In many duopoly shops, one station is conventional, the other highly automated. Can the new SOSS operate multiple streams of play-out programming along with making satellite recordings?
Yes. There is no practical limit on the number of program streams that can be handled by the automation of the ARA personal computer. That was a design goal. Since public radio stations in some markets already were duopolies before the FCC loosened the rules for commercial operations, and since others were already feeding cable systems with a separate stream, we had that in mind.
