Platform Transforms Radio Segments into Web Video for Immediate Monetization and Distribution, Providing Radio Stations the Same Opportunities Enjoyed by both TV Broadcasters and Video Producing Newspapers

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Critical Media today announced that Syndicaster, the leading real-time broadcast-to-web video platform, will now power the news video and automated transcription for the radio industry. In today’s increasingly digital world, radio broadcasters can leverage Syndicaster to create and distribute radio content for immediate online monetization.

“The radio industry has some of the best live news and interviews of any media but, after airing, much of that content vanishes into thin air”

“The radio industry has some of the best live news and interviews of any media but, after airing, much of that content vanishes into thin air” says Sean Morgan, CEO of Critical Media. “With Syndicaster for Radio, stations can monetize their audio assets across all web syndication platforms by searching image banks for photos they want to append to audio segments in order to turn them into web videos. We’re confident that Syndicaster will positively impact the radio industry just like it has the television broadcast and newspaper industries thus far.”

For radio organizations looking to monetize audio assets across web syndication platforms, Syndicaster offers a simple, proven solution. With just a username and password, radio broadcasters can access their over-the-air feed to immediately create discrete clips, add video or photo slideshows, title, tag, publish, distribute and syndicate these segments in real-time. Additionally, the platform creates text transcripts from the best-in-class voice to text technology making all radio segments searchable.

Editing audio segments is as easy as clicking on words in the transcripts generated by the voice-to-text engines that timecode each word to its moment in audio – providing the easiest audio editing ever seen. Syndicaster’s one-click publishing system allows for immediate monetization and distribution to your website, podcasts, YouTube, mobile devices and any other distribution platform.

Syndicaster launched earlier this year in the newspaper and television broadcast industries and is already used by more than 25 percent of news producing television broadcasters and major media companies including The Journal Register Company and impreMedia.
