Radio Television Malaysia (RTM), the government-owned broadcaster of Malaysia, has
recently commissioned NETIA to fully refurbish its 11 regional stations with
Radio-Assist 7.5, the latest version of the company?s content management software.

The stations had already been using NETIA Radio-Assist solutions since 2001, and this
latest order solidifies NETIA?s position as a radio solutions market leader in
Malaysia.

?The fact that the regional stations have continually tapped NETIA for radio
solutions combined with this latest order demonstrates the trust RTM has in our
Radio-Assist,? said NETIA?s Vice President of Business Development, Xavier de Vynck.
?It shows they are committed to working with us into the future. We are truly gaining
a strong foothold in this region.?

As one of the largest broadcasters in Malaysia, RTM has 11 regional and eight
national radio stations spread throughout the country, which has a population of
about 25 million. They have chosen Radio-Assist because of the range?s modularity,
which gives them the flexibility of fine-tuning and customizing the system?s
configurations for each regional station?s needs. Also, as many Malaysians speak
several different languages and regional dialects, the fact that Radio-Assist can
manage multiple languages through one GUI makes it an ideal choice for the regional
broadcasters.

The regional stations have been using most of Radio-Assist?s modules to help
streamline the management of their on-air content. Radio-Assist allows RTM to
automatically digitize analog files during acquisition, import and export files,
access important database files, edit, and plan in the most efficient manner
possible.

By taking advantage of Radio-Assist 7.5, the broadcasters will also have access to
the AIR-DDO module, which allows users to monitor and control on-air operations by
simultaneously displaying four broadcast channels over two monitor screens and
provides on-air support tools including: a playlist, which displays all the sounds
scheduled in chronological order; several air cart stacks that give users access to a
range of various sounds, jingles, and stingers; and a hotkey reserved for
top-priority items. In addition, the presenter has access to a wide range of
ergonomic tools that allows him to control sounds, playlist, and other functions.
Presenters can also use the Air-DDO to record, edit, and schedule while on air, and
add any metadata into files as needed.

Staffers at the refurbished regional stations will also be using Radio-Assist modules
in order to communicate with other IT networks. Primarily, these will be comprised of
the Import and Export modules, which will allow the regional stations? staff to send
content via FTP into the servers of the national radio stations.
