Trusted by 1,000's stations worldwide

Discover the unparalleled advantages of NextKast OnAir, specifically tailored for FM/AM radio automation:

Migration Assistance Included

Transitioning to NextKast OnAir is handled carefully and methodically. Built-in import tools support most major automation systems, allowing existing libraries, schedules, and data to be brought over without manual re-entry or guesswork. The goal is a clean transition with minimal disruption to on-air operations.

Straightforward Pricing Without Surprises

NextKast offers pricing that reflects a complete operating system — not a list of unbundled modules or hidden fees. You can evaluate the cost with confidence because there are no surprise add-ons

Ownership or Lease — You Decide What’s Right

Choose the model that best fits your budget and operational needs. Owning your software avoids lease disruptions and keeps you running during outages; leasing keeps updates current with predictable costs. Either way, there’s no lock-in risk.

Unified Radio Station Operating System — One Source of Truth

NextKast combines automation, scheduling, traffic, and plugins in one platform so you don’t have separate systems to synchronize or troubleshoot. That means fewer failure points and easier disaster recovery.

Ideal for stations with limited resources, this feature allows you to create lifelike, engaging voice tracks using natural-sounding AI voices. It supports scripting and integrates directly with your playlists, providing a dynamic solution for pre-recorded shows or supplementing live programming.
