to which the playlist has to comply. With priority checks you can define which rules have priority over others, so your playlist won’t have internal conflicts. You can also create templates to make the scheduling of rules easier and more efficient. Templates are used to indicate at what hour of the day, which rules should be used. The large number of features allows you to direct the playlist towards your audience and thus increase your listenership and advertising revenue.

Library

The library has advanced features for the storing of information about music, performers and musicians. Items are easily found with the help of quick search fields or advanced filters. It is possible to store a great deal of information about each item in the library. It is also possible to indicate which RDS/RDBS messages should be broadcast with each item.

The Cue Point Analyzer: This is a very useful tool. With a click of the mouse, On Air Suite analyses all the items in your database and automatically sets all the cue points.
