Line Handling System and Screening Information System

Presenters of talk-radio shows and news and current affairs programmes depend on the smooth efficiency with which incoming calls are put on-air. To ensure success also those working behind the scenes e.g. the screener, producer or technician should have up-to-date information and be able to take instant action, if a critical situation arises.

Ideally, incoming telephone calls from listeners or journalists to a programme are initially screened.

If found suitable, these calls are either put on hold or on-air using a Line Handling Console (LHC) which is able to handle a number of calls simultaneously. This Line Handling Console can be a small and elegant hardware console or a software tool on a PC. The mere push of a button or a mouse click puts a caller on air.

A complete and efficient system for talk radio, would therefore consist of an ISDN hybrid (our StudioSet), Line Handling Consoles for use by max. 3 persons simultaneously, as well as the Screening Information Software providing necessary information to both the screener and the presenter.

The presenter remains in charge as he chooses whom to put on air and when.
