PlayoutONE Standard has gone free to use. 🎈🎉 It’s a big milestone for PlayoutONE, as co-founder @dbj.bsky.social explains: blog.aiir.com/making-radio...

Who's ready for Black Friday? 🥳

Two exciting days! I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at the #SRAs tonight and revealing this year’s Technical Achievement winner. 🏆

PlayoutONE and Aiir Scheduler are better together. From October 15th, keep your libraries in sync with PlayoutONE Pro v5.3. If you haven't tried Scheduler yet, sign up for free until January 2026. Find out more: blog.aiir.com/playoutone-p...

There's just a couple of days left if you're thinking of applying for the Aiir Radio Academy 30 under 30 for 2025. Get all the details and apply at www.radioacademy.org/30-under-30/

The latest from @aiir.com! Audio.co officially launched and has introduced AI commercial production! With an amazing music library from @tmstudios.com! Get started from $19 a month!!

We’re very proud to be teaming up with @radioacademy.bsky.social for the Aiir Radio Academy 30 under 30. It’s a huge accolade to be chosen and recognised by the industry, particularly early in your career. So if you’re thinking about applying - do it!

This has been a great little project to work on, which hopefully should benefit Aiir users and our support team. 🩵

🎉 Aiir Scheduler has arrived! Fully web based, nothing to install, super intuitive, and completely free to trial until September. I’d love to hear what you think! aiir.com/scheduler/

We've just shipped dark mode for our web platform. Adding support for this to a very big app isn't easy. Kudos to @jonathancresswell.co.uk Go flip the switch! 🌙

Next week, we start the 3rd cycle of 2025. Today we held the “betting table”, a meeting of our strategy team where we decide what we’re going to be working on for the next 6 weeks, who’s doing what, and how long we want to give each piece of work.

We’re just a few weeks out from launching Aiir Scheduler 😆 May 19th - and it’ll be free to use at first. If you have any questions about it, I’ll do my best to answer them here. aiir.com/scheduler for more info.

The latest edition of the @aiir.com newsletter has just landed in our subscribers' inboxes, with some big news! If you're not on the list, it's easy to subscribe: aiir.com/newsletter/

Let’s get ready to schedule.

See you Sunday for an exclusive preview of PlayoutONE v6 and the latest updates to our cloud based Music Scheduler. Use code NS14278 for a free exhibit pass.

I'm really excited to be heading to RadioDays Europe @radiodayseurope.bsky.social #RDE25 in just a few weeks. It'll be my first in a few years and I can't wait to listen, learn and connect. radiodayseurope.com Let me know if you're heading to Athens!

Our opening for a VILT stack developer closes this Friday. There's still time to apply, we don't cut the process short, so someone applying this week has just as much opportunity as someone applying weeks ago. Details: aiir.com/careers/vilt...

Having “hiring” on your LinkedIn profile or running a job ad on there, basically means recruitment agencies try and connect with you a dozen times a day. It really makes me not want to use it, but I don’t think we can _not_ be on there.

We’re also hiring for a VILT stack developer. It’s a remote position in the United States. All the info 👇🏻 aiir.com/careers/vilt...

ICYMI, earlier this week we announced we’ve been working on an integration with Bluesky for Studio Inbox and Social Publisher. I’d be happy to answer any questions about it! 🦋

The day's radio industry news, so far: - England regional shows on Global's Capital, Heart and Smooth to end, Scotland remains as-is, Wales to merge 2 regions into 1 - XS Manchester becomes Radio X 90s - Bauer have bought Clear Channel Europe (OOH)

So pleased to finally get this over the line! Was a fun little end of year project. 🥳

I don’t normally say this, but we’ve got something we’re hoping to ship at the start of next week, if we finish it tomorrow. Customers have been asking a lot for it recently. I’ll let you know if we manage it! 😅

Back at your desk for a job you hate? Calling all US based remote VILT stack developers! The company I work for is on the look out for a someone to help us smash the audio + AI market in 2025. https://aiir.com/careers/vilt-stack-developer/ #Laravel

🚨 We're #hiring a VILT Stack developer to join our team at @aiir.com, to work on our exciting AI product, Audio.co. Do you know anyone who might be interested? All the details, including pay, benefits and how to apply: aiir.com/careers/vilt...

@ricki.bsky.social has shared some of our customer success stories across 2024. We’ve got lots of exciting things to share in 2025, so stay tuned!

Our support team will be available throughout the holidays to make sure your station doesn't run into any technical difficulties, but like many radio stations at this time of year, we've made a few tweaks to our schedule.

Know your code and fancy doing some very cool stuff with AI? @aiir.com is hiring a US based developer. aiir.com/careers/vilt... #VILT #radiojobs #developerjobs #AIjobs

Deviating from my usual build in public posts to talk about the day job! The company I work for (@aiir.com) is looking to hire a US based VILT stack developer! 🎉 Some hours cross over with GMT required. Read more about the job, us and how to apply here. 👉 aiir.com/careers/vilt...

📢 We're hiring a VILT Stack developer to join our team, to work on our exciting AI product Audio.co. All the details: aiir.com/careers/vilt... Any reposts very much appreciated! ☺️

TuneIn seems to have given up. What a shame. From @podnews.net later today - a company that doesn't talk to creators, and hasn't had a method for podcasters to add to its directory for over ten months. podnews.net/article/tune...

A good move!

@martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com is an example of a great “verified” handle. Martin could’ve used a personal domain, but it would’ve been hard at a glance to know if that domain was legitimately his. Everyone knows his link with MSE so using that domain gives him instant verification.

Morning all. Reviewing subscription code at the day job today! Been a while since I've done any work on this part of the platform so got to remind myself how it works ahead of changes for some exciting stuff coming! Everyone else working on anything fun or learning anything new today?

Hope everyone has a great day at #radtechcon today! @jonathancresswell.co.uk is there representing team @aiir.com. 📻🔊🎙️💻 @radiotechcon.bsky.social

If you've never tried it, have a listen to @themediaclub.com podcast. Listen or watch, and here's a little preview...

All of Global's brands are now here and represented by domain-verified handles. @capitalfm.com @radiox.co.uk @smoothradio.com @classicfm.com @globalplayer.com etc.

An interesting read

The most productive team I was ever in was fully remote. We focused on breaking news at speed and it was much easier without the distractions of an office. For a couple of years we absolutely slayed it. Remote works really well it’s done well and the culture fits.

Android users. If you have a device running Android 15, our support team would really appreciate your help tracking down an issue. It'll only take 2 mins. Email [email protected], subject line "Android 15" - thank you! ❤️

Huge congrats to the SRA Technical Achievement award winners for 2024 from everyone at @aiir.com, Cam FM! 🎉🥳 #SRAs

It's been 10 years since my first Student Radio Awards, which definitely gave me a taste for working in this brilliant industry. I'm really proud we're sponsoring the Technical Achievement Award. Good luck to all the nominees, and have a great night!

Tonight we're in London to celebrate the Student Radio Awards. We're proud to be sponsoring the Technical Achievement Award - good luck to everyone!

It's the Student Radio Awards in London tonight, and we're proud to sponsor Best Technical Achievement. I'll be there with my @aiir.com colleagues @dbj.bsky.social @jonathancresswell.co.uk @danmartinradio.bsky.social, Lee and Phil. See you there, and good luck! 🥇🎉 #SRAs #sraawwards

We're excited to announce that we're launching the ‘Home for Radio AI’ Audio.co. In Q1 2025 Radio News AI will become Audio.co. Read More: blog.aiir.com/aiir-launchi...

Here's how to use Aiir to set up a custom Bluesky handle...

Good morning!

The Kemi case should hopefully be a lesson learnt for the media. Bizarre to see unverified journalists on here saying this site doesn’t have any verification, when X and Meta allow anyone to pay for it. Now it’s time for news orgs to start domain verifying their staff.

Except there is verification, but so far a surprising number of high profile accounts aren’t making use of it. That’s going to have to change.
