From Radio to Monetized Video

Fast Monkey Station connects your existing radio operation to an automated video streaming workflow. Detect commercial breaks, coordinate broadcast signaling, and prepare your stream for compatible digital advertising insertion.

Animated workflow: RadioBOSS plays the radio program and sends audio to vMix and the playlist to Fast Monkey Station. Station detects a 120-second commercial break, inserts an SCTE-35 CUE-OUT marker and switches vMix to the break card. The stream travels over SRT to Fast Monkey Pass and is packaged as HLS; a compatible ad server selects a digital ad, which the viewer sees in the player instead of the radio commercial. At CUE-IN the program resumes.
RadioBOSS → vMix → Fast Monkey Station → Fast Monkey Pass → ad server → viewer.

Problems it solves

Audio-only reach

Audiences increasingly watch: radio without video misses digital and connected-TV viewers.

Video means extra staff

Switching scenes and handling breaks by hand adds operators to every show.

Breaks aren't digital-ready

On-air breaks aren't signaled in a way digital ad workflows can use.

Fast Monkey Station

Key benefits

01

Keep your radio operation

Hosts and programming stay the same; Station reads the automation you already use.

02

Breaks detected automatically

Commercial breaks are identified from the playout, with their duration, without an operator.

03

Markers for digital ads

Breaks can become SCTE-35 markers for compatible digital ad workflows.

04

Now playing in the player

Song, artist and upcoming items travel with the video as timed metadata.

05

Automated studio scenes

vMix or OBS scenes switch at the start and end of breaks.

06

Audience analytics

Player sessions, quality and errors in one dashboard.

How it works

Your studio keeps working as it does today. Station handles the video workflow.

Connect the playout

Station connects to your radio automation: RadioBOSS natively, or others through an HTTP API, XML, JSON or export file.

Wire the studio

vMix or OBS bring in the studio video with the radio audio, typically over NDI.

Encode and deliver

The channel is delivered over SRT and HLS, with break markers and metadata.

Monetize and measure

Compatible ad workflows can use the markers; analytics show how the audience watches.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do we need to change how the radio operates?

No. Station reads the automation you already use. Hosts and programming stay the same.

Do the on-air commercials change?

No. On air, your spots stay the same. Digital ad workflows can use the break markers for the online audience.

Which automation systems are supported?

RadioBOSS natively, and automations that expose what is on air through an HTTP API, XML, JSON or an export file. We confirm your system during the evaluation.

Does Station provide advertisers or guarantee ad replacement?

No. Station signals breaks and delivers the channel. Ad demand, ad replacement and revenue depend on your ad server, platforms and partners.

What infrastructure do we need?

Typically one studio PC with an NVIDIA GPU and a simple origin server. If needed, Station can run on the same PC as vMix. Exact requirements come with the package.
