Dial Global chooses NewsReady to launch NBC Radio News Network
If you are a Dial Global affiliate, you are likely now carrying NBC Radio News on your station. Beginning in April, Dial Global's Washington DC newsroom began using our NewsReady electronic newsroom system to air in-house produced hourly newscasts with NBC hosts. Using their NewsReady newsroom with our "Clip it" clip production system (with Adobe Audition), Dial Global publishes hundreds of actualities to the NBCAudio affiliate web site each day. Clip it provides the means to generate clips on breaking events without interrupting a recording in progress so clips can be made available to affiliates while news is still breaking. NewsReady newscasts are put together with embedded audio clips, recorded, and then aired using the NewsReady Onair screen. Clips and metadata are shot up to the NBC Audio website with our integrated web publishing feature, greatly minimizing the steps required to re-purpose content online. Clip it is FREE and included with our NewsReady newsroom Version 10. |

Tip of the Month: How to run two WireReady users on ONE computer at same time
Ever want to run TWO or more WireReady screens on the SAME computer? Add /m to the shortcut you use to start the program and you can have more than one "user" running at the same time. No new licenses are required. It's free and easy to do with Version 9 and later. This can be very handy. A news person can constantly keep a copy of the wires open and in view and do everything else in the other window, or have two CLIP IT recordings running, or On-air users can voice track in one session while keeping their eyes on the running log in the other. And if your computer has two monitors attached, it's like getting a two for one with your computer.

National Latino Broadcasting and ControlReady adds TRIPLE overlapping, voice tracking & console remote control for SiriusXM channels 146 and 147
On SXM Channel 147 En Vivo,  in AUTO walkaway mode, ControlReady cross-fades the elements according to the voice tracks. In MANUAL mode during live studio times, the host hits any of the three new TAKE buttons to manually control the exact timing of the airplay. It works naturally with their air console, letting them control which fader "takes" the next event. The system interfaces with NLB's SAS 32KD router and Rubicon console surfaces, so the host can also hit the ON button under each fader to take the next event. The TAKE buttons work with the mouse as well as a variety of audio consoles and also accept standard GPI, serial or TCP. |

Put your billing and traffic system in COMPLETE control of your ControlReady automation system
With Version 10 it is now possible to configure your traffic system clocks to COMPLETELY control the times, frequency and duration of your spot breaks along with any switching schedules, without having to maintain separate daily automation clocks and playlists in the WireReady system. Our new Playlist Builder capability lets you define mini-macros in our software. Macros are simply small snippets of playlists that form clocks and logic blocks that are common to your schedules. Automation directives can be placed in the template of most traffic systems that correspond to these macros. In this fashion, instead of pulling in just spots, the traffic log controls switching, logic, and even comments you want your hosts to see on our screen. f you'd like to try out this new way to control your station, contact our support department. It can be done in parallel so you can try before committing. This new capability is free with your current support plan or free if you don't have support now and decide to renew a plan. |
