Dig igit ital Radio matters more now

  • 65 Million HD Radio cars
  • Opportunities:
  • Podcasts/Streams On-Air
  • Ethnic broadcasting
  • Leased channels
  • Sports coverage
  • Over 2300 HD Radio stations
  • but 13,000 Analog only
  • Challenging for many:
  • Too complex? Too expensive? ROI?

Cheaper, Easier, More Flexible Air-Chain Solutions

Stereo broadcasting quickly became the “table stakes” that all FM music broadcasters needed to remain fully competitive by the end of the century. Digital broadcasting has become the 21st century equivalent of FM stereo. There was the expectation that higher quality audio would keep existing listeners for longer periods of time. That increased TSL came to pass. In equivalent dollars, HD Radio technology now costs less to implement today than converting an FM station from mono to stereo did back in 1965.

Why clo loud? V Vir irtualization vs Physical Equipment

  • Alignment with the IT industry (IP Based)
  • The source of many of our standards (incl security)
  • The source of much of our hardware
  • Customizable and Flexible
  • Workflows vary widely and can change (hybrid options)
  • Spin up and down instances as needed
  • Example: Telos Alliance Omnia Enterprise 9s
  • More future friendly as standards and operating systems change
  • Reliability/Availability/Maintainability
  • Reduce traditional dedicated broadcast hardware
  • (ie one box per purpose) for greater redundancy
  • Less wiring / fewer site visits / remote management
