Drive Efficiencies In the Studio

With WO Automation for Radio 3.0 each jock can be more efficient by customizing their workspace to include only the tools needed to do their job. What’s more, our Widget-based architecture allows WO Automation for Radio 3.0 to interface more tightly than other systems with other broadcasting equipment you use every day, like EAS encoders, mixing consoles, telephone systems, music schedulers, and more. You can even write your own widgets to take care of your own unique needs!

WO Automation for Radio 3.0’s main screen is so easy-to-use our competitors have imitated it. We’ve made it even better with very simple yet powerful search capabilities, easy to setup instant-play hotkeys, powerful voice tracking capabilities, and more.

Optimize Control with Leader and Follower Functionality

WO Automation for Radio 3.0 includes our patented Leader & Follower feature. Leader & Follower lets two or more radio stations share common programming like music, but break apart for independent commercial breaks or longer segments. Leader & Follower keeps your station sounding great by automatically making sure the commercial breaks have the same length on all stations. Leader & Follower will also interface with profanity delays to ensure all stations align perfectly. Leader & Follower can even effortlessly play different jingles on all of your stations.

Leader & Follower is great for web streams or HD streams. You can schedule different commercials on your terrestrial and web streams, and Leader & Follower automatically does the rest, without additional expensive and complicated software or services. Plus, your station will sound better to your web listeners since the transitions take place in the automation system instead of downstream.

WO Automation for Radio 3.0 lets you reduce capital expenditures by letting you operate multiple radio stations from one computer. In most cases, WO Automation for Radio 3.0 can be used with your computers or audio cards, too!

Manage Operations In the Field, Across Markets and Beyond

WO Automation for Radio 3.0 was designed for today’s distributed radio operations.

Our complete Remote Voice Tracking functionality helps you save money by using talent in remote cities to voice track your station. Whenever a new music log is ready, WO Automation for Radio 3.0 sends the beginning and end of the song before and after the voice track to your remote jocks, and then emails the jock to let them know the shift is ready for voice tracking. When the jock records a voice track, it’s automatically sent back to the station for broadcast.

WO Automation for Radio 3.0 also includes content search and sharing. You can create “Friendships” between your markets, and each of your markets can search your other markets for content.  When you find the content you want, you can download it by using any web browser. WO Automation for Radio 3.0 even converts it to your preferred sample rate on the fly! WO Automation for Radio 3.0 also lets you push content to your other markets easily.  V3.0 can even send non-audio files between your markets.

Seamless Integration with WO Traffic

WO Automation for Radio 3.0 brings new efficiencies to Radio with our seamless interface with WO Traffic.  WO Traffic has been voted the #1 radio traffic system by the TGDA for several years in a row! Upgrade today and enjoy these benefits:

Live log editing from Traffic: Enables traffic managers to make same-day log changes directly from the traffic software and eliminating the need to re-merge today's log or restart the on-air system to receive the log updates.

Real-time reconciliation: Prevents lost revenue and compliance issues and drives efficiency by automatically reconciling spots as soon as they broadcast or fail to broadcast.

Live copy widget: Helps avoid lost revenue and compliance issues and improves efficiency by automatically displaying Live Commercial scripts on the DJ's screen. After the DJ reads the live spot, she or he presses a confirmation button that automatically reconciles the spot in traffic.

Dub List widget: Avoid lost revenue by automatically copying commercial information such as advertiser name, run dates, etc. from traffic to automation. Paper-based production orders are a thing of the past!

Automatic updates: Improve efficiencies by synchronizing run dates between traffic and automation. When a commercial's run dates or station list change in traffic, automation automatically updates the audio.

Purge list: Drives efficiency by letting traffic automatically delete outdated commercials in automation.

Canadian Content Counter
3.0 also includes a Canadian Content Counter to help our Canadian customers monitor their CRTC compliance.
