Technology

  

Through it's technology partner, i-BridgeTech, AFSTEREO has a network of field stations situated around South Africa tracking over 33 radio and television stations.

AFSTEREO uses US-patented radio and television monitoring technology, called AirCheck, engineered by Media Monitors USA, to listen to top-rated radio and television stations in major markets.

AFSTEREO utilises advanced wave pattern recognition technology (not watermarking), AirCheck essentially “fingerprints” audio and video which allows AFSTEREO to offer a raft of exciting services.

While computers automatically track thousands of recurring commercials hour after hour, 365 days a year, teams of spot and music data specialists research and identify new advertisers, commercials, music artists and song titles every day.

AFSTEREO can provide data such as:

  • How many of your commercials are playing on SA radio and television
  • How many of your competitors’ commercials are playing on SA radio and television
  • How many of your commercials that were scheduled to go to air actually played
  • When and where your competitors advertise
  • How many times a particular song has been played on SA radio
  • How many times a particular station has played a particular artist, and which tracks were played at what times
  • And much more!


AFSTEREO provides advanced tools to analyse and use the data collected. To arrange a free demonstration of our services, please contact tonya@afstereo.com (Media and Music Services)
