Creating a New On Air Mention

You can easily create a mention for announcers to read during their shift.

  • Login to SPARC Media Hub using your favorite browser
  • Select AdminCP from the sidebar (If you do not see AdminCP, you do not have sufficient permissions)
  • Select Mention Management from the sub menu. (If you do not see Mention Management, you do not have sufficient permissions)
  • Select Create New Mention (If you do not see Create New Mention, you do not have sufficient permissions)
  • Fill out all the fields on the form

 

What do the fields mean?

 

Select Client: Select which client this mention is attached to. You can use the drop-down to see all clients in alphabetical order or search for the client in the search bar.

Sub Title:  Create a title for this mention to make easily searchable.

Mention Script: What you would like the announcers to read on the air.

Information/Execution:  Any “off-air” info for the announcers or when you would like the mention to be read. For example: “Read during the prize giveaway” or “Mention at 7:05”.

Select Station:  Decide which station this mention will be executed on.

Assign Type:  Is this mention being assigned to individuals or to dayparts? If you have created dayparts for your stations they will appear once you select the station. (If you have not yet created dayparts and would like to learn how click HERE). Click on any daypart you'd like this mention to be assigned to.  If you'd like to assign this mention to a specific person change the assign type to "Announcer Specific". Click which person you'd like to assign this mention to. 

Mention Type:  Is this a one day mention or will happen over multiple days? If it is just one day select “One Day Mention” then select which date to execute the mention. If this will be multiple days and the amount of mentions DOES NOT change each day select “Recurring Auto Mentions”, select which days of the week, then select your start and end dates. If this will be multiple days and the amount of mentions DOES change each day select “Recurring Manual Mentions”, select which days of the week, then select your start and end dates.

Click “Edit Assignments" to assign the number of mentions to each person/daypart. 

If you have selected "One Day Mention" or "Recurring Auto Mentions", you will be asked to assign the amount of mention executions for each person/daypart. 

If you have selected "Recurring Manual Mentions", you will be asked to assign the amount of mention executions for each individual day per person/daypart . 

As you assign each mention RadioPromoHub will track how many mentions you've assigned for the entire day and the entire campaign. 

When you're done, click "Create Mention".
