Cybercrime Radio Finds Their Voice with Radio.co: Broadcasting Cybersecurity to the Mainstream

Cybercrime Magazine, "page one for cybersecurity," is leading the charge in informing the world about cybercrime. Recognizing a gap in the market, they launched Cybercrime Radio, the first and only radio station dedicated to this critical topic. Radio.co has been instrumental in simplifying the complex process of creating and managing the station, enabling Cybercrime Radio to deliver vital information to a broad audience.

"Radio.co has been super helpful creating Cybercrime Radio… the process was just laid out in front of us. Really straightforward."

Why we need a cybercrime station

Security is no joke. Cybercrime Magazine is a leading source for cybercrime news, research, and analysis, providing valuable insights through articles, videos, documentaries, and now, radio. Driven by the need to educate a mainstream audience – from students and parents to small businesses and major corporations – they launched Cybercrime Radio. The station tackles a subject that affects everyone, delivering crucial information and fostering greater awareness.

No radio experience? No worries

Venturing into radio broadcasting presented a significant challenge for Cybercrime Magazine - the team had limited experience in this medium.

"Going into this, not many of us really knew what we were doing or how to create a radio station."

Radio.co's platform proved to be the solution, offering a clear and straightforward path to creating and operating a radio station. Amanda Glassner, Station Manager for Cybercrime Radio, highlights the platform's ease of use and the exceptional support provided by Radio.co's customer service.

Streamlined broadcast production with smart, simple features

Radio.co's tools are essential for Cybercrime Radio's day-to-day. Amanda Glassner emphasises the importance of the playlist tools, praising its organisation and tagging capabilities, which streamline the station's programming. Amongst other useful tools:

Media Management: A central, cloud-based library to upload, store, and organise all audio files like tracks, recordings, and even news.
Curated Playlists: Quickly build expert interviews or shows by arranging content through dragging and dropping files from the media library.
Advanced Scheduling: Automate the entire broadcast week, scheduling playlists to air at recurring times, like a daily security brief every morning.

Beyond the platform itself, the reliable and responsive customer support has been invaluable in guiding the team through the intricacies of radio broadcasting.

Verdict:
Crucial to reaching a wider audience

Cybercrime Radio is successfully filling a crucial role by delivering cybersecurity information to a wider audience. Despite the challenges of launching a radio station with zero broadcasting knowledge, Cybercrime Magazine has demonstrated its commitment to innovation and providing valuable content. Today, the station is accessible to all, including online directories, the Cybercrime Magazine website, a dedicated mobile app, and on smart speakers, ensuring that this vital information is readily available.

“I could not live without the playlist tools, it makes my job easier. It's organised, and the tagging in itself is life-saving on a daily basis.”
