The Tool That Keeps It In Tune
Get the proper tool for the task...
Music radio stations are in the business of playing the same songs over and over. For some, the library is a few hundred. For others, it's a few thousand. The music programmer's challenge is to make it sound like the station ISN'T playing the same songs over and over. How's that done?
First, don't play any song today at the same time today it played yesterday. Second, the Recurrents and Oldies should schedule equally in all the dayparts. Third, control the spins. If the Hots are formatted to get 50 spins a week, each one should get the prescribed 50 plays. If the Recurrents are formatted for 10 plays a week, every one should get 10.
Sounds simple up to this point. But then music flow and hourly content rules come are engaged. The Fast-Medium-Slow tempo mix has to be balanced. Artist separation factors in. Then add the Segue and Sound Code rules because "this" kind of song should not play next to "that" kind of song.
When it is all handled correctly, the radio station has the sound, the feel and the flow of hand-curation 24/7. This elegant app has one goal in mind. MusicOne Makes Radio better.
This App Keeps It In Tune
Radio’s Quickest Music and Content Scheduler
Perfect Spins & Rotations
One common complaint about music scheduling apps is "...it seems to like some songs more than others. Schedules 'em too much. And these other songs hardly ever get on the playlist."
M1 does it right. If songs in the Hot Hits category are supposed to get 50 plays a week, every one get that. If the Oldies are set to play in all dayparts before repeating in any daypart, M1 makes it happen.
No Song Clustering
Clustering. That's when some songs over-over schedule in one daypart and others over-schedule in another daypart. It's a bad thing. It can lead to listeners' thinking the station "...plays the same songs too much." When you design your rotation patterns for each of your song categories, MusicONE then delivers equal and balanced play across all the hours and dayparts.
Accurate and Efficient
Music 1 users now average less than five minutes scheduling and editing each day's music log. That's 5 minutes to a seamless music and content schedule. No rule violations. No unscheduled slots. Perfect spin counts. Ideal song placement. M1 delivers music radio’s most reliably consistent song library rotations.
Consistency = Success
One of the pillars of successful music radio programming is cosistent music selection, placement and flow, hour by hour, day after day. A "Today's Hits" station should not have the four Hots that play in the 7am hour on Monday being rescheduled in that hour on Tuesday. An Oldies station should not have one hour over-populated with songs from the '00s and the next hour playing mostly '90's hits.
Music 1 Schedules It All
M1 schedules everything. In addition to delivering perfect song rotations and music flow, it also schedules the Liners, Voice Tracks, Promos, Jingles, Spot Breaks, Short- and Long-form programs and Syndicated shows. The only thing it does not schedule is the commercials. But, we have TrafficONE for that task. (..and M1 syncs smoothly with other traffic/billing apps, too.)
