The backbone of radio These are the companies that make up our technology ecosystem

T

he Radio World editorial team is pleased to present your 2026 Sourcebook & Directory.

It lists approximately 250 companies that supply hardware, software and services to the radio broadcasting, streaming and associated audio industries. We also included related industry organizations and associations.

The book is meant to be a resource to help you find a company quickly when shopping or seeking tech support. It can also help you learn which companies offer what types of services.

Years ago you may have come here looking for suppliers of cart machines or transmitter tubes. Now perhaps you’re seeking products for streaming or tools that are based in the cloud and in artificial intelligence.

If familiar vendor names have left over the years through mergers or closures, they’ve been succeeded by the likes of relatively newer ones like CloudJuncxion, Inrush, Quu, TruNorth and Amazon Web Services, just to name a few.

Yet you will also find many companies that have served this industry for decades and helped form the backbone of our technology sector.

The companies in the directory are those that responded to our solicitations. Find them alphabetically in the Vendor & Product Directory section starting on page 23. A crossindex helps you find companies by type of product or service, starting on page 18.

On pages 4 to 17, sponsors highlight key products in the Profiles in Excellence section. And starting on page 40 are sponsored reprints of stories that appeared in the magazine, on our website or in our ebooks.

My colleagues Elle Kehres and Nick Langan did much of the work on the listings you’ll find here. My thanks to them, and to the advertisers who make it possible for us to publish this resource for you.

How radio wins the arms race for attention It’s a case of authenticity vs. AI Writer

Dan McQuillin Managing Director, Broadcast Bionics

40

Below Solutions like BionicScribe help producers and presenters keep pace in real time.

I

n the AI era of synthetic voices and algorithmic content, one thing stands out above all else: authentic human connection. And that’s where radio wins.

We’re no longer just competing for audiences and attention with other stations, or even AI clones of traditional radio formats. Today, we’re up against hyper-personalized chatbots and adaptive content engines that learn from every interaction. They’re designed to sound personal but are optimized for addiction and attention instead of connection and community.

At Broadcast Bionics, we believe the future of radio lies in amplifying human creativity, not automating it away.

That’s why we focus on Augmented Intelligence, smart tools that support broadcasters instead of substituting them.

Even the most creative workflows are typically around 80% process and only 20% creativity so Bionics builds tools that strip away the 80%, freeing humans to focus on the creative 20%, not the other way around.

Nothing Bionics is developing is ever generative or artificial, because while AI can stream endless silos of personalized content, radio offers something profoundly different: a shared experience, built on real-time conversation, unpredictable interaction and

genuine audience participation.

Radio doesn’t just broadcast, it connects everyone listening to the same show at the same time together. In this new landscape connection and engagement isn’t a feature; it’s our compelling competitive edge. By drawing listeners in and making them part of the show, we create community and deliver something no machine ever can.

Our solutions like BionicScribe help producers and presenters keep pace in real time, transcribing, summarizing and surfacing the best moments from live calls, WhatsApp messages and social media interaction. It’s not about replacing talent, it’s about giving them superpowers so they can respond faster, and engage more deeply.

One of the greatest challenges broadcasters face is the sheer speed at which AI tools and technologies are evolving. Traditional studio technology and workflows, which have remained largely unchanged for decades, are falling further behind every day.

MOR>, our Multi Object Recorder, bridges that gap by allowing existing broadcast studios to seamlessly integrate emerging technologies without replacing hardware or retraining staff. MOR> brings agility to legacy infrastructure, enabling broadcasters to innovate at the pace of AI. All Bionics tools are built specifically for broadcasters: secure, on-premise and optimized for media content.

Unlike generic AI platforms, Bionics’ solutions are deeply integrated into broadcast workflows, respecting privacy, editorial control, compliance and the fast-paced nature of live production. This means stations can adopt cutting-edge technology with confidence, without compromising their values or their content.

This is how we cut through all the noise in the arms race for attention — by empowering human teams to do what only they can: connect, empathize, surprise, inspire. The more synthetic the world becomes, the more valuable authentic human presence becomes.

The temptation is to use AI to compete on cost. But audiences aren’t crying out for more content, they’re longing for authenticity. For trusted voices, meaningful stories and communities they can belong to. What radio offers audiences is not just information, but invitation: to belong, to hear and to be heard.

In a world of limitless content, we need radio because we need each other more than ever.

Nautel powers coverage for 100 kW NPR station KRPS gains stability and clarity to serve the Four-State Area

P

ittsburg State University’s 89.9 KRPS(FM) is the 100 kW NPR affiliate serving southeastern Kansas, southwestern Missouri, northeastern Oklahoma and northwestern Arkansas, commonly known as the Four-State Area.

A financial grant enabled what General Manager Fred Fletcher-Fierro described as a major upgrade to the station’s studios and transmitter site.

For 35 years, KRPS primarily aired a classical music format. In January 2024, it transitioned to all-news.

“Our plan was to use HD subchannels for classical music and the BBC World Service, but we needed a new transmitter,” he said.

The station’s old transmitter had long suffered from myriad issues, keeping engineers busy diagnosing problems as they arose. After evaluating the capabilities of the HD-capable transmitters on the market, Fletcher-Fierro said KRPS opted for the Nautel GV40.

He described the unit as capable out of the box.

“Its built-in HD capability was a key factor for me,” he said. KRPS also benefits from the transmitter’s on-screen diagnostics and its remote control and management features.

“After all the issues we faced with the old transmitter, knowing that Nautel can remotely access our GV40 and troubleshoot potential problems immediately is a relief,” Fletcher-Fierro said. He praised the manufacturer’s customer support and responsiveness, calling it superior to that of other companies with which he has worked.

KRPS’ biggest challenge during the GV40 installation was unloading it from the truck at the transmitter facility. Once the staff managed the transfer, Fletcher-Fierro reported a smooth process, aided by KRPS Engineer Jerry Tibbetts’ experience with Nautel installations.

The GM said KRPS had already removed its old transmitter and the station was operating at reduced power. “Restoring full power as quickly as possible was our top priority,” he said.

The results from the GV40 have drawn some positive listener feedback, according to Fletcher-Fierro. “The audio quality has improved, even on our non-HD content,” he said. He noted that KRPS previously experienced reception dropouts in parts of the Four-State Area, but those reports have ceased.

At a station where everyone wears multiple hats and juggles various roles, he said, investing in a robust transmitter was a smart decision.

100% Radio embraces virtualization with WorldCast 42

MPX over IP delivered a needed, agile approach to feeding its sites

T

www. worldcastsystems. com/en/

he French network 100% Radio, which broadcasts a contemporary hits format with regionally focused content, operates 16 separate program feeds across 50 FM frequencies and 16 DAB+ frequencies, according to its website.

As the network expanded, challenges mounted as it tried to scale efficiently with hardware-heavy infrastructure. Each feed required dedicated audio processors at multiple locations. The network said it became harder to guarantee consistent audio quality across its locations.

Seeking a more agile and centralized approach, 100% Radio identified WorldCast Systems to adopt a virtualized MPX over IP transport from the studio to its multiple transmitter sites.

Now, the network said it uses a software-defined architecture

powered by APT IP codecs and APTmpX technology.

Audio processing for each feed is handled in the 100% Radio studio using Omnia.9 software processors.

Their MPX outputs are routed directly to the virtual APT IP codec in a containerized environment.

The virtual codecs perform MPX compression and transport using APTmpX. The three-format approach this offers allows sound integrity while reducing bandwidth usage at each site.

radioworld.com | 2026 Source Book & Directory

The network said it uses several kinds of transmitters. For legacy models, the MPX over IP stream is decoded by an APT Silver Decoder with a BNC output to feed the existing transmitter via analog MPX. It has also transitioned several of its sites to the WorldCast Systems Ecreso FM AiO Series, in which the APT IP decoder is already built-in as software.

Any packet loss, 100% Radio said, has been effectively mitigated by enabling APT SureStream’s built-in redundancy. It said that even with a single IP path, reliability improved significantly. It also cited the resilience within the APTmpX algorithm.

The setup is monitored through Kybio, WorldCast’s vendoragnostic platform.

As the French network looks to continue to expand throughout the country, it believes it has both simplified its infrastructure and future-proofed its operations without sacrificing quality.

Sage looks to the future of EAS Price says now is the time for software-based alerts

Randy J. Stine

Below Harold Price is shown speaking at a 2023 FCC event in a video from C-SPAN.

More Info sagealerting systems.com

W

hen Sage Alerting Systems announced it would no longer produce an Emergency Alert System hardware encoder, the NAB and other alerting stakeholders took notice.

As we have reported, NAB’s petition urging the FCC to allow software-based EAS mentioned Sage’s prominence, and several commenters called it a reason to expedite a decision.

“NAB highlights the risks broadcasters face, now that only one EAS device vendor that produces the required ENDEC device remains,” wrote Cox Media Group. Another commenter called the decision a red flag. “Apparently it is no longer profitable for small manufacturers to build and support a very unique system with a small customer base.”

According to Sage, the decision stemmed from difficulty in acquiring parts to build new units. It continues to offer hardware repair, user support and software updates.

President Harold Price said Sage is working towards a more sustainable future that includes simplifying hardware requirements and potentially eliminating them entirely. “The goal is to more fully integrate EAS into the broadcast environment, not relegating it to the periphery, as had been common since Sage’s first EAS product in 1996,” he said.

He answered questions via email this spring: What do existing users need to know about Sage support?

Harold Price: We continue to offer support via phone and email. We will continue to provide software updates as needed, for example, our free update for the new Missing and Endangered Persons event code and some other improvements will be out [shortly]. We also provide hardware repair for the model 3644 ENDEC.

How long do you expect to be able to provide parts and support for the 3644?

Price: We have parts on hand for end-of-life components for several years, based on past repair rates. Not all repairs involve these parts, of course. We intend to continue to support software in the 3644 as long as it is needed.

Sage supports NAB’s petition. Describe this shifting landscape from hardware to software solutions.

Price: The reality is that the broadcast industry will continue to require its technical staff to accomplish more with fewer resources. This trend is driving a need to reduce integration complexities, including wiring, the overall number of hardware boxes, analog/digital format conversions and protocol compatibility.

Software-based Portable People Meters are often mentioned as a recent success in removing the need for a standalone hardware device. PPM algorithms are integrated into existing audio manipulation devices.

An EAS encoder/decoder is more complex. It includes handling data from legacy EAS FSK data, FEMA CAP servers, local alert origination and selection filtering and FCC requirements, but the overall concept is the same.

The industry has been asking for an option for EAS virtualization for several years. The recent NAB petition is a reflection of the increased pressure to modernize the Part 11 rules to permit virtualization and to allow for co-hosting EAS with other broadcast elements within devices like audio processors, playout systems and transmitters. EAS might run in a hardware card; a virtual machine or container in a server; or in a small standalone unit. There are other considerations, such as cybersecurity and compliance with the various EAS protocols. This is not something that requires years of study, the issues are known.

It is time to expand the options beyond the current regulations.

You told the FCC that Sage would bring software EAS products to market if the commission makes changes to the rules.

Price: Yes, if the FCC changes the rules to permit EAS virtualization, we would bring a product to market quickly.

Several use cases would require collaboration with nonEAS equipment manufacturers — we expect they would allocate development resources once rules changes are in progress.

We also realize that some stations prefer the existing standalone approach. It is possible that Sage would develop simplified hardware to meet those needs.

Consoles offer nearly infinite mobility and control What will the future look like? “Pretty much whatever you want”

A

s technical support engineer, John Davis supports Wheatstone installations and commissions dozens of studios every year. He has more than 20 years’ experience in broadcasting, including support roles with Logitek and automation company OMT Technologies as well as on-air with Cox Radio’s Houston stations.

44

What is the most notable console trend, and what’s coming?

John Davis: Most studios I walk into these days have a lot of variations of what was once served by the traditional console as many of us remember it. There are small turret-like and rackmount mixers, and entire consoles under glass on touchscreens or fader wedges of one console connected together. Even what looks like a “standard” console isn’t really, because we now have soft controls on that surface that change with the show or talent or station.

The definition of the console and how it looks and where you can access it has changed radically. The console that many of us remember from even a few years ago had a singular purpose: It served one station in one studio and everything was hardwired in. That worked, but it was very limiting, and it wouldn’t work today with all these new demands being placed on the studio.

Today, if you have AoIP studio access, you can do pretty much anything from the console — whatever that looks like, whether it’s on a touchscreen on your laptop or an actual turret in a rack.

We don’t have to look too far to see the future. Think about it: A guest can sit down to a talent interface and a producer can sit down to a virtual mixer on his laptop

Above John Davis

or you can sit down to the same console you sat at yesterday, and with one control it can be totally changed with new sources, mix minuses and TB, etc. You have any imaginable amount of mobility and control. The technology and the surfaces, and the networking, are all there. So what will the future of consoles look like? Pretty much whatever you want it to look like.

What are the implications of software- and cloud-based mixing?

radioworld.com | 2026 Source Book & Directory

Encore Article Davis: In the same way that cell service is important to the iPhone, IP audio access is important to consoles. We can see — and we’re developing toward that inevitability — a future when it’s an everyday occurrence for a producer from anywhere to interact with his talent from anywhere.

We have many of the pieces, like server software for streaming as well as connectivity protocols like RIST, which is widely supported by the industry. RIST is used in our Blades and streaming appliances for reliable, fast connectivity that will be important to real-time applications like remote mixing that comes with inherent delay.

Just as important, we have high-speed links popping up in major metro areas, in part because of cloud providers, and that’s the kind of access that is making studio connectivity from anywhere so practical.

How has the evolution into control surfaces changed the way engineers plan an installation?

Davis: Not that long ago you needed a studio for every station and a fader for every source in that studio. That started to change when AoIP came along, and now you have every source on every fader. At the same time we started to integrate automation systems into the AoIP, so that when I hit the button to put my live show on air, the automation comes in and lays out all the faders and away we go. That changes the way we think about consoles and about studios.

The number of studios needed today is largely determined by how many live shows and events happen at one time, not by the number of sources and signals needed. Instead of a studio for every station, you can have one main studio for every two or three stations and a smaller “budget” studio that serves multiple purposes.

An increasingly common multi-station layout includes two large studios with LXE or L series console surfaces for staggering morning and afternoon shows, and a smaller studio with a more value-priced console surface such as our DMX for voicetracking and producing the occasional live news or sports event.

What new features and capabilities should we be aware of?

Davis: In the past, just about everything you needed to do in the studio was done manually from the controls and faders on the console. Now, a lot of that is automated in the background through the AoIP system. There are hundreds of background logic and routing routines going on under the hood of the console. Little things like panning a camera when a console fader is up and the mic is live make a difference, or “automagically” getting the proper return feed to the codec based on its destination. You can literally sit in front of any console and pull up a codec, and the right mix-minus will automatically and magically be routed to the return feed.

Also, while remote mixing isn’t new, it’s now becoming

the norm. Having your mixer on a laptop and being able to access it anywhere has moved from “nice to have” to “must have” for many stations.

What does scripting make possible?

Davis: It takes all of what you have on the console surface and makes it routable and controllable. For example, for one recent project, board talent needed a way to quickly switch between callers, reporters and guests for a live show. Inrush integrators programmed the OLED buttons on an LXE panel to run scripts locally on the panel itself as a way for talent to page through options to talk to callers, reporters, guests and hosts in other studios. If the microphone is on, the intercom shows up in the headphones and if the mic is off, it shows up in the cue speaker. Small, yet significant customizations like this make a world of difference.

“ ” What’s a notable recent installation?

Davis: I recently commissioned a high school station that stuck with me because it shows how much

The definition of the console and how it looks and where you can access it has changed radically. our industry has evolved based on the way we consume content. Instead of the big console behind floor-toceiling windows used for the FM air studio, it’s a podcast production space. They have four little studios that are voicetrack booths, and that’s what powers the FM. The teacher running the program is paying attention to how her students use media and setting them up for success because she’s teaching them both now and the future.

So many studios I go into now are truly multipurpose. Yes, we do a radio show here, but we’re also creating video, and making all kinds of short- and long-form content for different platforms. We have to design studios so our people can meet the audience wherever they are.

How is the marketplace for analog consoles and how long will manufacturers support them?

Davis: We have been experiencing a resurgence in analog consoles. We’re seeing interest from broadcasters who

have an older analog console that’s getting harder to maintain, yet they don’t have the desire or means to change out their entire studio routing for AoIP. They want to simply replace their console with a newer one without adding an Ethernet switch, for example, and get all those newer benefits like USB that they couldn’t get on their older board. They’re also looking at cost. Fortunately, because analog is mature, we can manufacture a good, quality analog console like our new AML for a fraction of what they paid for their older consoles.

We support just about every console we’ve ever made to the extent that we can get the parts. Many components for consoles we made in the ’80s and

”

’90s are being or have been discontinued, and we buy up as much of that inventory on the market as we can. We have a decent stockpile of inventory of older components that are impossible to get elsewhere.

Final thoughts?

Davis: When buying an AoIP system, don’t skimp on your Ethernet switches — it’s the backbone of your facility.

Follow your console manufacturer’s recommendations on which switches to use in your system and you’ll get great results. It’s a best practice to isolate AoIP from other networks. If your audio is on its own island, it’s much easier to manage and troubleshoot.
