No Manual Work

Keep your broadcast history organised without the manual work.

Running a radio station means more than just going live. You need to know what was broadcast, when it was broadcast, and be able to find it quickly when required.

Radio Vault 42 continuously listens to your station’s live stream and saves your output into neat 1-hour audio files, 24 times per day, for a rolling 42-day archive period.

What we do

Radio Vault 42 records your station’s live stream into organised hourly audio files. The archive is private to your station account and designed so station owners can find, listen to and download historic output quickly.

Why services like this exist

Radio broadcasters may be asked to evidence what was transmitted, including for licence, complaints, review, advertising, programming or internal governance reasons. Radio Vault 42 helps keep a practical audio record so you are not relying on manual recording or scattered files.

Important: Radio Vault 42 helps stations organise and retain broadcast recordings. Broadcasters remain responsible for meeting their own legal, regulatory and licence requirements.
