Big Tech for Smaller Markets with Dave Radigan - TWiRT Ep. 695

Boasting 17 signals in 4 radio markets - in New York and Pennsylvania - Radigan Media represents the kind of local radio that’s not only serving its local communities, but doing so with newer technologies. Dave Radigan wears many hats in his growing network of stations, including Chief Engineer. He’s implemented Audio over IP (linear Livewire) between studio and transmitter site, partly because he needed a bi-directional link with no audio compromises - and contact closures. And, Dave has recently opened the door to the “flexible studio”. Using AoIP audio routing tech he’s providing his staff with convenient options for live talk shows, voice-tracking, and production from the same studio, as needed. Let’s check out Dave’s reasoning about implementing the latest tech, when it makes sense to do so.

Three-and-a-half hours (230 miles) east of me here in Erie, PA, lies the heart of a 17-signal cluster of stations managed by CEO Dave Radigan of Radigan Media, who joins host Kirk Harnack for Episode 695 of the TWiRT Podcast. Broadcast engineers will find quite fascinating what Dave has done with his acquisitions. In many ways, this Episode is a learning-packed series of “war stories.”
Episode 695 is truly worth watching. There are lots of truly neat implementations of technology to explore.
