nextKast On-Air Fully Integrates Music Scheduler Software with its Automation System for One
Easy-to-Use Solution for Radio

San Antonio, TX, August 5, 2024 – nextKast OnAir has integrated its Music Scheduler with its automation system for superior efficiency and ease of operation. This cohesive system eliminates the need for separate scheduling software, reducing the complexity and potential for errors. Users can manage their entire playlist creation, scheduling, and automation from a single platform, significantly enhancing operational efficiency. New song-pick rule options have been developed, enhancing what is possible with the NextKast integrated Music Scheduler.


“The latest enhancements to NextKast’s Music Scheduler and its seamless integration into the radio automation system represent a significant leap forward for broadcasters,” said Winston Potgieter, Founder and Project Manager of nextKast OnAir. “These advancements not only streamline operations but also enhance the quality and dynamism of the radio product, ensuring that broadcasters can deliver engaging and compelling content with ease. By integrating our Music Scheduler with our automation system, we’re giving local radio owners and operators an easy, effective, and affordable one-stop solution.”


“The integration of the Music Scheduler with the overall automation is seamless,” stated Chuck Taylor, Program Director of KHYI, Dallas/Ft. Worth. “It saves a lot of time and reduces the chance of errors, especially with its flexible scheduling rules and real-time adjustments. The audience pleaser is a fantastic tool to keep our playlist fresh and test new music with real-time feedback.”
A short list of new nextKast OnAir features include:
Improved Import wizard from many third-party Automation systems making moving to NextKast Music Scheduler a much easier task as all Meta Data and other important aspects of the station get automatically migrated.


Improved and enhanced category management using our MobileVT web interface. Manage and move tracks, add new tracks with cue points, and check played statistics all from any web browser anywhere in the world.
The new “Pick Error Details” window indicated by the “Red Track Alert” feature in our integrated music scheduling software. These enhancements enable users to easily identify and understand why a track deviated from the scheduling rules. With this clear visibility, adjustments to resolve these errors can be made more efficiently.
