 In the begin of 1999 we started to search the market for distributors of radio automation systems. After reading a lot of system descriptions and testing just as many demo installations, we finally chose the Radiohost system. We are completely satisfied with the system as it is easy to start automation with the Radiohost system. If you look at the price it has no serious competition at all. I have no doubt that the Radiohost system is the absolute best buy and I can highly recommend it to other stations. On top of it all we are very satisfied with the service provided by Radiohost ApS, this goes for the after sales services as well.

 Broadcast is highly user friendly. People who normally run away
screaming when they see a computer, is USING this system after a few
minutes of instruction. Communicator makes it easy to manage files and
directories and you will learn how to use functions like talktime,
overlap, normalize, speak, etc. in no time.

 We checked out a lot of systems before we purchased Radiohost. We could
not find a system that can handle all the things we can do with
Radiohost.  The system can handle whatever we can dream of, using it
live or automated. It's easy to use, and for such a low price, it must
be the best buy available on the market today.

 The radiohost system have remarkably helped us to improve the quality
of our evening, nights and weekend hours. The voice track function
enables us to have our top hosts on air 24 hours a day. In the day
hours our hosts can easily schedule the play list 10 or 15 minutes
ahead and hereby gain the resources to track a listener, preparing the
news etc. Reporting music royalties, is no longer a problem. The system
enables us to print out hourly reports of the log. In opposition to
many other systems the radiohost system is not dependent on specific
hardware and we have been able to choose the sound cards that fitted
our requirements and budget. The new mpeg 3 support, virtually expand
our disc capacity 2 to 4 times and now we have a huge part of our
record collection in the system.

 Six months ago we where looking for a system to replace our Wavestation
and we tested a lot of the popular systems available on the market.
Most of the systems where not very user friendly and they did not
perform as well as we had expected. By chance we discovered the
Radiohost system and this was a pleasant surprise. It had all the
features we needed and it was very user friendly. Most of our DJ's are
not very computer minded but a short introduction was sufficient for
most of our DJ's. Some of the first comments where "This is very easy
to use, much easier than Wavestation" and "Wow, this looks easy..." We
where use to poor service from our old supplier so we where a bit
anxious at this point. However, I must say that we have experienced the
best service we have ever had from a software company. We had some
special needs for Heavy Rotation and Easy Spot and these were
implemented in a short while, fast and effective. I can highly
recommend the Radiohost system to all stations who need a system that
are fully equipped with functionality and which is still cost
effective. In my opinion the Radiohost system is a strong alternative
to systems like the Dalet system and you can still keep the budget.

 I have seen a lot of booking programs in my 13 years in the business
and I must say that Easy Spot is the best I have ever seen. Easy Spot
is easy to use for first time users and it will meet the needs required
in even the most advanced bookings. After a testing Easy Spot in a few
days, we decided to convert the data from our old system to Easy Spot.
The old system had a lot of advanced features but Easy Spot is far
superior in the areas of flexibility, ease of use and data security.
One of the top most advantages is to have Easy Spot take two product
codes and a speaker into account – NOT just between the blocks but
inside the commercial block or stop set. The majority of the other
programs I have seen will only allow a single product code and a
speaker in each block. With this feature you can make a block like
this: Auto dealer – Kitchen equipment – Restaurant – Auto dealer.
Equivalent product codes will be placed as far from each other as
possible and you can setup the minimum distance allowed. The
restrictions you have made in the setup can easily be overruled and our
booking is not controled by the application programmers. The
integration to the other modules in the Radiohost system makes it
possible to use the spots as soon as they are booked and you can make a
last minute booking before going on air."

 Radio Sydhavsoerne have been using the Radiohost system since 1997 and
it is not unusual that the system is broadcasting more than 12 hours
non stop. Our experience is that the Radiohost system is very easy to
use.
Now we can voice track a program in half the time.
We can add speaks and use it live. We can also add sound effects, etc.
Our news reporters are doing their own editing, they don't need a technician anymore.
New DJs learn to voice track before they learn how to broadcast live.
We can change the schedule at any time, if we need to make changes to a preproduced program.
We have better use of our best skilled hosts, as they can preproduce a program whenever their schedule allows it.
It is a great tool for live broadcasting too.
The system is very stable when it comes to commercial booking and music scheduling.

It's a definite must for any station. It's easy to use, far cheaper
than the other makes in the world and the best part, it does exactly
the same...simply great. The first time I was shown Radiohost I knew I
needed it, and I have not been disappointed. The various modules save
significant amounts of time and money in our day to day operations. Our
presenters have adapted easily to the Broadcast interface, and it has
definitely assisted us in improving our quality of programming.
Radiohost definitely bridges the gap between community and commercial
stations.
