# Studio Information

> Check weather, traffic, and metadata reported by external automation.

Open **Studio Information** for station weather and traffic. Reported tracks also appear in the workspace's now-playing area. Check freshness before reading information on air.

## Weather coverage

Your administrator chooses coverage in **Settings → Weather coverage**. A station can use named areas or coordinate-based locations, such as a city or representative point for a region. Forecasts use the configured forecast timezone.

Use the location labels and forecast time to confirm that you are reading the correct area. If coverage is empty, ask an administrator to configure it. A stale or unavailable forecast should be checked against your station's usual source before use.

## Traffic watch list

The station can watch all Dutch A-roads, all N-roads, both groups, or selected roads. That watch list is shared with the traffic tools in Show Prep.

Confirm the road, direction, and update time before using a report. A quiet watch list means no matching reports were returned; it does not guarantee that every road is clear.

## Reported tracks

The latest track and track history come from metadata sent by external automation. A music row in a planned rundown is not evidence that the track was played.

| State | How to use it |
| - | - |
| Fresh | A recent observation; confirm the reporting timestamp |
| Stale | An older observation; check the automation connection before relying on it |
| Empty | No observation is available yet |
| Unavailable | The workspace could not retrieve the data; retry and check access |

An administrator configures a dedicated playback ingest credential. RadioTools receives metadata and can optionally follow matching rundown items; the external system remains responsible for audio playout.

## Publishing information to listeners

Studio access and listener redistribution are separate settings. Weather and traffic APIs require recorded redistribution permission as well as enabled public API switches. An enabled switch alone does not establish that permission.
