Media-Check
The fastest way to know if your media is ready to air.
Are you....
- Losing revenue from missing audio/media?
- Running the wrong spot because of production
errors?
- Waiting until the Traffic Department finishes
loading their logs before you can do a missing audio/media report?
- Learning about missing or incorrect media too late
to fix it?
- Running spots after the kill date, or before the
start date?
- Running a 60 second spot in a 30 second slot?
Media-Check can help you solve all of these issues.
What is Media-Check?
Media-Check is an add-on module for Power-Link that reads the traffic log
before it is loaded into your on-air system, and checks the status with your
on-air system to be sure that all media is ready to run. No more late night
surprises.
Media-Check Features:
- Checks the on-air library and compares it to the
traffic log to find production issues before the log is loaded.
Media-Check compares:
- Media Present (does the spot exist?)
- Duration (is the actual spot close to the
stated length?) You decide how close is close enough.
- Title (is the title the same, or close?)
- ISCI Code (does it match the traffic system?)
- Start and End Dates (is it ok to run this spot
tomorrow?)
- Prints a report listing which discrepancies you
wish to see. Click here to
view a sample report.
- Automatically sends an email to you with the
report you want to see, and CC's the appropriate person. Do you want a
report with every issue to go to Production, but just the duration
issues to go to Programming? Should your Sales Manager see any issues,
or just the date issues? Does your Business Manager want to see every
issue, or none at all? Media-Check will notify the right person
automatically, so these issues can be resolved before it's too late.
