Write Better News™

RCSnews™is a state-of-the-art radio newsroom system, providing solutions for your entire news operation from newscast gathering, writing and editing to actual on-air broadcast and story archiving. This comprehensive, standalone newsroom software enables reporters to write newscasts, receive and revise wire copy and digitally record, edit and playback audio.

Virtual Newsrooms

With RCSnews as the backbone of your news department, you can create custom Virtual Newsrooms for each of your writers, reporters and editors. You can also arrange filing systems, archives and organizational structure for optimal control. This increases workstation speed and story-creation productivity, thus improving workplace efficiency.

Scaleable from giant to tiny newsrooms

Because all radio news departments have different needs, RCSnews is completely scaleable from large network news operations to single station news "closets". RCSnews can be configured to adapt perfectly for any of these environments:

• Network news: Server-based system creating and serving all newscasts simultaneously to affiliates as a typical network "one to many" scenario.
• Peer-to-peer newsroom: Enterprise-wide deployment for sharing stories, audio and complete reports among multiple stations, cities, regions, or countries.
• The Outpost: stand-alone, single-operator system for one newsroom, one station or one journalist.

Whether you're writing your own newscast for the top of the next hour, or editing/stacking stories and audio for an upcoming broadcast, RCSnews is flexible enough to handle those extremes and everything in between.
