Optimize Control with Leader and Follower Functionality

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. You can run all of the stations from one computer or separate computers, even computers in different time zones. Leader & Follower will also interface with profanity delays to ensure all stations align perfectly.

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 will since the transitions take place in the automation system instead of downstream.

WO Automation for Radio 2.0 lets you reduce capital expenditures by letting you operate multiple radio stations from one computer. In most cases, WO Automation for Radio can be used with your computers or audio cards, too!

The End-to-End Radio Solution

WO Automation for Radio 2.0 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: Drives efficiency by enabling 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: Drives efficiency and helps 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: Drives efficiencies and helps avoid lost revenue 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.
