• United Stations Radio Networks, Inc. announced major enhancements to Phantom Producer’s Auto-Load feature that can push customized production to a user’s on-air automation system — from any device — fully programmed. This new upgrade means programmers and producers, using a range of automation platforms including Wide-Orbit and NexGen, can load and schedule imaging via the cloud with one tap of the finger, thereby eliminating the need for real-time “dubbing” of the audio and eliminating the time and manpower usually needed to trim, time and program the piece.
As programming and production pros now cover more stations over a wider territory, the Phantom Producer App allows the freedom to work from multiple locations while still being connected to each studio play-out system. Programmers can toggle between accounts without needing to establish new connections, while jocks can rapid-fire their produced pieces into the automation as music is playing, and do so from a tablet, smartphone or computer. This announcement comes jointly from USRN EVP of Programming, Andy Denemark and Phantom Producer’s Executive Producer, Jeff Thomas — known for creating the Killer Hertz music and sound design libraries.
