From the Radio World Who’s Buying what page: Alternative music station WFUV(FM) in New York City has upgraded its Broadcast Electronics AudioVault audio media management system to AudioVault 11.
George Evans, director of technical operations for the Fordham University station, told BE that the platform helps “to deliver our unique blend of programming to the number 1 market and prepare our student journalists for the evolving media landscape.”
He said the station has a “unique mandate to champion music discovery and foster an appreciation of our diverse musical heritage but also to train the university’s next generation of multimedia professionals through educational programs and practical experience.
BE said in the release that the station “is nationally recognized for its unique format of adult album alternative music, award-winning local news, and sports” and noted that it is the highest rated alternative music station in the United States.
Features of AV11 include a new AudioVault Scheduler that improves management of complex program and content distribution tasks.
AudioVault Anywhere provides control and simplified operations from connected devices, supporting remote functions including voice tracking, playlist and program management and remote broadcasts, while the CloudVault feature enables cloud-based sharing and redundancy on a scalable Microsoft Azure platform.
Users of AV11 can load content from Adobe Audition directly, eliminating data entry. And an enhanced AVWatchDog feature monitors schedules and playlists in advance and proactively notifies the user of problems.
