Recorded show to ready for air

Upload a show. StationCue does the fiddly part. It finds the natural breaks, places your sponsor spots, PSAs and station IDs by your station’s rules, and lets volunteers clean it up on any phone. Then it hands you the files your playout system needs.

Illustration with a fictional show and sponsors.

How it works

From the recording on a volunteer’s laptop to a file your station can air, without anyone opening an audio editor.

  1. 1

    Upload the show

    Drop in the recording, even a big two-hour file. Uploads pick up where they left off if the connection drops.

  2. 2

    Breaks are found

    StationCue listens for the natural pauses, sentence ends and “we’ll be right back” moments, and lines them up with your station’s clock.

  3. 3

    Spots are placed

    Sponsor spots, PSAs and station IDs go in by your rules: flight dates, how often, and keeping competitors apart.

  4. 4

    Check, polish, export

    Volunteers tidy up on any phone, a program director approves if you want that step, and you export for air.

Made for volunteers, trusted by station managers

Simple, visual editing

Cut a cough, a false start or a caller’s phone number, trim the ends and add fades, right on the waveform. Every edit can be undone.

Never lose an edit

Every change is saved on the device instantly and synced to the station within seconds. A closed tab or a dead battery won’t cost anyone their work.

Works on an old phone

The heavy lifting happens on our side. The editor only loads the bit of the show you’re working on, and uses no battery while it sits idle.

Your clock, your rules

Set ad limits per hour and per week, break times and separation rules. Presets get you started; your station decides.

Proof for sponsors

A report of every spot that ran, per sponsor, ready to invoice from. Promised three mentions a week? You can show it.

Ready for your playout

Export one broadcast file with the breaks baked in, or show segments with a break log, for the playout system you already use.

StationCue gives your station the controls and the reports. Each station stays responsible for its own licence conditions and advertising limits.

Everyone at the station, one place

Hosts and producers

Upload, fix mistakes, accept the breaks and hand in a finished show in minutes.

Program directors

See what’s waiting, listen to just the changed bits, and approve for air.

Traffic and sponsorship

A spot library with flight dates and rules, and a report per sponsor.

Station managers

Invite volunteers, set the station’s rules and output format, and keep an eye on usage.

Your station’s audio stays yours

Privacy isn’t exciting, but it’s critical. Here’s how we look after your shows.

Stored in Canada

Your shows, edits and exports are stored and processed in Canadian data centres. Additional countries are coming.

Never used to train AI

Your audio is used only to produce your station’s shows. It is never sold, shared or used to train AI models.

Tidy by default

Source recordings are removed 30 days after a show is ready for air, and exports after 14 days. Deleted something by mistake? It can be restored for 30 days.

Locked down

Encrypted in transit and at rest. Volunteers sign in securely and see only what their station allows.

Who we are

StationCue is a product of WASX Technologies, based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Privacy questions go to privacy-officer@wasx.ca.

What we collect

  • When you ask for early access: your work email, your station’s name if you give it, an optional note, and which emails you asked for.
  • When your station uses StationCue: the shows, edits, spots and settings your station adds, and the names and emails of the people you invite.
  • This website uses no advertising or analytics cookies.

How we use it

  • Contact details: only to reply to you and to send what you asked for.
  • Station content: only to produce and deliver your station’s shows. Never sold, never used for marketing, never used to train AI models.

Where it’s kept

Station content is stored and processed in Canadian data centres. We use established cloud providers for secure hosting, audio processing and email, under their own security and privacy commitments. We don’t sell personal information to anyone.

  • Exports: 14 days.
  • Deleted items: restorable for 30 days, then permanently removed.

Questions stations ask

Is this a playout system?

No. StationCue prepares the finished show and hands it to the playout system you already use, as one file or as segments with a break log.

Do our volunteers need audio editing skills?

No. Cutting, trimming and fading are a tap or a drag on the waveform, and every edit can be undone.

Does it decide our ad limits?

No. You set your own limits and rules, with presets to start from. Your station stays responsible for its licence conditions.

What happens if a phone dies mid-edit?

Nothing is lost beyond the last few seconds. Edits are saved on the device and synced to the station continuously.

When can we start?

Early access is open now. Leave your email and we’ll get your station set up.
