Audio-first broadcasting is becoming richly visual, personalized, and platform-driven—demanding new automation, metadata, and delivery architectures. This session explores three complementary advances: broadcast-grade visual radio automation that brings television-quality production to live talk shows with minimal staffing and new monetization options; engineering best practices for in-dash visual platforms that are redefining radio’s role in connected vehicles; and affiliate-based channel creation, where regionalized linear channels are assembled locally using ABR feeds, scheduling data, and dynamic manifests. Together, these papers show how broadcasters can scale visual experiences while improving agility, reliability, and revenue.
