Take your radio station beyond the transmitter

We help clients digitise existing analogue radio feeds and prepare them for digital listening worldwide. From studio capture and stream encoding to platform applications and launch support, we build the route around your programmes, audience and territories.

How we bring your station online

Review your station
Share your studio output, programme schedule, languages and target countries. We assess the audio source, connectivity and content permissions needed for the proposed distribution.
Capture and encode
Connect the analogue line output through an audio interface, check levels and configure the encoder. We select audio formats and bitrates to suit the receiving platforms and connection.
Prepare distribution
Set up stream hosting, station metadata and artwork. For eligible on-demand shows, prepare episodes and podcast feeds, then support applications to the selected services.
Test and launch
Check playback on target devices and in the agreed markets. Plan monitoring and backup feeds, and hand over the publishing workflow so your team can manage day-to-day delivery.
