As I write this on New Year's Eve 2024, I want to personally wish you a Happy New Year and hope your 2025 will be as amazing as I hope ours will be.
We're so lucky to work with 1000s of radio professionals from around the globe daily. My focus on this end-of-year message is less on our company's achievements and more on our clients' successes. How they use our solutions in today's ever-changing radio industry.
There are so many more amazing examples of our clients using our solutions to create radio. But I hope you enjoy just a few of my personal highlights.
Nation Player
Nation Broadcasting launched their Nation Player website with Aiir some time ago. This year has seen a vast expansion of Nation Player and partnerships with TuneIn and more.
It brings all of Nation Broadcasting's brands and websites to a single point of entry. Making it easy for listeners and consumers to explore all of their brands in one place.
Using the Aiir CMS platform, and our locations technology, they have created an excellent platform that they are expanding to include radio stations that are owned by other operators. Although not powered by Aiir, their extensive custom mobile app is also an enjoyable experience.
WNBZ
WNBZ is a radio station based on the border of the United States and Canada. Serving the Plattsburgh, NY, and Burlington VT radio market.
Just over a year ago, they relaunched the brand as a focused Classic Hits format. Taking advantage of PlayoutONE and WebVT, they have created an excellent local radio station that serves its community in the best way possible. It's worth a listen to it's daytime programming.
They have grown with us this year, adding a website, mobile apps, and Alexa skills, amongst other things.
One of my highlights is their use of Aiir Streaming. They offer an on-demand / listen-again experience allowing their audience to enjoy their programming that has already aired on their website and via their mobile apps at a later time.
Arsenal Media
An amazing radio group based in Canada that joined Aiir this year utilizing PlayoutONE Pro and some of our new Custom VoiceTrack and Shared VoiceTrack solutions.
Syndicating the log out to their stations with custom localized VoiceTracks allows them to use talent on multiple stations at the same time, without compromising the importance of local content.
DevonAir Radio
DevonAir Radio is an FM community licensed radio station in the UK who have grown to become a leading voice in their community and growing to become a DAB broadcaster.
Andy and his team at DevonAir Radio are a great example of what a small, focused, and dedicated team can achieve. A truly great example of community radio.
Early this year we acquired RadioNewsAi.com. DevonAir Radio had been using RadioNewsAi before our involvement to assist them with additional voices on the air reading their local news.
They create RSS feeds that are curated locally to generate local news reports and then manually generate the report before it goes on the air.
The Example in the video here is from a story created by RadioNewsAi from an RSS feed and then audio created using one of our UK Cloned voices.
Happy New Year
We're excited as a team for 2025. Happy New Year to you. We look forward to working and seeing you in the New Year!
