One platform runs the whole station — the most advanced broadcast automation ever built, a drag-and-drop website builder, VAST streaming, a unique routing mixer, an AI Assistant Program Director, a drag-and-drop app builder, audio processing, auto music & traffic scheduling, request & tune-out tracking, live syndication, and a browser phone system. The same engine that puts you on air builds your site, powers your app, and bills your advertisers.

Not seven vendors stitched together. The same engine that puts you on air builds your website, powers the app on your listeners' phones, and bills your advertisers — all connected, all in one place. Sell an ad once and monetize it everywhere: on the air, in the stream, on the site, in the app — every impression tracked and billed in one system.
AirWaves Automation runs as a true local system — the speed and rock-solid reliability of on-site, disconnected tech — while delivering the reach and scale of a distributed cloud platform. Nothing to install. No applications, no EXEs. The whole system runs in the browser, yet behaves like dedicated hardware in the rack. Easy to run, easy to recover, and built on a proprietary engine with custom algorithms found nowhere else.
It sees problems before they happen. The engine constantly self-monitors and runs forward-looking health checks — so instead of failing live, it can warn you: "the engine is showing early signs of trouble and may fault Thursday — switch to auxiliary and reboot the main now." Predictive recovery, not 2 a.m. dead air.
The first website builder built by broadcasters, for broadcasters. Element palette on the left, live preview on the right — drag an element onto the page, click it to open its settings, and what you build is what publishes. Start from a station template, then own every color, logo, font, and layout on your own domain.
A docked player bar keeps playing across every page your listener visits, streams your live audio with VAST pre-roll ad insertion built in, and shows the current track with auto-fetched album art. Now Playing reads real-time metadata straight from the stream so it never lags behind an ad break.
A complete broadcast console in the browser, driven by the real-time engine — every fader maps to a live audio operation, with the engine confirming the exact gain that reached the signal. Underneath it is a true routing matrix nothing else offers: send any bus or feed to any physical device, independently, from one screen.
Ask your station anything. The APD reads your real library, logs, scheduling rules, and clocks and answers in plain language — then suggests clock changes and grid changes to achieve the sound you're after, with full simulation so your PD sees the result before it's live. It always shows a preview and asks before it applies anything — the program director stays in control.
The same builder thinking, for the app in your listeners' pockets. Arrange the station app by dragging in the surfaces you want — live player, now-playing, schedule, requests, dedications, listener texts — and ship a branded app tied to your live stream. No app developer, no separate vendor.
Drop an Advertiser element, set the creative and click-through, and every impression and click on your site is tracked automatically and routed through AirWaves Traffic for billing — the same system that runs your on-air and network advertising. One contract, one invoice, every placement. No competitor can say a website banner bills through the same traffic system as the on-air spot.
The AirTools Broadcast Audio Processor is a complete professional on-air chain — no rack of outboard gear, no plugin sprawl. Signal flows Source → AGC → Parametric EQ → Adaptive Auto-EQ → 5-Band Multiband → Solar Plexus bass, then splits into two final stages: an Air Path with an FM loudness clipper and a Stream Path with LUFS + true-peak — each tuned for its destination. It arms itself on startup and is processing from the moment you go live.
The Music Scheduler programs the energy of the day with a draggable 24-hour arc — Flow Sequencing builds each hour toward the energy you set. Around it: format clocks, a full rule tree, and a multi-day auto-build that feeds the automation engine directly. Traffic scheduling places and reconciles every spot, so programming, automation, and air are one continuous system.
Request and tune-out tracking ties directly into the scheduler for better music scheduling. Every request is a vote, and every tune-out is a signal — AirWaves feeds both back into the rotation so your clocks reflect what's actually working with your audience. Requests respect your format: listener picks flow only into the clock positions you open, in a true managed queue, and on air a request sounds exactly like a scheduled spin, because it is one.
AirPhone is a 10-line call-in board your talent and screeners run from any browser — no hardware phone system. Callers reach you over a WebRTC caller page or your station's Telnyx SIP trunk. For interviews, a guest-login link lets a guest enter a code and join the studio session in the browser — no app, no phone number — for easy live broadcasts.
Syndicate your live station to any number of AirWaves affiliates with LiveSend. The originating studio goes out to every downstream station at once, and each affiliate's local breaks and split-copy fire automatically — affiliates drop in their own spots, IDs and local content without a hand on the board. Have prerecorded shows instead? Push them to the network through AirVault, and every affiliate pulls clean, marked, ready-to-air files on schedule.
AirVault keeps a protected, off-machine copy of your audio and content, so a failed drive, a wiped studio, or a lost machine is an inconvenience, not a catastrophe. Restore a single file or rebuild a whole library from the vault. And because AirWaves is engine-first, you can place a second AirWaves engine right at the transmitter as a live, hot backup — if the studio link drops, the transmitter-side engine keeps the station on air without skipping a beat.
Every site runs its own AirWaves engine on its own server — so on-air response is pure local and instant, with no round-trip to the cloud between a fader move and the air. Those local engines connect into one distributed platform you control from anywhere, giving you a single pane of glass over a national network or a single station. Local resilience, central command — manage one station as easily as a hundred.
Every spotlight above shares one engine, one database, one bill. That's what lets AirWaves do things the rest of the industry can't — because it was built from the engine up, in our own code.
Run your over-the-air signal and your online stream as independent, fully-automated chains simultaneously. Different ads, different content, different events firing on each — automatically, with no second system and no manual juggling. This is the single biggest gap in every other platform, and AirWaves closes it.
AirWaves detects Artist, Title, Intro and EOM and writes complete metadata and the markers themselves directly into every song — automatically. No other system sets markers in the file for you. Your library tags and cues itself.
The real-time audio engine and processing algorithms are written entirely in-house in C++ — not assembled from public libraries. That means performance, sound, and behavior we control end to end, and capabilities competitors can't license or copy.
No software to install on every studio machine, no per-seat client. The entire platform runs through the browser with custom interfaces — so any screen, anywhere, becomes a fully-capable control surface.
Drag-and-drop UI building, per user. Operators, PDs, traffic, and sales each get a surface tailored to their job — and can edit it themselves. PD lockdown keeps critical functions protected; every function is isolated and individually configurable.
A custom C++ engine drives playout with sample-accurate mixing, multi-output routing, and rock-solid timing — the core nothing else matches.
A full broadcast processing chain — AGC, multiband, EQ, bass, final limiting — applied independently to each source, not just the master.
Artist, Title, Intro and EOM detected and written into every file — markers and metadata set automatically as audio arrives.
Independent, automatic event triggers for your broadcast and your stream — different ads and content on each, at once.
Voicetrack and produce from anywhere — full production tools delivered through the browser, no studio seat required.
Format clocks, song categories, and a full rule tree — artist/title separation, sound codes, dayparting — generating balanced logs in-house.
Bring multiple live remote sources on air automatically — AirLink manages contribution feeds and switching without a hand on the board.
A full scheduling engine is built right in — no third-party software, no exporting and importing logs. Build format clocks, define your categories, set the rules, and AirWaves generates clean, balanced logs that sound exactly the way you want.
