Backbone Networks is transforming radio production and broadcasting with the help of “the Cloud”. Our innovative services are aimed at helping existing AM/FM stations achieve greater production values while lowering operating costs and capital expenditures. Backbone also creates 24/7 online radio stations for companies, organizations, and seasoned radio veterans that want a turnkey station with minimal infrastructure.
For existing AM/FM stations
Backbone provides the cloud-based service tools to:
- Take on-air phone calls from listeners—with a real talk radio setup
- Team up with guests and co-hosts in other cities, live, in studio quality
- Have your roving correspondents report live with just an iPhone or iPad
- Invite after-hours voicemails from listeners (“Crank Line”) for on-air play
- Schedule syndicated shows—through Backbone’s network in the cloud
For totally new stations
Backbone Networks is turning radio “inside out” compared to the traditional broadcast model. Forget about producing live over-the-air programs from a confining terrestrial radio studio, and then “simul-streaming” them. Backbone gives you the freedom of the Cloud. Your Station Anywhere.
