New radio station uses AI news readers

January 16, 2024 //  by Finley Vowles

Bournemouth One Radio Station launched their AI-assisted news outlet two weeks ago.

It runs 24/7 and has regular bulletins which cover local news and weather.

The team consists of just three people, Founder and Co-Founder, Roy

Martin and Sophie Greenwood, and news editor Andy Diprose.

Andy Diprose, said: ‘ I think it’s the most technically advanced station in the country just by the way the technology is used.’

The AI is used to broadcast record-breaking news from anywhere where needed by a simple text message.

It also ensures that regardless of where Andy or Roy are, their voices will play over the the radio station.

Roy Martin said: ‘If we write out a news bulletin we use WordPress or something similar’…’press a button to send it to Twitter or Facebook and we can press another button to send it to radio station so at the next top of hour, one of our cloned voices will read out the news bulletin for us.’

Andy Diprose spoke about how AI sounds over the radio:
