Broadcast Radio has announced the release of its Myriad Schedule Pro software suite.
The UK-based company said that the suite represents the evolution of its music and playlist scheduling software, replacing the existing Myriad Schedule Plus.
The most significant shift, according to the company, is its functionality as a standalone scheduling solution. Though it suggests its own Myriad Playout, the scheduler is compatible with third-party playout applications such as RCS Zetta, WideOrbit, ENCO DAD, PlayoutOne, PlayIt Live and StationPlaylist.
Myriad Schedule Pro is integrated with its Myriad Anywhere platform, which allows users to manage station scheduling remotely via a web browser.
New for Myriad Schedule Pro, the application contains a live-updating window that offers a detailed history for each track, including listener voting data captured via its Broadcast.Radio web player and mobile apps.
A tool called future moves allows music directors to automate a song’s progression as it matures within a station’s rotation — for example, automatically moving a track into a recurrent category after 50 plays.
Media packets, meanwhile, allow multiple versions of a song or a high volume of tracks by a single artist to be grouped together, ensuring variety in rotation without cluttering category decks.
Also in Myriad Schedule Pro, jingles and links can now be set to follow only songs with certain attributes. The software also features a viewer that allows multiple station logs to be opened side-by-side for comparison.
All existing Myriad Schedule Plus users will receive the upgrade at no additional cost, the company said.
