However, manual programming can be time-consuming and prone to human error. The integration to the other modules in the Radiohost system makes it possible to use the spots as soon as they are booked and you can make a last minute booking before going on air.As a radio station manager, you know how important it is to keep your listeners engaged with quality programming. The restrictions you have made in the setup can easily be overruled and our booking is not controled by the application programmers. Equivalent product codes will be placed as far from each other as possible and you can setup the minimum distance allowed. With this feature you can make a block like this: Auto dealer – Kitchen equipment – Restaurant – Auto dealer. The majority of the other programs I have seen will only allow a single product code and a speaker in each block. One of the top most advantages is to have Easy Spot take two product codes and a speaker into account – NOT just between the blocks but inside the commercial block or stop set. The old system had a lot of advanced features but Easy Spot is far superior in the areas of flexibility, ease of use and data security. After a testing Easy Spot in a few days, we decided to convert the data from our old system to Easy Spot. Easy Spot is easy to use for first time users and it will meet the needs required in even the most advanced bookings. I have seen a lot of booking programs in my 13 years in the business and I must say that Easy Spot is the best I have ever seen. In my opinion the Radiohost system is a strong alternative to systems like the Dalet system and you can still keep the budget. I can highly recommend the Radiohost system to all stations who need a system that are fully equipped with functionality and which is still cost effective. We had some special needs for Heavy Rotation and Easy Spot and these were implemented in a short while, fast and effective. However, I must say that we have experienced the best service we have ever had from a software company. Some of the first comments where "This is very easy to use, much easier than Wavestation" and "Wow, this looks easy." We where use to poor service from our old supplier so we where a bit anxious at this point. Most of our DJ's are not very computer minded but a short introduction was sufficient for most of our DJ's. It had all the features we needed and it was very user friendly. By chance we discovered the Radiohost system and this was a pleasant surprise. Most of the systems where not very user friendly and they did not perform as well as we had expected. Six months ago we where looking for a system to replace our Wavestation and we tested a lot of the popular systems available on the market.
