Listener patterns are changing in a major way. 47.2% of the UK now listen to digital radio. Terrestrial stations are now broadcasting shows out online. Now we will show you how to broadcast FM radio online using Radiolize. Give your broadcast station an edge and flexibility then you might not have with your current setup.
This is how your radio station might look now
Traditionally you have an broadcast studio. It consists of a desk, microphones, and analog inputs like CD players and a playout computer. This will handle the automation of your station.
Your computer will have a big music library which DJs can use for a live assist. You will also use this to continue playing out audio when there is no one around, e.g. overnight.
Now that is absolutely fine. You can use Radiolize without changing any of this as you can keep your current setup. Normally your output gets transmitted via a transmitter or mast somewhere. This might be on your site, it might be on a hill, but it doesn’t really matter. The point is that you have a broadcast going out from your studio to your local area via a radio transmitter.
Radiolize can act exactly the same as your terrestrial radio transmitter. It takes your audio and broadcasts it out across the internet. In order to do this, you have to install a bit of software. It gives you access to the audio output of your desk. What it does is sends it out across the internet and then Radiolize handles the distribution.
Radiolize acts a bit like a transmitter in a conventional radio setup. The cool thing about this is you can still keep using your play out software and hardware like microphones, processors, and mixers already setup. This configuration is taking the existing feed and broadcasting it online. Radiolize handles a load of your listeners, just like the mast would do in a traditional analogue radio setup.
At Radiolize, once you sign up and subscribe to one of our packages, you can have your radio setup and online in 5 minutes.
All you need is, after you created an account and get a package on Radiolize, downloading this lightweight software to your computer.
Know who is listening to your broadcast
Radiolize also provides you with detailed statistics. Track live listeners, who listened at selected time range and how they are listening. Whether they listen to your broadcast on a mobile device, desktop or home entertainment system like SONOS. You can see all of this in your browser at home on a laptop or if you are out and about on your phone at Radiolize Studio. We also look at how long people listen to your broadcast. All of this is presented to you in lots of nice easy to understand graphs. We are not giving you raw log data or anything like that. You can see at a glimpse how many people have tuned into your station and how they have been listening.
