Traditional Radio Stations

Abacast is a leading provider of digital radio solutions for terrestrial radio broadcasters that stream online.  Abacast's flagship platform, the Abacast ClarityTM Digital Radio System provides a complete solution for profitable online radio. Serve your audiences with reliable, high quality audio; offer cool Clarity Player features including social networking, song ratings, and contest entries; and generate real profits with Clarity Ad Insertion System and our 3rd Party Ad Sales Network; and analyze your audience viewing patterns with Clarity Analtyics.  .

Online-only Webcasters

Abacast’s flagship Clarity Digital Radio System™ is ideal for Internet Webcasters (also called Pure Play Webcasters or Internet-only Webcasters).  The Abacast Clarity system provides world class audio quality and scale via our distributed streaming CDN; revenue via in-stream audio ads, pre-roll video gateway ads, and rotating banners; radio-specific analytics; and even “found” revenue via the Abacast Ad Sales Network, consisting of national advertisers and automatic scheduling. 

Ad Insertion and Management

Abacast's advertising services can help you dramatically with your top line. Abacast's patent-pending ClarityTM Ad Insertion System automatically replaces terrestrial-only ads with online ads (and inserts ads directly into Internet Webacaster services), and offers targeting capabilities by station format, geographic location and more for increased CPMs.  With AdSync™, synched banner ads are displayed, enabling increased traffic to ad websites and ecommerce transactions.  Pre-roll video ads generate high CPMs due to listener engagement on stream launch.  

Third Party Ad Sales

Abacast’s Ad Sales Partner Network consists of national ad sales partners AdLarge and TargetSpot that can sell your unsold audio or pre-roll video inventory. These partners typically sell national advertisers—including Geico, Webex, 1800Flowers, and more—and have the scale to generate high yields and CPMs.   With the Abacast Clarity Ad Insertion System and Abacast Ad Sales Partner Network you can continue to sell your prime inventory to your best customers and turn the rest over to a trusted 3rd party. 

Ad Sales Training

Take advantage of our Online Ad Sales Best Practices Guide and Training Sessions to help maximize in-house ad sales. We have culled best practices from our most successful radio station and webcasting customers and assembled them in to a “how to” guide to accelerate in-house ad sales. 

Mobile Streaming

Mobile phones are enabling a new generation of listeners to consume radio content on the go and in their cars. With Abacast mobile streaming you can reach almost any smart-phone user, with support for the iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Windows Mobile and more. Monetize your content with support for inserted audio ads, pre-roll video or audio ads, and rotating or synchronized banners.  Abacast offers the highest quality mobile streaming, with optimized formats including HE-AAC v2.
