What's on your AirWaves?

Broadcast, Unified.

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.

First-of-its-kind dynamic platform

One platform runs the whole station — from the audio engine to the website to the invoice.

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.

01 AirWaves Automation The Flagship Most advanced automation in radio

The most advanced broadcast automation ever built — hybrid cloud, zero installs

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.

Dynamic Sequencing & Events

  • Dual dynamic sequencers — run your air and your stream on two completely different schedules at once
  • Blackouts are easy — schedule the game on air, tell the stream to run the regular log, done
  • Exclusive event scheduler — we don't care how long the event runs, it airs as intended
  • One-step game-log send — not the complicated hot mess everyone else makes it
  • Rain-delay & cancellation signaling built in
  • "Magic" smart events — keep two pieces of imaging from ever airing back-to-back, and more
  • Dynamic oversweeping and auto-tagging of events and songs

Content Intelligence

  • Automatic marking of Intro, EOM, and even Hooks — plus Artist and Title
  • Profanity protection — analyzes every song, alerts on key words, can flag or remove (more coming)
  • New-music alerts pushed right to your automation to play out on the spot
  • Segue editors and fine playout control
  • Streaming sources with meta-trigger capabilities
  • Smart carts that automate complex, multi-step tasks
  • EAS & alerting handled in the system

Programming, Sales & Remote

  • Custom UI per user — everyone sets it up the way they work
  • Totally custom layouts, log layouts, and searches
  • World-class auto-scheduler fed by requests and tune-out tracking
  • Multiple traffic types — merge your network barter automatically
  • Sales-to-air in minutes: pay and hit air with dynamic ad insertion
  • Dynamic weather, AirLink multiparty live audio with automatic mix-minus, remote tracking
  • Remote control from tablet or phone — hear the live studio and even go live

02 AirWaves Sites · Website Builder Flagship

Your station's website, built by drag and drop

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.

  • True drag-and-drop editing with desktop + mobile views and one-click Publish
  • Three-column, multi-page layouts — fully responsive, stack cleanly on mobile
  • Full version history with instant rollback — point your own domain and go live
  • Built-in elements: dedications, presenters, top-chart voting, podcasts, events, news, weather, sports

03 Persistent Live Player · VAST Streaming

A live player that follows the listener — with ad insertion built in

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.

  • VAST pre-roll insertion on the live stream — monetize the web listen, automatically
  • Survives navigation — never cuts out as listeners browse pages
  • Live now-playing with auto album art, fully styleable to your brand
  • Works across Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Android and iOS

04 Virtual Mixer · Routing Matrix Unique

A unique routing mixer for full control of the system

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.

  • Raw / Pre / Post — three discrete program feeds off one signal, each separately routable
  • Per-strip source assignment, mute/on-off/pan, clean summed program bus
  • Live device enumeration, Apply-to-commit workflow with SQL persistence
  • Self-healing cold start — restores the entire board and routing on boot, on-air every time

05 AI Assistant Program Director · APD First in radio

An AI assistant that helps your PD dial in the sound — and won't make anything up

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.

  • "Make my overnights mellow and build energy into morning drive"
  • "I want more Gold overnight — what would that take?"
  • Proposes clock & grid changes with full simulation, preview, and approve
  • Wired to the same automation, library and scheduler that run the station — grounded in your real data

06 AirWaves App Builder

Build your station's mobile app with drag-and-drop 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.

  • Drag-and-drop layout of every app surface — your brand, your order
  • Tied to the same live stream, now-playing, and engagement tools as the site
  • Listener requests and texts arrive straight from the app into the studio

The differentiator

The only website where a banner ad bills itself

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.

07 AirTools · Broadcast Audio Processor

A full broadcast processor, running live in the engine

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.

  • Split Air + Stream finals — FM clipper and LUFS / true-peak, separately tuned
  • Per-output loudness targets for FM, HQ Stream, Mobile, Podcast and DAB+
  • Adaptive Auto-EQ and Solar Plexus bass enhancement, proprietary DSP
  • Arms on startup — processing the instant you're on air, every time

08 Auto Music & Traffic Scheduling

Program the feel of the day, not just the songs

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.

  • Shape of the Day — draw a 24-hour energy arc; the scheduler builds toward it
  • Format clocks, rule tree, and multi-day auto-build feeding the engine directly
  • Quick-shape presets and per-day or weekday/weekend curves
  • Automatic traffic scheduling, placement and reconciliation

09 Requests & Tune-Out Tracking

Let your listeners tell you what they like

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.

  • Tune-out tracking feeds the scheduler — surface what's driving listeners away
  • Clock-aware request queue with auto-air or approval mode
  • Audience Insights ranks hottest tracks (today / week / month) and request momentum
  • Cooldowns, duplicate & recently-played protection, hard-filtered public library

10 AirPhone · Guest & Interview Links

Calls, texts and live guests — straight from the browser

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.

  • Ten live lines with Screen · Hold · Air · Mute · Drop · Ban per line
  • Guest / interview direct links via AirLink — join the studio in a browser
  • Studio Chat, Banned Callers, and two-way Listener Texts in one screen
  • WebRTC caller page or Telnyx SIP trunk, per station

11 Live Syndication · LiveSend & AirVault New this week

Broadcast one show to unlimited stations — breaks and split-copy automatic

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.

  • LiveSend — one live feed to unlimited AirWaves stations
  • Automatic breaks & split-copy — local spots and IDs fire per affiliate, hands-free
  • AirVault syndication for prerecorded content — tagged, marked, delivered on schedule

12 AirVault · Backup & Disaster Recovery

A safe vault for your files — and a station that never goes dark

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.

  • Safe, protected backup of every file — secured off the studio machine
  • Fast recovery from catastrophic failure — restore one file or rebuild the whole library
  • Live backup engine at the transmitter — keeps you on air if the studio link drops
  • Stream or hand off to a second AirWaves engine and don't skip a beat

13 Distributed Platform · Local-Fast, Globally Controlled

Pure local speed, global reach

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.

  • Pure local, fast-responding — the engine runs on-site, no cloud lag on air
  • Globally distributed control — run every site from one place, from anywhere
  • Scales cleanly from a single station to a large multi-market network
  • Local resilience — a site keeps running even if the network link goes down

Why it only works as one platform

Things no one else does — built in, automatic.

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.

Exclusive Capability

Separate automation for Air and Stream — at the same time

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.

Air and Stream independent automation chains
Unique

Automatic markers & full metadata — written into the file

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.

Proprietary

Our own engine, our own algorithms

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 Studio Installs

Completely UI-based — control from any screen

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.

Per-User

Every user designs their own interface

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.
