25-Seven System’s Audio Time Manager Draws Sunny Review in San Diego Debut
San Diego, CA (ContentDesk) October 19, 2005 -- Between Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the local political turmoil at City Hall there has been no shortage of breaking news for San Diego station 760 KFMB AM Talk Radio to cover. The station has been able to handle the unexpected without missing a beat with the help of 25-Seven Systems Audio Time Manager. We have been using ATM daily since the July install and it has resulted in a significantly better on-air product, KFMB Engineering Supervisor John Rigg said. The best way to explain the product is an audio TiVo on steroids. ATM is a processor that lets radio stations delay the start of live programs and then catch up to real time seamlessly without loss of original content. KFMB is one of the first stations to utilize ATM on-air. It really eliminates the train wrecks caused by breaking news and live press conferences, said Rigg. That may sound like an odd concept but you never know when a press conference is going to start.
When they say 1 p.m., it could be 1:05 p.m. or 1 p.m. the next day! Rigg gave an example of how ATM is used at KFMB: In one instance, a press conference started while we were still in a commercial, so we started recording it in ATM. Once the commercial ended, we began playback from ATM. We started with 45 seconds in the buffer, at 10 percent faster play out we caught up to the live program in about 450 seconds.
The press conference got on the air in its entirety with no lost revenue. The station has given ATM high marks citing its phenomenal sound quality and the fact that the unit is very easy to use. 25-Seven Systems even responded to a suggestion by Rigg and KFMB that helped upgrade ATMs web Interface. The web interface is great for those times when standing next to the box isnt practical, Rigg said. Weve fed our ATM to and from our router for flexibility, and we can control the front panel via web browser. Flexibility has been key for Rigg and KFMB as they have had no shortages of breaking news to test ATM including city council indictments, a mayor resigning and hurricanes breaking into regular programming. We have had a myriad of press conferences here in San Diego. It has been press conference heaven here for a while, Rigg said with a laugh.About Audio Time ManagerATM allows broadcasters to create extra breaks wherever they are needed, eliminate back-timing hassles into a network feed, or introduce random starting events like press conferences, without the awkward talk up. Stations can insert IDs, commentary or additional inventory without compromising sound quality or sacrificing content.
