Welcome to Atlantic Media Broadcast!
Air Traffic Control
OnAirWare and AMB – Atlantic Media Broadcast – want your station to fly effortlessly with AirTrafficControl 9.0 The latest version was introduced on 09-09-09.
AMB is currently the single reseller for the latest version of the Air Traffic Control system.
We have a smooth, easily operated and well supported automation system which is ready to plug in and make your station sound better than you thought possible. Whether you use satellite throughout the day or operate fully automated /totally walk-away or use live jocks, Air Traffic Control has it all! Need music and spot logging? ATC does it all and does it well.
Up to now, cheap systems were hard to get started, hard to understand and pricy to support… so they were NO bargain. Add up what “Cheap” software actually costs and $1,295 becomes more than $3,500! Expensive systems had good support but rerquires your staff to go to a school to learn. Why pay $3,000 as a minimum just to learn software? High prices do not always mean the best product for your staff. As we see it, other companies have “gotcha” prices but we just sell good software at great prices.
We use products of very high quality – from Dell computers with a 3-year warranty to AudioScience sound cards - which are designed to maximize broadcast audio. Truly they are “Built for Broadcast”. The production editor is fast and flexible.
Are you ready to replace an out-dated and clunky system or want a better sound? We will help every step of the way. ATC is smooth, complete and value-priced. What more could a manager, engineer or operator want?
Whether AM, an FM or a combo, whether you run hot talk or smooth jazz, then ATC will be a great addition! Dump in music and spots and go for as little as $4,289. Think of it as Christmas or a birthday, in a box, for your station! AMB includes a recording editor as an extra goodie!

Operate All Modes
* Live assist – jocks love the Intro count-down, the Exit count-down and total count-downs
* Air Drop Hot Keys - allow each jock to fill up a custom panel of bits, effects, beds, whatever would be useful, and have them instantly play on air with just a click or a keystroke Each time you record a track, you will hear the end of the previous song in your headphones, and you can decide when to start your voice, and when to start the next song.
* Automated music, news or sports. The easiest system to use with flexible network clocks; Music, commercials or both.
* Satellite mode per your requirements. Available satellite interfaces have 8 to 32 control triggers, and up to 32 audio input sources & expandable beyond that ..Call us.
When you’re finished…
* Logging - AirTrafficControl logs all on-air events and any error messages or advisories. Our Log Viewer screen allows you to read, search, filter, export, and print these "As-Played" Logs. You can also view daily Reconciliation reports to see a comparison of what played vs. what was scheduled.
Smooth and Easy
* With a single keystroke or click you can start the next event, stop the previous event (fade), stop All playback immediately (fade), or tell the system to stop after the current event and wait for your cue to begin again.
* Voice-track a day-part simply - the module is a tiny control panel that is launched from the Schedule Editor screen, which will be recorded in the standard Recorder window.
Our production Recorder
* Production includes some unique radio-specific features. The "SFX Deck" can store a list of news actualities, sounders, beds, or whatever you need at your fingertips while you are recording a file into the system.
* In addition to standard audio files, you can also create and edit Rotation, Macro, and Silent Fill (timer) files, and you can attach Rich Text Notes to any file to provide the On-Air operator with additional information, such as a live tag, contest info about a song, a reminder about this weekend's concert or live remote at a client
* Scheduling - we include the tools to manually produce daily schedules, and to review and edit your schedules after they are created by any method. Full auto scheduling with optional software.
Plus … We offer various tools and utilities such as a CD-Ripper to grab audio tracks into your AirTrafficControl system, a batch converter for making mass changes to your audio library, clocks for your screen, and more. We know that every station and every company is unique, so if you have a need for something custom, we can handle that too!
BEST of ALL, ATC is ‘Worry Free’.
The software, sound card, computers are shipped to you pre-installed and ready to go.
DirectSound / Windows DirectX - allow multiple playbacks on a single-channel playback device (i.e. a typical audio card)… handy for our demo… get better performance and reliability by not employing it, and using the functions of your professional audio card to achieve multi-play mixing. Therefore we do not enable DirectSound when we configure on-air workstations, and we do not support it for full-time mission-critical operation.
Support - As of this writing, the annual fee for support and all software updates is $450 per studio workstation. For "office" machines that use our software only for scheduling and for the "Lite" version the annual fee is $100. (For the "Lite" version, support is provided by email only.) All new systems are automatically included in the plan for the first year.
A Reminder - ATC workstations should have full-time Internet access. You will also want to have OnAirWare-approved malware (virus) protection. We currently recommend Norton Internet Security
- We reserve the right to limit the amount of support time for plan members to 4 hours per month per facility. For plan members who exceed 4 hours per month, the current rate is $50/hour.
- Hardware warranties are often available through the respective manufacturers, but OnAirWare itself does not warranty hardware, software, or service in any way.
