Media Realm provides improved solutions for broadcasters with MetaRadio 2.0

Software company Media Realm has released its new and improved MetaRadio 2.0, providing radio broadcasters with updated features to send metadata.

MetaRadio 2.0 allows radio broadcasters to send live Now Playing data to RDS RadioText+ Encoders, Digital Radio, WordPress, Streaming Servers, Websites and Mobile Apps.

The software also has the capability to connect to 30 different radio automation systems and over 39 output systems – MetaRadio also supports receiving data from unique sources, such as audio fingerprinting providers and syndication providers. 

“We are excited to introduce MetaRadio 2.0 to the broadcasting community,” said Anthony Eden, Managing Director of Media Realm. 

“This release is a significant upgrade, and positions our technology as a leading solution for radio station metadata management. The feedback from our early adopters has been amazing, and I look forward to continuing to work with broadcasters as they adopt this product for their stations.”

New key features include:

• New web-based configuration app: enhanced setup experience, creating easier ways to view, manage, and use your metadata.
• Ability to merge metadata between multiple systems – for example, taking an external program guide feed and sending it to RDS alongside your Now Playing song data, or merging Satellite now playing data during select hours, and local automation system data during other hours.
• System scheduling: allows you to enable/disable inputs at set times during the week.
• New options to include sponsor/advertiser/promotional messages in between song messages.

MetaRadio is designed by Media Realm, a small radio-focused software development company based in Sydney, Australia. 

Since being released in 2016, MetaRadio has provided radio websites to stations, including 45 Community Radio Stations in Australia, in partnership with CBAA.

“I have had the privilege of working with broadcasters of all sizes – from the smallest narrowcasters and community stations, through to large commercial networks,” said Eden.

“Their feedback has really driven the development of MetaRadio. I look forward to continuing to develop our products and add new and innovative features.”
