Local news, weather and traffic. Produced for air, every hour.

Build your rundown once. Reporter gathers live data for your area, writes the copy, voices it, mixes it with your beds, and hands playout a finished MP3 at the same address every time.

Morning Drive — 7:00 update

PreviewOn air0:00 / 2:02

Drag blocks in, wire the order, press Run. That’s the whole workflow.

Delivers to Zetta, DAD, WideOrbit, Radiocast Panel, or anything else that can fetch a file.

What happens when you press Run

Each block goes through the same five steps. What comes out the other end is a single file, levelled and ready for air.

  1. 01

    Collect

    Fresh headlines, the latest forecast, and current road conditions for the area each block covers.

  2. 02

    Write

    Copy for every block, in your host’s name and your station’s voice, pitched to the time of day.

  3. 03

    Voice

    Natural text-to-speech reads each script, using a stock voice or one cloned from your own talent.

  4. 04

    Mix

    Music beds duck under the read, and jingles, sponsor spots, and transitions are stitched in.

  5. 05

    Deliver

    One MP3 at a URL that never changes, with an optional upload straight to Radiocast Panel.

Built for the station, not the demo reel

Reporter takes the recurring segments that eat a producer’s morning, and stays out of the way of everything your automation already does well.

Build

See the whole rundown
Every block sits on one canvas, numbered in the order it airs. Rewire it and the show changes with it.
Timeline when timing matters
Switch a project to the timeline editor for exact start times, duration caps, and a bed under the whole episode.

Generate

Local by default
Point each block at a city or region. The copy knows whether listeners are waking up or heading home.
Safe for air
Optional family-friendly wording and numbers written out for speech, for the whole project or one block.
Your presenter’s voice
Clone a voice from a few minutes of reference audio and use it on any project (Reporter MAX).

Deliver

On the hour, or on demand
Rebuild every hour, every half hour, or whenever you press Run. Each episode is kept in your library.
One link for your automation
The latest episode always lives at the same address, so playout never has to be told about a new file.

Try the editor

This is the real editor, with the same settings every project has. Drop News, Weather or Traffic between the two blocks and wire them together. Nothing here is saved or run.

Your next update can build itself.

Reporter runs on reporter.radiocast.net, so there’s nothing to install. Create an account and have a rundown going in an afternoon. Need a station to play it on? Radiocast hosts those too.
