OpenBroadcaster

OpenBroadcaster is an open-source web-based scheduling, playout and emergency broadcast system for community radio stations and IPTV networks.

OpenBroadcaster has a simple and effective web-based automation system with scheduler to conveniently manage your station from just about anywhere, through the creation of content lists that can play out over both terrestrial or internet radio and TV, using a mobile-friendly ‘drag-and-drop’ interface.  Setting up repeating content, such as station identification, public service announcements or advertisements is “point and click” easy.
