Dailycast News Service Returns!
Version 6 rebuilt from the ground up!
Two years ago we moved Dailycast News Service to Radio Guild Service while we completely rebuild an all-news radio news service. Coming this fall, Dailycast News Service returns! Version 6 promises a new way for broadcasters to offer news to their audience.
September 17, 2026
NEXT WEEK, WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 21, 2026, WE WILL BEGIN PROVIDING THE LINK TO THE NEW VERSION 6.0 FOR OUR NEWS SERVICE. THIS WILL BEGIN WITH OUR STATIC LINK PREMIUM CLIENTS. THIS PROCESS WILL INCLUDE TURNING OFF STATIC LINKS TEMPORARILY UNTIL CLIENTS' NEW ACCOUNTS ARE CREATED. WE WILL BE CONDUCTING AUDITS ON ALL STATIC LINK USERS. ANY CLIENTS THAT HAVE PAST-DUE SUBSCRIPTIONS WILL NEED TO CATCH UP ON PAYMENT FOR STATIC LINKS TO CONTINUE IN VERSION 6.
FOR CLIENTS THAT DOWNLOAD THEIR FILES EACH DAY, BE SURE TO LOGIN AND CHECK 'YOUR ACCOUNT' LINK. IF YOUR ACCOUNT RENEWS ON OR AFTER OCTOBER 1, 2026; CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIP SO IT DOES NOT RENEW ON THE OLD SITE. THEN WHEN YOU RECEIVE THE LINK FOR VERSION 6, CREATE A NEW SUBSCRIPTION. IF YOU ALREADY RENEWED FOR NEXT MONTH OR PARTIALLY NEXT MONTH, THAT'S FINE. THE OLD SITE WILL CONTINUE TO RUN TO ALLOW YOU TO USE YOUR PAID DATES. JUST CANCEL SUBSCRIPTION TO MAKE SURE YOU DO GET BILLED AGAIN ON OLD SITE.

September 2, 2026
CODING FULLY COMPLETED ON NEW DAILYCAST NEWS SERVICE SITE. ALL FEATURES HAVE BEEN ADDED. NEXT PHASE IS TROUBLESHOOTING AND TESTING OF ALL FEATURES.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - ALL CURRENT CLIENTS WILL NEED TO MIGRATE TO THE NEW SITE ANYTIME AFTER OCTOBER 1ST. SINCE THIS IS A NEW PLATFORM, THIS INCLUDES CANCELLING OLD BILLING AND OLD SUBSCRIPTION AND SIGNING UP FOR NEW ACCOUNT AND BILLING ON THE NEW PLATFORM. BOTH PLATFORMS WILL OVERLAP AND RUN AT THE SAME TIME, UNTIL MOST USERS TRANSFERS OVER; SO DON'T CANCEL ACCOUNT TOO FAR BEFORE OCTOBER 1ST TO AVOID SERVICE DISRUPTION (i.e. if your current account renews on September 20th, renew it on the current site then sign up for new site on October 19th).
IF YOUR BILLING RENEWS NEAR OR AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER - DO NOT RENEW YOUR BILLING FOR THE CURRENT ACCOUNT YOU'RE ON NOW. YOU WILL NEED TO CANCEL THAT SUBSCRIPTION THEN CREATE NEW BILLING ON THE NEW PLATFORM.
IN THE FINAL WEEK OF OCTOBER, WE WILL PROVIDE ALL CURRENT CLIENTS A LINK TO SIGN UP AT NEW ACCOUNT. FOR THOSE THAT ARE ON AN ANNUAL PLAN, YOU WILL STILL NEED TO CANCEL YOUR CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION. DO NOT CREATE NEW BILLING YET; WE WILL CREDIT YOU FOR ANY UNUSED MONTHS YOU HAVE NOW THEN AFTER THAT CREDIT RUNS OUT, YOU WILL THEN NEED TO SIGN UP FOR NEW BILLING.
