Cost effective solutions to streamline station operations

WO Automation for Radio can help stations of all sizes streamline operations, both in-studio and remotely, to deliver compelling programming more easily.

We understand small broadcasters face unique challenges. You need tools to help you deliver engaging, hyper-local programming every day, tools that will address operational inefficiencies. We also understand that small broadcasters are often challenged by limited financial resources, forcing you to rely on a small talent pool who must wear multiple hats and perform multiple functions.

Doing more with less​

Unlike free or low-cost radio automation solutions that often have limited capabilities and may pose security risks, WO Automation for Radio is full-featured, secure, and stable​, allowing even small stations with limited budgets to deliver high-quality, professional sound, while allowing staff to work efficiently from anywhere.

With WO Automation for Radio, small teams can:

• Access the entire in-studio experience remotely, from home or on-the-go
• Improve efficiency by integrating with other systems you use every day
• Manage station operations with a decentralized, remote staff to save on operation costs

WO Automation for Radio allows for full control of the radio automation system from anywhere with an internet connection, including remote voice tracking capabilities to provide at-home or on-the-go functionality to equal the in-studio experience.
