We capture and transcribe 158+ television and radio stations at segment level, with airtime recorded per mention, including the community radio no international platform carries.

What is included

Why community radio matters

Social licence and public opinion often shift in community radio phone-ins and talk shows weeks before a story reaches national coverage. Those conversations are where an early warning comes from.

Questions

How many broadcast stations do you monitor?

More than 158 television and radio stations across the region, including community radio.

Do I get transcripts?

Yes. Radio and television segments are transcribed, and airtime is recorded for each mention.

How quickly will I hear about a story?

Alerts go out at the moment a story publishes, across every channel in your scope, rather than in a digest the next morning. They are routed to the people who can act on them, not to a shared inbox.

Can I try Social Light before paying?

Yes. Creating an account takes about ten minutes and does not ask for a card. Nothing is charged until you choose a package. You can also book a demo, or take our free media intelligence assessment to see how much of your own coverage you are currently seeing.
