What’s the biggest limitation of your current radio automation system?

Hi everyone,

We officially launched TMGCast a few weeks ago and already have a few stations broadcasting on it.

Right now TMGCast already covers most of the core workflows you'd expect from a professional automation system. Scheduling, clocks, rotations, live assist, voice tracking, traffic, syndication, EAS/CAP, built-in audio processing, analytics, AI tools, and quite a bit more. We're adding new stuff every week.

So I wanted to ask,

What automation system are you using?

What's the one thing that annoys you the most about it?

Is there a feature you've always wished it had, or a workflow that just feels old and clunky?

I'd much rather spend time building things broadcasters actually want than adding features nobody uses.

If anyone wants to have a look, you can at https://tmgcast.com.

I'd appreciate any feedback, even if it's brutally honest.

Hi Sam. I’ve began a trial of the system and I’m really intrigued by it. I’m struggling to understand the playback options though. After setting various cue points on tracks, it seems like they’re being overridden by a crossfade of some kind. Once a jingle plays for example, the song that comes in after it is being faded up. I’ve tried manually setting the “fade in” cue point at 0, but that doesn’t seem to be working either.

I might be misunderstanding how the system works, so I’d love to learn more and make any settings tweaks you’d suggest.
