Instant Listener Requests

Like many small scale stations, Hastings Rock automate throughout much of the night during their broadcast. This year, for the first time they will be offering the ability for listener's to make requests throughout the night and have them scheduled in automatically during the automation period by Playout. Listener's can search the Playout database via the web and request any available track for playback.

Logic inside Playout's automation sequener filters identical tracks & artists such that they do not occur too frequently and provides the ability to inject jingles and ad breaks in at given intervals throughout the automation period.

Here you can easily specify the track interval for jingles and ad breaks along with setting the minimum number of tracks that must be played before one by the same artist.
