Everyone else records what you sent. AsBroadcast captures your signal as it actually left the transmitter — DAB or FM — off-air, 24/7. We'll record your online stream too.
● Now in beta. 42-day retention · one-click Ofcom export · transmitter monitoring bundled in.
Your licence asks you to keep a recording of your output as broadcast — what listeners actually received. A recording of the studio playout or an online stream can't prove that. It never sees a transmitter fault, a multiplex outage, or dead air on the actual signal.
Captured before the transmitter. If the mux drops, the encoder freezes, or you fall silent on air, the log looks perfect — and you can't tell.
A small box in your coverage area demodulates the live DAB or FM broadcast — the exact thing your listeners hear — and records it continuously.
Plenty of stations want their online stream logged — and we do that, properly, with no hardware at all. Just be clear about what it's for: a stream recording is excellent monitoring, but it isn't the as-broadcast evidence your licence asks for. If you need compliance, you need the box.
Give us your stream URL. We pull it, record it and segment it on our servers — running in minutes, nothing to install, nothing to post.
A box in your coverage area demodulates the live DAB or FM transmission — the same signal a listener's radio receives — and records it 24/7.
Most stations run both. The box keeps your legal record; the stream feed sits beside it so you can see, side by side, whether what left the studio is what made it to air. And we never let the dashboard blur the two — a stream feed is labelled as non-compliant everywhere it appears.
A pre-provisioned box arrives ready for your station. Give it power, an aerial and a way online — even a phone hotspot will do — and the rest runs itself, 24 hours a day.
A DAB+/FM board demodulates your live signal in your coverage area — the real broadcast, not the studio feed.
Audio is encoded into gap-free segments and kept for your full 42-day window — every second, GPS-stamped.
Because the box is demodulating anyway, it watches for source loss, dead air and level faults — and alerts you the moment it happens.
When Ofcom asks, pick the window and download the exact clip — with schedule, music log and location bundled in.
The hardware
A palm-sized box does all of this.
One USB cable for power, an aerial in the box, and any WiFi to upload — home broadband, studio WiFi, even a phone hotspot. See what's inside and how to get one.

The same box that keeps your compliance record watches your transmission around the clock. No separate product, no à-la-carte add-on — it's in the price.
The second your signal drops, falls silent, or a segment fails to arrive — we tell you. By email, or pushed straight into Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty or any webhook. Prefer to pull? Poll a read-only status API from your own monitoring or status page. Alerts open, resolve and acknowledge on their own — no noise.
Scrub any moment of the last 42 days in the browser, and search what was said to jump straight to it — transcription built in. Drop a styled "listen again" player onto your own site, brand it to match, or publish shows as a podcast feed — all from the same recordings.
Point us at your webstream and we record that alongside the off-air feed — no box needed for the stream. Great for a side-by-side check of studio vs transmitter.
Recordings label themselves with the show name — pulled live from the DAB programme data, or matched against a schedule you upload or sync from a calendar. Find "Breakfast, last Tuesday" instantly.
Every recording carries a GPS location, an accurate on-box clock and a device identity — so the export stands up as proof.
Continuous 24/7 capture with buffering that survives a network blip. If a card bounces, a grace window keeps you covered.
Because the box demodulates your live DAB or FM off-air, it sees the reception exactly as a listener's radio does — and measures it, continuously, second by second. Two layers, one device.
Is the transmission actually getting out — and getting out cleanly?
Is there real programme audio — at the right level, within the rules?
Switch a box into roaming mode, put it in a car, and it becomes a drive-test rig. As you move, it logs off-air signal strength, error rate and audio quality against GPS — building a live map of where your station comes through clean, where it fades, and where it drops out.
No “request a demo”, no quote, no à-la-carte alerts — the price you see is the price you'll pay. Every compliance box includes Ofcom recording, 42-day retention, monitoring, listen-again, online-stream recording and automatic show tagging — because the box is doing the work anyway.

Proper off-air compliance has always been enterprise-priced — built for networks and regulators. AsBroadcast puts it within reach of a volunteer treasurer's budget.
Keep your as-broadcast recording for the required window and produce it on request — without wiring up a studio logger you have to babysit.
Captured by demodulating the off-air DAB signal in your coverage area — the per-station, as-broadcast capture point the condition expects.
Compliance evidence and transmitter monitoring in a single flat line item you can put in front of a board — no enterprise contract.
We're honestly in the thick of it: building and testing the platform with a handful of stations. Public sign-up opens within the next two weeks. If you're keen to test us out sooner — or just want a nudge the moment it's open — drop us a line.
