RTSAS distribution
The Icecast application serves live and automated streams across the RadioTEDU and RTAI ecosystem.
Inspect RTSASRADIO STATION / MEDIA LAB / ANKARA
A university radio station can be a complete media laboratory.
RadioTEDU treats every signal as a system. We produce programmes and podcasts, build the software behind them, test new interfaces in public, measure the result and turn useful experiments into daily broadcast infrastructure.

THE FORMAT IS MOVING
Conventional media is losing its monopoly on attention. Trusted media still matters.
Deloitte describes a fixed daily attention pool split across streaming, social platforms, games, music and podcasts. Reuters Institute records falling engagement with traditional TV, print and news sites alongside growth in social video and creator-led formats.
Our response is not to abandon radio. It is to make radio native to the new environment: live when immediacy matters, podcast when time shifts, interactive when a room wants agency, and AI-assisted where production can be improved responsibly.
THE LAB, CLUSTERED
Not a list of features. Four connected systems and one public-interest layer.
CLUSTER 01 / BROADCAST CORE
The story begins before the play button.
One editorial programme becomes several measured representations without becoming several schedules. Automation, codecs, metadata and recovery are designed as one operational chain.
Measured codec tiers
ITU-R BS.1770-5 measurement and the EBU R128 reference inform a shared signal path. AAC-LC serves full-quality listening, HE-AAC v2 serves efficient mobile delivery, and Classical and Jazz also expose FLAC.
Read the codec studiesFocus Radio
A distraction-aware listening surface connects dependable automation to a deliberate study experience.
Open Focus RadioCLUSTER 02 / MEDIA INTELLIGENCE
AI joins the production desk, not the fiction of an empty studio.
RTAI tools work around real broadcast responsibilities: contextual hosting, local narration, music ducking, multilingual delivery and source-aware briefings. Deterministic playout remains the operational authority.

SOURCE-AWARE BRIEFING
Situation Room turns a 3D globe into a listening interface.
Geographic context, current reports and spoken summaries meet in a public experiment that keeps source links visible.
CLUSTER 03 / PARTICIPATION
The audience does more than receive the signal.
Campus media becomes stronger when people can choose, queue, meet, study and carry one account across those actions. Voting, Juke Local, Social, tickets and Gold share a product logic without pretending to be one interface.
A room gets its own queue.
Each kiosk is device-scoped. QR requests, queue policy and local playback stay independent across campus locations.
Open JukeboxOne identity, visible progress.
Listening, games and community activity can write to the same account ledger while rewards remain server-authoritative.
Production continues off-air.
Event registration, admission, team operations and content workflows connect the studio to the organisation behind it.

ERP + HUB + TICKETS
Identity and event operations belong to the same ecosystem as the broadcast.
The RadioTEDU account uses ERP identity for secure sign-in and role mapping. Hub brings team, calendar, studio, equipment and event operations together, while the ticket layer carries events into the app and supports admission. ERP is read as the identity source; broadcast and community products retain their own authorization boundaries.

A campus world where presence is part of the medium.
Avatars walk, study and meet in moderated rooms. The project tests how a university radio community can remain social between broadcasts.

CLUSTER 04 / EVERY SURFACE
A station should survive the moment the screen changes.
The RadioTEDU app treats car, television, watch, cast target, phone and tablet as media contexts. Playback state, artwork, controls and identity travel with the listener.
- Google CastMove the active programme to a compatible screen or speaker.
- Android TVBrowse stations and podcasts from the living room.
- Wear OSKeep essential playback actions close.
- System media controlsExpose title, artwork and transport controls to the operating system.
- Offline podcastsCarry on-demand programmes beyond a stable connection.
ONE ACCOUNT · CONTINUOUS MEDIA · EVERY SCREEN
THE BETA IS A METHOD
Test early. Bound the risk. Measure the signal. Keep what survives.
- OBSERVE
Start with a real listening, production or campus problem.
- PROTOTYPE
Build the smallest useful version against the live ecosystem.
- MEASURE
Check audio, latency, accessibility, compatibility and operational failure modes.
- OPERATE
Separate experimental features from deterministic broadcast authority.
- DOCUMENT
Publish methods, code or research when the evidence can help others.
RESEARCH & PUBLIC INTEREST
The station supports its engineering decisions with academic work.
RadioTEDU documents codec choice, signal boundaries and resilient multi-station delivery as research questions, not marketing claims.

ESG / SDG / ACCESS
RadioTEDU Sesli Kütüphane turns production capacity into public value.
The Audio Library uses volunteer recording and collaborative workflows to support access to learning materials for children with visual impairments. Its ESG social-impact focus maps to United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 4, 10 and 17.

THE RADIOTEDU POSITION
We support technological change by testing it in the medium itself.
RadioTEDU remains a radio station, but it no longer fits inside the conventional definition of one. Live channels, podcasts, AI production, participatory systems, connected-device playback and academic work are one continuous laboratory.
