On Feburary 18th, the new WABI.tv was launched. WABI TV-5 is a CBS-affiliated television station in Bangor, Maine. WABI was the first television station in Maine to go on the air when it began broadcasting on January 25, 1953. Also, they are the only locally owned and operated commercial station in Bangor. Leading news ratings for many years, WABI TV-5 is the only station in the market with a full schedule of live, local news that originates from Bangor.
Sephone is proud to work with WABI TV-5 on their new site. Some of the improvements on the new site are increased usability, RSS feeds, and faster page loads.
See the new site for yourself at www.wabi.tv.
Today we’re excited to announce the launch of SephoneCast, a new service from Sephone. SephoneCast is an easy way to create your own podcast simply by uploading MP3 files within a Sephone-hosted login area.
Simple from the start
Have an audio or podcast recording program that creates or exports MP3 files? SephoneCast makes turning those files into a podcast as easy as 1-2-3.
Once we’ve set up an account for your podcast in SephoneCast, you’ll be given a username and password to log into your show’s administration area. From this area you’ll be able to view past episodes and upload a new one whenever you choose. Simply supply a title, description, and file from your computer to upload and your new episode will be immediately available online and to anyone subscribed to your podcast.
Use a site or start from scratch
SephoneCast makes it easy to integrate your new podcast into your existing site. Create a link straight to your podcast’s RSS feed. You can even integrate a Flash audio player with a list of episodes directly into your current site so that visitors can listen to the latest episodes without ever leaving their browser.
Don’t have a site? No problem! SephoneCast also automatically creates a show page whenever you update your podcast. The generated page has a list of episodes, a link to subscribe to the show, and an integrated audio player.
Upload once, use everywhere
Once you have a SephoneCast account, anyone can grab your podcast’s RSS feed and listen to your show in any application that supports podcast subscriptions. We can also help you submit your show to popular podcasting directories like iTunes.
SephoneCast also integrates with FeedBurner, a service from Google that gives podcasters a wealth of information about their podcast’s listeners and stats. It also provides many other options for your show ranging from buttons and stats to put on your site to a way to e-mail visitors whenever new episodes are available. We’d be happy to let you know what’s available.
Only the beginning
Over time we hope to add new features and enhancements to SephoneCast to make the experience for you and your listeners even better.
