Implementing and Benefiting from Station ‘Now Playing’ Data for HD Radio, RDS and Beyond
Patrick Campion, Sales Manager - Midwest Region, ENCO
Showing your listeners the title and artist currently playing is a great start, but it’s only a start. In the ever changing environment of metadata collection and distribution for terrestrial radio broadcasters, what types of data currently exist and what delivery methods are available? This presentation will delve into the past, present and possible future scenarios of how properly gathered and formatted data can enhance traditional broadcasts and lead to alternate means of revenue generation. Included will be details on locally generated data, rebroadcasted data streams from internet and satellite sources and other scheduled data.
