Broadcasters globally are facing the same set of problems, and they’re getting worse every year. Based on industry trends from SEMrush, Search Engine Journal, and HubSpot’s 2025 media insights, here are the biggest challenges:
1. Disconnected Tools = Disconnected Teams
Most broadcasters still use:
- One tool for scheduling
- One tool for playout
- Excel for traffic control
- Manual log sheets
- Separate invoicing systems
- And WhatsApp/email for approvals
This leads to:
- Workflow chaos
- Zero central visibility
- Human errors
- Delayed broadcast logs
- Lost ad revenue
How EBIMS Solves It
EBIMS provides one integrated ecosystem:
- Traffic + Scheduling
- Ad Management
- Playout Automation
- CRM
- Billing & Invoicing
- Reports & Compliance
One login. One workflow. One source of truth.
No legacy system offers this level of integration.
2. Manual Scheduling Is Causing Preventable Errors
2025 demands faster, tighter broadcast flows.
But legacy systems rely heavily on manual logs and outdated interfaces that slow everything down.
Common issues include:
- Overlapping programs
- Wrong ad placements
- Missing commercial spots
- Time miscalculations
- Last-minute corrections
How EBIMS Solves It
EBIMS uses AI-assisted scheduling to:
- Auto-detect timing gaps
- Fix overlaps
- Align ads with program runtime
- Prevent double-booking
- Ensure commercial compliance
Your playlist becomes error-free, even during high-pressure moments.
3. Advertisers Want Proof — Legacy Systems Can’t Deliver It
In 2025, advertisers expect:
- Real-time data
- Transparent ad delivery logs
- Campaign insights
- Auto-generated invoices
Legacy systems don’t have the reporting capabilities needed today.
How EBIMS Solves It
EBIMS offers:
- Real-time campaign monitoring
- Automatic as-run logs
- Transparent proof-of-performance
- One-click invoicing
- Clear ROI reports
This makes advertisers trust you more, stay longer, and spend more.
4. Legacy Systems Are Hard to Learn & Even Harder to Maintain
New staff takes weeks to learn outdated broadcast software.
Most older systems come with:
- Old interfaces
- Limited documentation
- No customization
- Slow support
- Expensive hardware requirements
Stations waste time just training their team.
How EBIMS Solves It
EBIMS Studio is:
- Modern
- Intuitive
- Easy for new staff
- Cloud-ready

Your team can learn it within hours — not weeks.
5. Compliance Requirements Are Getting Stricter
Broadcast regulations now require:
- Accurate timing logs
- Proof of ad placement
- Program categories
- Content quotas
- Region-specific reporting
Legacy systems cannot adapt to these changing standards.
How EBIMS Solves It
EBIMS auto-generates:
- Government compliance logs
- As-run logs
- Content category reports
- Playlist timing summaries
- Custom regulatory formats per region
You stay 100% compliant — automatically.
6. Advertiser Revenue Loss Due to Mismanagement
Ad misplacements or missed commercials cost stations thousands each year.
Legacy systems lack:
- Conflict detection
- Campaign-wise tracking
- Version control
- Auto-billing
- Delivery verification
How EBIMS Solves It
EBIMS ensures:
- No missed ads
- No wrong versions
- No duplicate placements
- Accurate billing
- Transparent advertiser reporting
Your station earns more — without extra effort.
7. Zero Customization in Legacy Systems
Legacy systems force stations to adjust their workflow to the software.
In 2025, that’s a deal-breaker.
How EBIMS Solves It
EBIMS adapts to your station:
- Region-specific
- Format-specific
- Custom workflow automation
- User-role permissions
- Integrations with third-party tools
This is why EBIMS is growing fast in the U.S., Caribbean, Africa, Middle East, and Asia.
