Join the Nexus.
Nexus is the marketplace where radio programming is discovered, cleared, paid for and delivered — end to end, in one place. Browse shows, hosts, voice talent, features and whole formats. Hear them before you commit. Sign in the browser, pay in the platform, and take delivery straight into your log through AirWaves syndication. No phone tag. No attachment chains. No weekly Dropbox link.
Every part of acquiring programming is a separate errand handled by a different person in a different medium. The show is good. The process is the reason you don't have three more like it.
Notice which links are already fixed. AirWaves delivers the programming automatically and proves it aired automatically — the two hardest parts, done. Nexus is what happens when the other five finally work the same way.
Discovery, contracting, payment and delivery have always been four different businesses. Nexus is the first place they're the same transaction.
Search the catalogue the way a program director actually thinks: by format, daypart, run length, delivery type, demo appeal, cash or barter, and what's still open in your market.
Every listing carries real audio — a full aircheck and a representative hour, not a sizzle reel. You hear the show the way your listeners will before you spend a dollar or a minute.
Filter → audition → shortlist → send termsTerms are negotiated in the thread and settled in the document: run dates, dayparts, term length, renewal, network avails, and the one that matters most — market exclusivity, held against your DMA the moment it's signed.
You sign it in the browser. The syndicator counter-signs in theirs. The moment it's executed, both parties are issued the signed contract as a PDF — with the signing record attached — and the same copy stays in your account for the life of the term.
Nothing leaves the browser. No attachment chain, no version anybody has to guess at — the document you sign and the document you keep are the same file.
Offer → redline → e-sign → countersign → signed PDF to both partiesRadio doesn't only trade in money, so Nexus doesn't either. Settle in cash, in barter, or in both — the inventory you give up is recorded as inventory, scheduled as inventory, and reconciled as inventory.
Card or ACH, one-time or recurring, handled in-platform. Talent gets paid on a schedule instead of on a chase, and every station sees one statement instead of eleven invoices.
Cash · barter · hybrid — reconciled against what actually airedThis is the step no marketplace has ever owned. The moment the contract is countersigned, Nexus provisions the content to your station through AirWaves syndication.
Produced shows arrive through AirVault and drop onto the clock. Live shows join at the scheduled hour through LiveSend. Whole formats run end to end. Your local avails stay yours.
Signed at 2:14pm → in tomorrow's log by 2:15pmEvery other marketplace stops at the handshake. You still have to go get the audio, name it correctly, drop it somewhere your automation is watching, and hope someone did it before the show is due to air.
Nexus is built on top of AirWaves syndication, so the delivery isn't a separate arrangement — it's the same transaction finishing. The show you bought is scheduled, provisioned and cleared to air without a human touching a file.
Illustrative log. Nexus rows are provisioned, not pasted.
Ask any syndicator what the worst part of the business is and they won't say selling — they'll say chasing. Chasing affidavits, chasing clearance reports, chasing the one station that never sends anything back.
AirWaves already solves this. The as-run record is captured at the source, on the box, as it airs — proof of performance is generated, not assembled. Nexus content inherits that on day one, which is why the affidavit was never on the roadmap: it was already done.
Every other listing service ends at the contract, because it has no relationship with the thing that puts audio on a transmitter. It can tell you a deal was signed. It cannot tell you the show ran at 6:02 and the second network unit fired.
Nexus is a marketplace sitting on top of the automation, the traffic system and the syndication path. The proof isn't reported back to it — the proof is generated by it.
Discovery · contract · payment · delivery · proof — one systemStations need to fill hours without capital risk. Talent needs to reach stations without a rep firm and a suitcase. Nexus serves both without either one calling the other first.
Programming that used to take a quarter to source and a lawyer to close is now something a PD can do between shifts.
You built the show. You should not have to build a distribution company to get it heard.
If it goes on a log, it can be listed, licensed and delivered — from a four-hour morning show to a fifteen-second imaging package.
Daily, weekly and weekend programming — live or produced, one hour or a full drive shift, with network avails built in.
Station voices, sweeper packages, promo reads and full imaging libraries — booked, paid and delivered like everything else.
Prep services, bit packages, trivia, interviews and celebrity feeds — subscribed to once, arriving every morning.
Turnkey 24/7 programming with your calls and your local breaks — the fastest way to light up a signal you just bought.
Sixty-second features, countdowns, health and money minutes, sponsored verticals — the inventory that pays for itself.
Weather, traffic, news and sports packages that arrive with a sponsor slot already built — sell it before it airs.
No. Nexus is at its best on AirWaves, because that's what turns "you bought it" into "it's in tomorrow's log" with nobody touching a file. But our modules run standalone alongside any automation system, so a station on another platform can still discover, contract, pay and take delivery — the last step just involves a handoff to your existing system instead of happening inside it.
The syndicator defines the exclusivity radius when they list — by DMA, by market, or by signal contour. When a contract countersigns, that market is held for the term. Nexus won't offer the same show to a competing station in a protected market, and both parties can see exactly what's held and until when. It's the same protection the business has always run on, except it's enforced by the system instead of remembered by two people.
Yes, and properly. Barter isn't bolted on as a note in a contract — the inventory you give up is recorded as inventory, scheduled into the log as network avails, and reconciled against what actually aired. Cash, barter, and cash-plus-barter hybrids are all first-class. This is radio; a marketplace that only understood money would only understand half the deals.
Nexus provides electronic signature, counter-signature, version stamping and permanent storage. Both parties sign in the browser and are issued the executed contract as a signed PDF with the signing record attached — It never leaves the browser and never becomes an attachment chain. Both sides hold an identical copy. Templates are provided as a starting point and the terms remain entirely between the two parties — AirWaves is the platform, not a party to your agreement, and nothing here is legal advice. Have your own counsel review your template once; then reuse it a hundred times.
Listing is free for talent and syndicators. Nexus takes a transaction fee on cleared deals, so nobody pays for a listing that doesn't sell and nobody pays to browse. Early-access pricing is being set with the first group of stations and syndicators — if you'd like a say in it, that's a reason to be in that group.
Nexus is in active development. We're opening early access in stages, starting with syndicators who have programming ready to list and stations with dayparts they want filled. Tell us which of those you are and we'll bring you in with the right group rather than a generic waitlist.
Whether you're looking for a show or looking for stations, tell us which side you're on and we'll bring you into early access with the right group.
