Crispin Corporation, a Sony Group Company, is a leading supplier of broadcast automation and media asset management. Crispin has always provided a very modular approach to building a solution for each station individually, allowing the flexibility to only purchase what fits the facility’s needs.

Crispin’s next generation solution, CORE, provides an adaptable approach to fit ever-changing facility needs. It offers options that fit users’ current needs and can be combined into a hybrid model. From traditional on-prem, virtualized, to cloud or any combination, CORE delivers the flexibility to meet customers’ specific requests while enabling their continued evolution. It also supports disaster recovery and provides true system backup for any standalone system too.

More specifically, Crispin’s CORE product suite gives operators browser-based access to the Crispin system, anywhere on the network. webRPX and TimelineView provide alternate options for monitoring and control of all playlist tasks. Record & Prep Manager (RPM) carries out any linear or baseband record and prep needs. Crispin’s database, AssetBase, gives operators access to all assets, asset location and associated metadata to support playout needs. Monitoring Dashboard, soon to be released, now provides a full system status in one concise view.

In addition to CORE, Crispin offers solutions such as LoadingDock, a comprehensive, self-contained, browser-based ingest tool for processing long and short form syndicated content, that drastically reduces the time it takes to process this content.

With a career spanning 26 years in radio, Erin Wilde has become a familiar and beloved voice in the Fort Worth area, where she’s spent the last decade lighting up the airwaves. Beyond the mic, Erin’s talents extend to television and film—most recently appearing in “God’s Here”, now streaming online.

Erin’s passion for broadcasting is matched only by her commitment to giving back. She’s deeply rooted in her community and driven by a desire to make a positive impact in people’s lives. A proud mother and joyful new grandmother—twice over in one year!—Erin holds family at the center of all she does.

In a career full of memorable moments, Erin is particularly proud of her late son Trey Cordie, a gifted program director and radio personality. Though he’s no longer with us, his legacy continues through her work and the love she shares with her audience and community.

When she’s not behind a microphone, you’ll find Erin living life to the fullest—staying active, embracing wellness, and even reviving her days as a professional cheerleader with the occasional TikTok dance. She’s also a three-time blue ribbon champion of the celebrity goat milking contest at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo—because why not?

Erin brings energy, authenticity, and heart to everything she does—and she never misses a chance to say, “How ‘bout them Cowboys?!”
