Radio Streaming

Recent Activity
The recent activity report provides a high-level overview of your stream statistics, including details of listener trends, average session times, total listening hours, data transfer, track playback, and more.

Listener activity for the past 48 hours is also plotted for easy reference.

Listener Overview
The listener overview provides information about listeners' usage of your station.

Average session length is charted and graphed, and top listeners are ranked according to listener minutes and number of sessions. Listener countries are automatically determined, and the software used by the listener to tune into the stream is noted and identified as a media player or stream ripper to assist in abuse detection.

Listener Countries
The country overview provides information about the countries from which the majority of your listeners are tuning in.

Top listener countries are charted and graphed according to listener minutes and number of sessions.

User Agents
The user agents report provides an overview of the software programs your listeners are using to tune in to your stream.

Top user agents are charted and graphed according to listener minutes and number of sessions. Each user agent is also classified as a legitimate media player (such as WinAmp, iTunes, etc.), or a stream ripper (a program used to steal music from your stream) to assist in abuse detection.

Track Statistics
The tracks report provides information about the frequency and popularity of the tracks played on your stream.

Track popularity is determined based on the number of tune-ins/tune-outs during a particular song over the past 30 days, and this is used to compile a "least popular" and "most popular" tracks list. This provides an excellent indicator of your listeners' tastes for particular songs.

The total airtime and number of performances of the top songs over the past 30 days is also reported.

Historical Statistics
Centova Cast provides detailed daily and monthly data transfer and listener statistics, complete with graphs, allowing both the client and the administrator to track listener trends and resource usage.

Individual stream statistics are provided to each client, and a master server-wide statistics page is provided in the server administration panel.

Music Licensing/Royalty Reports
Centova Cast provides monthly, downloadable spreadsheets containing the complete list of songs you've played on your stream in the past month, including detailed information about the date, time, and audience of each performance.

A performance summary spreadsheet is also available (not shown) which provides aggregate reports on the playback frequency, number of performances, and monthly TLH for each song.

These reports can greatly simplify the royalty reporting process required by many music licensing agencies.

Live Statistics
Centova Cast's live listener statistics provide a realtime look at who is listening to your stream right now, including listener countries and user agent information.
