Overview of the Radio Business with a Focus on the Technical Side
Mike Pappas, Field Engineer and VP of Business Development, Orban
The radio business is a 24/7 operation that covers over 99 percent of the country with entertainment, news, information and in emergencies vital information. This presentation will give an overview of the “business” of radio and a bit of its history. It will focus on how the business has changed and consolidated and what the future looks like.
Basic Audio Production
Jake Kaplan, Director of Imaging and Sound Design, Audacy
After all the technical operations are finished by the folks in your profession at a radio station, the creation of the sound of the radio station begins. Imaging (or sound design) is more important than ever in an era where people can get their music and content anywhere. We have to keep our radio stations unique, give people a reason to tune into our music stations, listen to our host, and get their news and sports from us. At the same time, we are using technology in more creative ways than ever to get more imaging to our various streams of content.
STL’s and Audio Production
Tony Gervasi, Intraplex Sales Manager GatesAir
This presentation will cover STL and Audio via IP, including secure reliable transport of Audio/Video and Data Over IP; media transport protocols and network security.
