Hi Danny,

We already answered this question in this very thread, but let me quote it here for you:

We are working on a true Clocks feature to automate a format like that easily and we hope to release it this year.

For the moment though you would either need to create a Playlist that is composed of the Smart Blocks for each of your content, for example, your Playlist could contain a Dynamic Smart Block that pulls 3 music tracks, a Dynamic Smart Block that pulls 1 promo, a Dynamic Smart Block that pulls 2 songs, and a Dynamic Smart Block that pulls 1 liner. When you manually schedule that Playlist, the system will populate all of the tracks for each of those types.

Alternatively, you could create the mix of content by creating a show for each type of content you wanted. As an example, you would create a show that is 20 minutes long and set to be scheduled from a Rotation that will pull in music tracks. Next, you would create a 1 minute show set with a Rotation that will pull in promos, liners, ads, etc. Then you would create a 10 minute show with a music Rotation. Then another 1 minute show for liners etc, and so on.

For either option, you would set up a Repeating show at the top of every hour with a Rotation set for your news programs.

Regards,
Alex

Great to see these new features. I think for me I would really like to see the pro version of airtime offering 320kbps stream rate. I’m also still not totally convinced that the listener stats are accurate. In the past 14 months we’ve had 4000 downloads of our London Music Radio App but listener numbers don’t seem to have gone up in by the same ratio?

In reply to Samuel.

Hi Samuel,

You can’t broadcast 2 different things at the same time with only one Airtime Pro station. Different streams are to be used for listeners with different connection bandwidth. In other words, you can optimize your bandwidth usage by streaming lower bitrates to listeners who connect with lower bandwidth, and higher bitrates to listeners with better internet connection.

Regards,
Alex

Hi
I’m trying to set both of the streams i can see in the panel of the free account but i can not modify or try them in the website the system create. i want to know if with that option i am able to stream on my 1st channel our regular programs and use simultaneously the 2nd channel to stream a different program. ex,
channel 1 broadcasting live interview with Oprah
channel 2 broadcasting live game of little soccer league – bulls vs hawks.
if it is the case, the 30Tb bandwidth will be split between the 2 streaming channels?
Please help me to understand the right way to use the option to have up to 3 streams.
Thank you

In reply to Hani Kashou.

Hi Hani,

You can use meta-tags to label your tracks and quickly filter them by just typing few starting letters of that particular meta-tag. It works much better and faster than having folders.
We are also working on new scheduler which will include Clock-wheels and that’s coming in a couple of months.
Finally, if you go to Stream Settings – you can enable loudness control by checking the Enable Replay Gain field.

Thanks,
Alex
