We have taken delivery of a Professional Radio Playout system, which is a specialized software platform used by radio stations to manage, schedule, and automate the broadcasting of audio content. It plays a crucial role in controlling what goes on air, from music tracks and jingles to commercials, news, and other program segments. Volunteers will configure this over the next 4 months. This will involve loading, amongst other things, a music catalogue, Jingles, radio program scheduling and training volunteers on how to operate it.
We have also appointed a Multi Media and Marketing Manager, who has setup a Facebook and Instagram accounts for use by the Radio Station.
