Saved By The Cloud

Saved By The Cloud

Radio stations always faced the dreaded possibility of going off the air. During my radio career, this happened many times, due to weather conditions as well as equipment failure. A few days ago, there was a power failure in my home, due to a faulty breaker on the box outside. I was sitting outside on my deck talking to a friend and listening to my station Edgewater Gold Radio. My partner came outside and told me that the power was out. The first thing I said was "the radio s

Radio, not Bound By Studio's Anymore

Just about 30 years ago, if we were hired as a DJ or announcer for a radio station, we drove to the studio and spent 4 or 5 hours in the studio broadcasting a live show. There was really no automation and announcers, DJ's and engineers had to generate each element manually. This was a very tiring task. Full time radio stations were manned 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In today's world, radio stations are automated or at least partially automated. The internet has enabled

The Importance of Radio Imaging

The Importance of Radio Imaging

There are so many times when I turn on a radio station or radio stream and hear nothing but music. One song after another without any identification. As soon as the dial or station is changed away goes the music and away goes the memory of where it came from. Imaging is extremely important in radio broadcasting. Some stations care concerned with repetition. This should never be an issue. Imaging should be creative and consist of multiple recordings. Imaging should also be pro
