You spend millions on radio airtime. But can you prove your spot actually aired? On Air Proof listens to every station, 24 hours a day, and delivers a downloadable recording the moment your advert plays.

Actual detection output from OAP engine
If you've ever bought radio airtime in Nigeria, you've experienced at least one of these.
You get a log sheet from the station saying your advert ran at 8:15 AM. But you have no way to verify. No recording. No timestamp. Just a piece of paper. Your client asks for proof and you have nothing but the station's word.
You booked 40 spots across 5 stations this month. How many actually aired? 38? 30? 22? You won't know until it's too late — and by then the campaign is over and the budget is spent.
Some agencies hire people to sit and listen to radio all day. Others ask their own staff. It doesn't scale, it's expensive, and nobody can monitor 10 stations at 3 AM on a Sunday.
Your clients are spending ₦5M–₦50M per campaign on radio. They expect proof like they get from digital (impressions, clicks, views). Radio gives them... a handwritten log sheet. How long before they shift that budget to digital entirely?
There's no independent third party verifying whether spots actually aired. The station self-reports, the agency trusts, and the client pays. The entire system runs on trust in an industry where millions change hands daily.
Which station ran your spot on time? Which one played it during off-peak? Did anyone run it at all? Without real data, you can't optimise. You just spend and hope.
The result? Billions of Naira in radio ad spend with zero verifiable proof.
We built what the Nigerian radio industry has needed for 25 years: an independent, automated system that listens, detects, records, and proves.
When you upload your advert, OAP creates a unique audio fingerprint — like a DNA signature of your spot. Our engine (powered by ACRCloud) compares this fingerprint against live radio streams 24/7. The moment your spot plays on any monitored station, we detect it — by sound, not metadata.
Every detection comes with a downloadable MP3 recording — the actual audio captured from the station's live stream at the exact moment your ad played. This is your off-air dub: certified, timestamped, tamper-proof proof of broadcast.
Import your traffic schedule (or enter it manually). OAP automatically compares what was booked against what actually aired. Missed spots, late spots, wrong time slots — everything is flagged instantly. No more guesswork.
Track your campaign in real time. See detections as they happen. View compliance rates by station, time slot, and campaign. Export reports for your clients in PDF or CSV. Give them the same data transparency they expect from digital campaigns.
Radio stations get their own free account. They receive compliance logs from agencies, can confirm or dispute detections, and build a verifiable track record. Stations that comply well attract more agency bookings. Everyone wins.
Get notified the moment your spot airs — or the moment it doesn't. Email alerts, dashboard notifications, and SMS (Senior plan and above). Your team stays informed without lifting a finger.

No technical expertise needed. If you can upload an MP3, you can use OAP.
Drop your MP3 advert into OAP. Our system creates a unique audio fingerprint — a mathematical signature of your audio that works even if the station compresses or adjusts levels.
Enter your booked air-time slots station by station, or import your entire traffic schedule via CSV. This becomes your compliance baseline — what was supposed to air, where, and when.
Our engine listens to every registered station's live stream continuously. The moment it detects your audio fingerprint in the stream, it logs the detection — exact station, exact time, exact confidence score.
Every detection generates: a timestamped log entry, a scheduled-vs-actual variance report, and a downloadable off-air dub MP3. This is your certified proof of broadcast — ready for your client.
Radio advertising in Nigeria is estimated at over ₦100 billion annually. Yet it remains the only major media channel with no independent verification system.

I've spent over 25 years in Nigerian radio — as a DJ, Studio Manager, Music Librarian, Traffic Manager, Production Manager, and someone who has watched the media broadcast industry from the inside. The one problem that never got solved is proof of broadcast. Agencies spend millions. Stations say the spots aired. But nobody can prove it 100%.
On Air Proof exists because I got tired of watching an industry I love operate on blind trust when the technology to fix it has existed for years. We built this for Nigeria first, but the problem is global — and so is the solution.
If you buy or sell radio airtime, try it for 30 days. I think you'll wonder how you ever worked without it.
