My needs are pretty simple: I have One Network, EWTN, that uses Subsonic 
Cue Tones. I Record the program that runs from 7PM to 8PM to replay in 
the Noon Hour. I also insert 30 Minutes of Locally produced programming 
7 Days a Week, and 2 Hours of Local Programming on Friday Afternoon. I 
am running 2 AMs and I am going to add another AM and 2 FMs in the near 
future. About half of my production is done in the Prod Room, and the 
other half is done in my Home Studio or in the main studio. We currently 
move Audio from Production to on-air with USB Thumb Drives. ALL of our 
audio is .wav files.

WCKI is currently using BSI Simian. It does what we need, but is VERY 
Buggy and really sucks up the RAM in the computer.

WQIZ is currently using BSI WaveStation. It only will do Hard Breaks and 
also sucks up tons of RAM. It will not even run a Week without locking up.

Back in 2002 I works at a station that had RDS Phantom. It was kinda 
clunky to program, but it worked flawlessly. There are a few stations I 
know of with newer Phantoms and they just LOVE them.

My GM has finally had enough of Simian and and a salesman from WideOrbit 
has been talking to him.
