Radio Production!

Radio Production class, feel free to ask questions here regarding assignments, and I hope your PSAs are going well. Radiologik rules!

I promised a list of programs for you to listen to, here’s the beginning of that, to get started. The first 5 are talk. The next is talk/music, and lastly mostly music. You can receive WNYC and WABC via the airwaves directly, or on line streaming. I often use iTunes. The last one is a university music station out of Seattle, so, of course only through streaming. KEXP has a very large global audience.

*WABC used to be a music radio station, “WABC Musicradio” and it was huge. They had a unique control room setup where the engineer (no combo operation allowed due to union rules) faced the announcer, across the console, and worked as a unit. And they did not wear headphones, always used blaring speakers. They wanted to get a “live” feel to create excitement. The formula worked for a lot of years, until the legendary “day the music died.”
