Backbone Talk™

Powerful Talk Radio Phone System
In the Cloud, With Your Mac

A different kind of Talk Radio phone system — one without phone lines or hardware. Backbone Talk integrates smoothly to elevate production values in sports, news and talk shows in both studio and remote broadcasts.

Everything you need to take calls, screen them and put them on the air—in an easy to use, professional phone system. You concentrate on the creative and business aspects, and we provide the products to help your station prosper…on all levels. Combined with Backbone Radio, the result is a complete talk radio station that can produce professional shows locally, remotely and with callers around the globe.

 

Backbone Talk is a multi-line, call-in phone system in the cloud enabling 24/7 talk radio stations to engage their listening audience from anywhere in the world, using only a Macintosh computer, without any additional hardware. With its local/remote call screener capability, talent can focus on the conversation, while the call screener uses his Macintosh to answer, conference, block, and/or record calls. Features include inbound text from the same phone line; and a digitally integrated caller feedback line for listeners to record voice messages into Backbone Radio for later air play.
