Who misses the time when one radio station occupied a whole floor of a building, had like three or four studio rooms to support on air shows and a few production rooms for spots, promos and such? The sales offices were at the same location as the studio instead of in the next town and the engineer(s) belonged to them instead of 25+ different signals. I get that this is a much more efficient way of doing it and makes many stations possible that would not otherwise be able to survive. I remember one morning show in SF that had a live studio audience every morning. Try that in one of those little walk in closets.
Can't say I'm very impressed. This is what "corporate radio" looks like now. Everything out of a computer. No one in the building past late afternoon. No one to answer a phone, take a request, or ask about a song or artist. These mega-company-owned stations don't do local sports or rarely cover local events! Cookie cutter formats designed by consultants who probably can't correctly pronounce the name of your city, or know where it is on the map! Radio used to be good, fun, and you got the local weather two or three times an hour; but not any more. Having worked in radio for 40 years, I see it as unimportant, irrelevant and nothing but unwanted noise. All those studios in this video, and not one person in any of them! What a waste that they're only live a few hours a day and everything else is out of a hard drive! SMH!
