Genius Day Savannah posted on May 13th, 2014

l&lThe MusicMaster road show continued this month when the lovely and talented Marianne Burkett, along with Joe Knapp tagging along, paid a call on our friends at L&L Broadcasting in historic Savannah, Georgia. With the song Georgia On My Mind firmly stuck in our heads the whole time, this MusicMaster Genius Day Workshop was jam packed with helpful hints and deep tips and tricks. Our gracious hosts, Allison (Zoey), Ryan, Tim, Tony, and Gabe taught us all about southern hospitality while we taught them a few things about MusicMaster. How cool is that? We LOVE live and local radio, which is why we’re so fond of these particular radio stations. Check out their Facebook page here.

More Than Just Music – Scheduling Promos/Liners/Events with MusicMaster posted on May 8th, 2014

More and more stations around the world are starting to use MusicMaster not only for music scheduling but also for the professional handling of their station’s on-air promotion activities. The benefit they see is in taking advantage of the already built-in and vast amount of functionality that MusicMaster offers when it comes to content management and scheduling. They use MusicMaster to schedule their jingles, liners, promos, and voice tracks.

Gunnar Astrup, Head of Music at Alsterradio 106.8 in Hamburg /Germany: “Thanks to the possibilities in MusicMaster, it was an obvious decision for us to start outsourcing and professionalizing the scheduling of our station’s on-air promotion.”

If you are interested in knowing more about the different options of using MusicMaster besides music scheduling, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.
