CINCINNATI, Ohio – Hubbard Radio continues its tradition of thoughtful innovation with the introduction of Radio.Cloud, the world’s leading cloud-based radio operating system, in its Cincinnati cluster. The platform officially launched on 97.3 The Wolf (WYGY), marking an important first step in exploring new, more flexible operating solutions.
“Hubbard Radio is committed to exploring this technology to enhance our operations and unlock hidden efficiencies and cost savings only possible with a cloud-based system,” said Greg Strassell, EVP of Programming at Hubbard Radio.
“We’re excited and honored to work with a well-respected industry leader such as Hubbard,” said Christian Brenner, CEO and Founder of Radio.Cloud. “Collaborating with some of the top programmers and engineers in the industry to leverage our platform shows our constant evolution and proves Hubbard’s commitment to innovating day-to-day operations through cloud-based technology.”
Radio.Cloud offers a browser-based studio environment and suite of tools that enables real-time playout, efficient remote production and hyper-localized content delivery, all designed to support modern workflows and evolve broadcast needs.
“Embarking on cloud technology will enable us to change the face of traditional broadcasting/workflow systems in the studio plant and ultimately allow us to leverage our local talent and programming content efforts as needed throughout our markets in a reliable, scalable and cost-effective manner” said Hubbard VP/Engineering Dave Garner.
This initial implementation is part of a larger, phased approach across Hubbard Cincinnati properties, as the company continues to evaluate how technology can support its commitment to quality, consistency, and localism.
