Automation specialist Radio.Cloud is keeping it local with an addition to its suite of tools designed to customise network and local content, as well as enhance stations’ local brands.
Complementing the company’s Content Controller platform, Content Transporter is a new local service that ensures syndicated show segments are delivered directly into a station’s automation for playout, including last-minute changes. While the company says it works best with Radio.Cloud, it also integrates into all other automation systems.
Content Controller enables users to produce, manage, and distribute content for localised syndicated shows from a single platform. It uses AI to create custom and localised content, and broadcasts it directly from within the Radio.Cloud environment to encourage hyper-localisation and the distribution of national or network content. The company says that the platform has increased revenue for content creators and show hosts by enabling unlimited custom local versions of nationally syndicated shows.
