CLARET, France — Sept. 1, 2010 — NETIA today announced that Algerian Radio (RA), Algeria’s public radio broadcaster, has expanded its Radio-Assist(TM) digital audio software installation to realize a highly automated end-to-end broadcast workflow incorporating media ingest, production, scheduling, playout, and archiving.
