Fusion Air Launches Broadcast Software Suite
Kensington Digital Marketing's new broadcast technology company debuts tools for radio stations, including outage monitoring and live show production.
Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in Remote Work
Fusion Air, a broadcast technology company within the Kensington Digital Marketing family, has launched a suite of affordable broadcast software led by CEO Tony Richards. The launch includes Broadcast Network Monitor, a system that detects when a station is off the air, and additional tools are in development.
Why it matters
Radio stations that lack dedicated engineering staff face outage and security risks that go unnoticed, and affordable tools aimed at smaller operations could help close that gap. The launch reflects continued consolidation of broadcast technology tools within a single corporate family.
Air Codec runs up to five independent codec instances on a single PC, and Broadcast Network Monitor operates continuously, 24 hours a day. Pricing for the software suite was not disclosed in the announcement.

The details
Sportscaster Pro includes built-in mic processing, plays commercials and bump music, calls the studio, and verifies content before broadcast, and lets a host take a show live with one button. Air Scan, a free tool, checks whether a station's EAS box or transmitter remote is exposed to the internet and provides steps to fix problems.
Timeline

Roadmap
Broadcast operators have increasingly relied on internet-connected equipment, including Emergency Alert System boxes and transmitter remotes, which creates exposure that smaller stations may not monitor. Fusion Air's launch of a free exposure check and continuous outage monitoring addresses that gap for stations with limited engineering staff.
Radio stations that adopt Air Scan can check their EAS equipment and transmitter remotes for internet exposure at no cost. Station operators weighing Sportscaster Pro or Broadcast Network Monitor will need to compare pricing once it is published.
The takeaway
Radio operators without dedicated engineering staff should consider whether their outage monitoring and internet exposure checks are adequate, and the free Air Scan tool offers a low-cost way to start. Comparing software options against actual station needs will matter more than the headline feature set.
