History Of The Company
Seeing the need for computerized song scheduling systems for radio stations, Andrew Economos left NBC to create Radio Computing Services, now known as RCS. Dr. Economos led the way by launching the first software to schedule music at radio stations throughout the world.

In 1979, RCS opened its doors with the first version of Selector® designed for music radio stations wanting to have more control over their song rotations, while maintaining balance and creating variety. Within the first year, Selector had its first station, the NBC owned FM station in San Francisco. Selector's rapid achievement pushed RCS to develop more software for the broadcasting industry.

Building on Success
RCS saw the need for a sister program to help programmers and sales departments schedule promotional announcements and jingles, or "links" as coined by RCS, so Linker® was created. In 1983, the Compact Disc (CD) and the era of digital music were born. Within five years, RCS introduced another innovation, its first complete on-air digital studio automation system called Master Control™ which, along with Selector and Linker, completed the digital paperless studio for radio stations everywhere. By 1993, RCS counted over 2,000 stations worldwide using its software; three years later, Selector broke the 3,000 mark.

The best use the best™
RCS continues to improve all its software programs and delivers updated versions with new features several times a year. A hallmark of RCS from the beginning was the need to base refinements and improvements driven by its loyal customers and experienced 'power' users of the products. Innovative ideas like Internet Voice Tracking™ and RCS RadioShow™ keep RCS stations on the cutting edge. iSelector™, the award-winning patented interactive Internet is another example of RCS developing groundbreaking technologies for its customers and clients.

Moving Beyond Radio
RCS developed real-time audio recognition technology, which has been used in its launch of Media Monitors, a separate company that monitors commercial and musical content on 1,000 radio stations in the United States, Canada and other countries. RCS RadioShow technology, developed by RCS, is a platform to program and synchronize graphic content to broadcast audio and display the results on any device equipped with a screen.

RCS Today

In January of 2007 RCS merged with Prophet Systems Innovations. Prophet Systems brings industry standard products like NexGen Digital to the RCS suite of solutions.
