- 96.5 WSVM is a small-town FM radio station that is garnering many accolades. In western North Carolina it is one of the most highly rated stations in a market that includes big corportate Charlotte-based offerings. In this video we tour the small, but impressive studio. We see the upgraded gear that is used to keep the station up and running. WSVM uses PlayoutONE software and the Blade system for broadcast. They also use MusicMaster scheduling, and have recently won an international award for their broadcast success. The Wheatstone IP-12 - Console is WSVM's mixer of choice. Many thanks to Eddie Jolly for his excellent walk-through. Visit their site and listen: www.wsvmradio.com/
Independent radio stations are crown jewels in the industry. What a fascinating place.
To Tony and Eddie, many thanks for the tour of what really is a jewel in radio. My sister lives in Fallston, and so I get to listen to your terrestrial signal on the occasions that I'm there...I bounced around a bit growing up, so I can say with some authority that North Carolina has always punched way above its weight in broadcasting as a whole. As a child I lived in Raleigh and listened to WKIX with Pat Patterson, Dale Van Horn, Charlie Brown and the rest. I skip monitored stations from all over, especially WJR Detroit with their HoF DJ lineup...Both of you are correct. Radio (all of it, but especially AM) went from being cheescake to sponge cake, to stale bread to recycled plaster over the past few decades. I found WSVM quite by fate, and I'm glad I did. I'm retired and live in the Philippines now, but I still tune in on occasion via the Radio Garden app. And I'm happy to report that the buffering is minimal, even compared to some of the local stations...Great work both, and keep on Max Booming!...
Very nice
Eddie seems like such a joy to be around. Congrats to him for building his little radio empire. It's the kind of thing that keeps America alive.
Real radio is making a comeback, mostly online just because spectrum space is so incredibly valuable that only the mega corporations can afford it. Two of my favs are Funtower Radio and xxx80s. These folks have fun doing what they do and it shows.
Thanks for your nice comment. True - everything you say.
i love your station and the oldies!!!
keep it up!
From an audiophile in New York, "Keep on keeping on and stay the course."👌
Thanks so much for your nice comment. I’ll be sure to relay the message over to Eddie at the station.
@@tonyleeglenn You are welcome. Thank you for typing to me, and let us "enjoy the music!"
This looks like a really nice place.
Love it
Listening in from Australia.
Very cool. I sent your message over to the station manager, Edie. Great to have someone watching and listening in Australia.
Hi Guys, Im Caley Hall here in New Zealand. Watched both of your interviews and Im sitting in front of some broadcasting gear here and hoping to get on air someday. Ive followed a similar path to Eddie as an entertainer and dj for 30 years. Love the vibe and the questions congrats and keep it up! Subscribed! Invite me over sometime, i toured California teaching art lessons in 2017 so I just love the states, amazing people!
Hey Caley. I forwarded your message over to Eddie. I’m sure he’ll appreciate your comments. And yes, if you’re ever in North Carolina, be sure to come by and visit with us.
Awesome and Likewise if you head out to New Zealand I can show you around the South@@tonyleeglenn
@@truecrimereaction Hey Caley, Would love to have you come by and see us! If you're ever back stateside, look us up!
Great work hope to collaborate with you on CZcams one day ❤️ ❤Namibia🇳🇦
I think its time for another trip back to WSVM to see "Uncle Eddy" and his cool radio station :)
Great suggestion. Maybe I’ll slide over there and say hi to him again.
I believe Dale Van Horn started his career on the AM.
GREAT STATION!!!!! S happy to know independent stations are still here, not in my area so sad. Would love to have worked at a station like that. I miss our local stations, don't like the "cow pattiy" stations we have here, junk!
Hello, my name is Joey Hill and I am not familiar with playout one. This is my first time. I would like to know how to load pre-recorded shows
GoodVibes
Nice facility, and congrats on the nice studio improvements. But, having been on the air for 40+ years, I don't think I could sit that close to a street level window like that, and certainly not facing out. The glare would mess with my eyes too much. I'd have designed it sitting 90-degrees from the window!
Windows are tinted and the sun never comes straight into them. It's pretty comfy in there and the fans really enjoy seeing us in there.
Where did PlayoutOne Come From ?
What kills me about Internet Radio Stations, cause I'm a Host on one. The License's are Based on AM/FM Terrestrial Broadcasts which are based on "Markets" and that is based on the Population in those Markets. Where as Internet Radio Streams can actually show the Number of Listener's tuned into the station at anyone time. And that is how they charge Internet Radio Stations. So it's not cheap. I bookmarked you Station... I live what you play.. It's the same Format I've been playing for the last 16 plus years as a Internet Radio Host..
Keep Rockin' Don
Rock on Don! Thanks for listening in!
12:51 - The Wolfman died in Belvedere, NC of a heart attack on July 1st, 1995 at the age of 57. 23:42 - yeah, that digital mixer board alone, is about 12 grand.
How old is the station? How did they get the license? How many watts ERP does it run?
Licensed 1490 Khz Class D AM WSVM Valdese, NC 1000 watts, FM Translator 96.5 FM is W243DV FM Valdese, NC 250 Watts. Translator on High Peak Mountain. Height above Ground Level: 32 meters (105 feet)
Height above Sea Level: 690 meters (2264 feet)
You need a bit more transmitting power from 250 to at least 5000 so can reach more.
Hello. What Model number is them Microphones ?
Electrovoice RE-27
There are one of the Best and Bright sounding Microphones@@chrisunc1
New York should learn a lot from North Carolina.
I am tuning a pirate station in RI 87.9fm . Got more power than your station
Of course they do. That's why they call them "pirates". Why follow power rules when you don't follow any rules at all? We broadcast what we are allowed to. Your "pirate" may be around for a bit but they'll get caught eventually....
