Super Hi-Fi has announced the launch of “Program Director“, what it calls “the world’s first AI-powered operating system for building and scaling amazing radio.”
Super Hi-Fi, the global leader in AI-powered radio experiences for digital music services and radio broadcasters, today announced the launch of Program Director, a revolutionary suite of radio creation tools that completely reimagines the workflow for curating, programming, and scheduling radio experiences.
Program Director is an entirely new approach to the creation of radio listening experiences. Unlike any existing radio solution, Program Director is built directly on a platform of Super Hi-Fi’s proprietary advanced Artificial Intelligence that has been trained directly on over 20 years’ worth of radio programming and production capabilities. This AI, woven deeply into the fabric of Program Director’s service layer, provides broadcast radio and digital music companies with entirely new opportunities to save time, save money, and increase the overall quality of their stations.
“Program Director was developed to be an incredibly powerful support system for the radio and music industries,” said Zack Zalon, Co-Founder and CEO of Super Hi-Fi. “We are literally pulling decades of radio production tools and technologies into one unified, cloud-based OS that transforms how radio is designed, built, and scaled. We could not be more excited to share this platform with our customers.”
Program Director is the culmination of over 3 years of work, analyzing customer needs and assessing what kinds of tools radio and digital music companies will require as their businesses and consumer demands evolve. The result is a totally novel approach to radio programming platforms, built with data and intelligence at the core of the service, and with a fresh, intuitive interface designed to provide radio programmers with the fastest, easiest way to deliver compelling listening experiences. Program Director does not require any downloadable software, working directly in all of today’s modern web browsers, and is fully cloud-based for all services and backups.
