Feed aggregator

Radio World Buyer’s Guide articles are intended to help readers understand why their colleagues chose particular products to solve various technical situations. This month’s articles focus on audio processing.

Dom Theodore is president of consulting firm RadioAnimal, program director of Glenn Beck’s radio program and VP of programming for The Blaze Radio Network. He and his wife also own three radio stations, among them WCKC(FM) in Cadillac, Mich., “107.1 The Drive,” which plays classic rock. 

“The station didn’t have a processor when we acquired it in 2016, so we picked a unit that was comparable to the other processors in our market,” Theodore said.

“Now, eight years later, many of our competitors have stepped up their game. Our direct competitor moved their chess piece in 2022 and, while we tried to keep up, we found we were doing, at best, 55 in a 70. We needed to upgrade.”

After demoing a box from its earlier vendor, Theodore pivoted. “We were familiar with Orban as we have a 5500 on our classic hits station. We needed firepower, so we decided to demo the top-of-the-line box.” The Orban 5950 was their choice. 

Theodore said he was surprised to open the shipping box and pull out a piece of hardware that only occupies one rack unit. “This just shows how much DSP power can be used in such a small space,” he said.

He racked it up and used the front panel to put the box on the network. 

“The front panel was so intuitive that I don’t think we even had to reference any documentation to adjust it. A quick start guide is included for those who need it, but if you just step through the menus, it gets you there.” He fired it up and went with the default preset. The 5950 has dual power supplies, and Theodore feeds it from two different UPS power conditioners. 

Unlike previous Optimods, the 5950 comes with an internal web interface, which means Theodore can log in from his Mac in the car and tweak, something he couldn’t do with the previous processor unless he used Parallels remote access. 

“The web interface is very well laid out, and one or two clicks gets you to exactly where you need to be. Everything is easy to understand, and the contrast of the black background and the lighter colors of the controls makes it easy on the eyes to see and make adjustments.”

The internal web interface allows Theodore to log in from his Mac in the car and tweak.

Theodore describes the audio of his competitor as “almost too sanitary, for lack of a better term.” He’s delighted with his new sound. 

“The Orban brought life to the music, almost like touching the loudness button on the stereo. It was effortless yet impactful. Vocals just come to the front and the soundstage is dramatic. Bob Orban’s MX processing turned a page for everybody in the processing world.”

The station plays music ranging from Zeppelin to Green Day; Theodore said the 5950 handles the differences in decades with ease and never sounds fatiguing.

His audio path is a BMX III — recently rebuilt by Scotty Rice — a Sage EAS box, the 5950 and a composite STL to the transmitter site. No composite processing is deployed at the transmitter.

“Our next step is to begin using dynamic RDS. Up until now, we had an external RDS generator that wasn’t dynamic. The 5950 has a built-in dynamic RDS generator as well as a ratings encoder, options to ingest streaming audio as a backup source and, of course separate HD processing for HD radio stations with delay to match the FM and HD paths,” he said.

“With the 5950, we are now up to speed and, to quote the Eagles, are spending life in the fast lane.”

Broadcast engineer Steve Brown will be inducted into the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame.

Steve Brown

Michelle Vetterkind is president/CEO of the WBA, a state association that knows how to celebrate broadcast engineering. In the announcement she described Steve as a career engineer with a reputation for giving back and thinking of the future.

He’s also part of an increasingly rare breed, an engineer who has spent virtually his entire career with one local radio broadcasting company. He began as an announcer/engineer with Woodward stations WAPL(AM/FM) in the 1970s and soon was named assistant chief and then chief engineer before being named director of engineering in 1985. 

He held that post until this January.

“When I was around 12 years old, I drove my parents crazy by dragging home big old console tube radios and 1950s-era TV sets to experiment with in the basement,” Steve told me.

“At 14 I talked a kind old TV repairman into letting me ‘work’ for a dollar a day, stripping old TV sets for parts and watching his store while he went on service calls. At 16, a friend got me a beginner’s job at a ‘real’ TV repair shop at minimum wage.”

In high school Steve took electronics vocational courses; at 17 another friend got him into a starter job at WAPL operating the board for baseball games and DJing the weekend overnight hours. 

“Eventually I worked almost every job in what was then a very small radio station, working my way through college that way. The day after I graduated, I was offered a combination job as relief DJ and assistant to the chief engineer. And the hook was set.”

Over the years Steve earned a master of science degree in engineering management from the Milwaukee School of Engineering, as well as a bachelor’s degree in economics and an associate’s degree in science. 

He retired from Woodward Community Media this January, but still consults to the company.

A bio from the WBA described him as “a broadcast engineer who’s focused on giving back to his industry, cultivating relationships, and building a future for broadcasting on a local, state, and national level. … Known as an ‘engineer’s engineer,’ Brown earned a reputation for being able to interact with all personality types and explain engineering issues in practical and relatable terms.”

He helped launch the Fox Valley chapter for the Society of Broadcast Engineers and has served in many roles for the society since 1982. He has been a Chapter Engineer of the Year, served on the national board for two terms and was elevated to SBE Fellow in 2023. 

Woodward Radio Group General Manager Kelly Radandt said of him then that Steve “is able to interact with all personality types. From sales to programming, he is able to describe the why in very relatable terms and consistently demonstrates patience with people.”

Brown also has worked with the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development to develop a youth apprenticeship pathway for media broadcast technicians, to train high school students in broadcast engineering.

At its Hall of Fame event in June, WBA will also induct Matt Lepay, Patty Loew and Dave Robinson. Congrats to them as well. 

But when broadcast groups and associations make the effort to recognize broadcast engineers, I celebrate. So well done, WBA, and well done, Steve Brown. Thanks for all you do for our industry.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The FCC on Monday fined the nation’s largest wireless carriers for illegally sharing access to customers’ location information without consent and without taking reasonable measures to protect that information against unauthorized disclosure.

Sprint and T-Mobile, which have merged since the investigation began, face fines of more than $12 million and $80 million, respectively.

AT&T is being fined more than $57 million, while Verizon is on the hook for a forfeiture of almost $47 million.

The FCC Enforcement Bureau conducted the investigations of the four carriers. It found that each carrier sold access to its customers’ location information to “aggregators,” who then resold access to such information to third-party location-based service providers. In doing so, each carrier attempted to offload its obligations to obtain customer consent onto downstream recipients of location information, which in many instances meant that no valid customer consent was obtained.

The Commission says this initial failure was compounded when, after becoming aware that their safeguards were ineffective, the carriers continued to sell access to location information without taking reasonable measures to protect it from unauthorized access.

Under the law, including section 222 of the Communications Act, carriers are required to take reasonable measures to protect certain customer information, including location information.  Carriers are also required to maintain the confidentiality of such customer information and to obtain affirmative, express customer consent before using, disclosing, or allowing access to such information.  These obligations apply equally when carriers share customer information with third parties.

Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel commented, “Our communications providers have access to some of the most sensitive information about us.  These carriers failed to protect the information entrusted to them. Here, we are talking about some of the most sensitive data in their possession: customers’ real-time location information, revealing where they go and who they are.”

Rosenworcel noted that the cases were first proposed by the Trump Administration.

“The protection and use of sensitive personal data such as location information is sacrosanct,” added Loyaan A. Egal, Chief of the FCC Enforcement Bureau and Chair of its Privacy and Data Protection Task Force.  “When placed in the wrong hands or used for nefarious purposes, it puts all of us at risk.  Foreign adversaries and cybercriminals have prioritized getting their hands on this information, and that is why ensuring service providers have reasonable protections in place to safeguard customer location data and valid consent for its use is of the highest priority for the Enforcement Bureau.”

The investigations that led to today’s fines started following public reports that customers’ location information was being disclosed by the largest American wireless carriers without customer consent or other legal authorization to a Missouri Sheriff through a “location-finding service” operated by Securus, a provider of communications services to correctional facilities, to track the location of numerous individuals.  Even after being made aware of this unauthorized access, all four carriers continued to operate their programs without putting in place reasonable safeguards to ensure that the dozens of location-based service providers with access to their customers’ location information were actually obtaining customer consent, the FCC asserts.

The Forfeiture Orders announced today finalize Notices of Apparent Liability (NAL) issued against these carriers in February 2020, when Ajit Pai was the Chairman of the FCC.

The fine amount for AT&T and Sprint are unchanged since the NAL stage.  Both the T-Mobile and Verizon fines were reduced following further review of the parties’ submissions in response to the NALs.

The law does not permit forfeiture amounts for specified violations to escalate after issuance of an NAL.

The Forfeiture Orders are available here:

• AT&T, Inc. Forfeiture Order: https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-fines-att-57m-location-data-violations
• Sprint Corporation Forfeiture Order: https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-fines-sprint-12m-location-data-violations

In this letter to the editor, the author comments the story “Attempt to Pass AM for Every Vehicle Act in Senate Falls Short.” Read the latest update (“AM Radio Gets House Hearing”) here. Comment on this or any article. Email radioworld@futurenet.com.

Dear Editor,

In response to Sen. Rand Paul’s objection to the AM mandate as reported here: I wonder if I am missing something by proposing that the act be amended to mandate AM radio as an option, giving the consumer a choice.

Car and truck buyers can ask that AM reception be added at an additional cost, probably at most $1000 for extreme RFI cases found in EVs. But since the average price of a new EV is many tens of thousands of dollars, an additional $1K does not seem like much of an extravagance.

Of course for ICE vehicles the cost would likely be much less due to a diminished RFI problem with those motors.

AM could be added in at the dealer, or as a factory ordered option; those who don’t care don’t have to get it and those who want AM can have it. Everyone is happy right? Is there a problem with this?

— Rob Atkinson, St. Charles Ill.

This year, 90.5 WKHS(FM) is celebrating 50 years as the radio voice of Kent County High School in Worton, Md. The anniversary will be punctuated this Saturday, May 4, with TuneFest, an event filled with live music from local bands, food trucks, the opportunity to gather with station alumni and more.

“We see it as a way to celebrate with alumni from the past five decades and at the same time give back to the local community,” station manager Chris Singleton said.

March 28 was the station’s anniversary and its student DJs recaptured the sound from 1974 by spinning tracks on vinyl, including the song that christened WKHS a half-century prior, Elton John’s “Rocket Man.”

WKHS is one of less than 200 high school-operated radio stations in the U.S., and the only one in Maryland, with programming from sophomore, junior and senior students on weekdays during the school year from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM. It also airs specialty shows from community volunteers in the evening hours and it simulcasts 88.5 WXPN(FM) Philadelphia at other times.

“I never thought in a million years I’d be on the radio, but the response I hear from listeners when they acknowledge hearing me, you can’t help but have a smile on your face,” senior Ja Marcus Downs said, who, after enrolling in the broadcast pathway program, now aspires to be a sports broadcaster.

Organizers say Kent County High School students will be heavily involved in TuneFest. The event will take place at Red Acres Farm in Worton and will feature two stages, a 12-foot by 24-foot main stage for the performers within a converted barn and a smaller stage that the students will be commandeering, conducting live interviews with alumni including former station managers.

TuneFest will be simulcast live on WKHS in its entirety. The event’s name and its lineup of bands reflect the sound listeners have come to expect on the station. “We play every genre with the exception of classical and that’s what we have lined up on stage,” Singleton said. He’s already heard from alumni as far away as Seattle who will be in attendance.

Singleton, who also serves as a broadcasting teacher at Kent County High School, was a 1984 graduate of the WKHS program and is one of over 500 students who have completed the school’s broadcast pathway program in its history. Jim Hammond, its first station manager and a mainstay in the broadcast automation industry, and Washington D.C.-based broadcast engineer Fred Willard are among the notable alumni who have come through WKHS.

 Singleton himself was a broadcast engineer at several different Washington D.C. and Baltimore Delmarva area FM stations before returning to his alma mater. He oversaw WKHS’ installation of a GatesAir Flexiva 7.5 kW transmitter in 2022. As a 17.5 kW ERP Class B1 FM station, its signal covers a wide area from northeast Washington D.C. suburbs to southern New Jersey.

The station is self-sustaining through listener support and underwriting, providing a valuable asset to the community and at the same time invaluable first-hand experience for a new generation of broadcasters.

“The soft skills and public speaking experience the students receive we often hear is difference-making, no matter which field they end up entering,” said Singleton.

TuneFest takes place at Red Acres Farm in Worton and will run from 12–5 p.m. on May 4. Tickets are $25.

Take a spin through the RBR.com news archives, and you’ll see plenty of stories regarding Cox Media Group‘s long-contentious retransmission consent negotiations with Dish.

It just took Cox Media Group, controlled by Apollo Global Management, nearly five months to ink a new deal with the direct broadcast satellite TV services provider in December 2020. Then came a November 2022 impasse, which has left Dish customers either in the dark or leading them to alternative sources for local TV channels blocked, by law, from their respective lineups.

Finally, a fresh deal has been signed, with channel restoration now complete.

Hyundai Motor America and SiriusXM have expanded their relationship. 

“As part of the new agreement, the Hyundai and Genesis brands will introduce SiriusXM with 360L to their vehicle lineups beginning in 2025,” SiriusXM said in a release. 

The 360L platform is a hybrid entertainment system that combines satellite reception with streaming content, personalization and on-demand features. It has more music channels than the satellite-only version and can receive software updates over the air.

The companies also signed what SiriusXM described as a multi-year extension to their contract.

The announcement was made by Olabisi Boyle, SVP of product planning and mobility strategy for Hyundai Motor North America and Gail Berger, SVP/GM of automotive partnerships and SiriusXM. 

SiriusXM is available across Hyundai’s model lineup and is standard in several models. Customers purchasing or leasing a Hyundai or Genesis vehicle in the United States receive a three-month trial subscription.

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee won’t be getting a new low-power FM station in Milwaukee. The school has failed to convince the FCC’s Media Bureau to overturn an earlier decision.

Last year UWM had submitted an application in the LPFM filing window. But in January the FCC dismissed it for failure to meet minimum distance spacing with respect to co-channel station WMBI-FM in Chicago and second-adjacent WMTH(FM) in Park Ridge, Ill.

It seems the school had cited the wrong coordinates in the Tech Box on its application, so it petitioned to reinstate the application and asked for a rule waiver to fix the coordinates.

It said that while its application used inaccurate data, its second-adjacent waiver request had the coordinates correct. It also cited several earlier cases in which the FCC had allowed applicants to correct coordinates.

The Media Bureau now has denied the effort. It found no legal error in its decision or any precedent warranting reinstatement.

Under the rules, it explained, any application in an LPFM filing window that fails to meet spacing requirements will be dismissed without an opportunity to amend it. Further, the FCC’s public notice about filing procedures also carried a warning with the phrase “no opportunity to correct the deficiency.”

It said its staff relies only on technical parameters give in the application and does not review attachments or other information trying to resolve discrepancies caused by an applicant’s error. 

Also, permitting applicants to file amendments in this situation “would be unfair to the many applicants who fully complied with the rules and filing requirements.” 

Regarding four past reinstated applications cited by UWM, the FCC said these were not relevant. 

“The bureau reinstated those applications pursuant to its former practice to allow applicants to correct defective site coordinates where an Antenna Site Registration (ASR) number or technical exhibit contained the intended location of the transmission antenna, or in cases that did not involve the section 73.807 minimum distance spacing requirements.”

It said UWM can’t rely on these exceptions in this case for several reasons. For one thing, in a later case the FCC clarified that in future it would rely solely on the data in the application’s Tech Box to determine technical acceptability and it would prohibit applicants from fixing a location deficiency in an application with a prohibited amendment.

From 1984 to 1992 and for a final season in 1997, Boomer Esiason was perhaps the Cincinnati Bengals’ most prolific quarterback. From 1993-1995, he tried his hand as the QB for the New York Jets at a time when the New England Patriots were also-rans and Dan Marino was aging as the Miami Dolphins’ quarterback. The 1996 season saw Esiason serve as the Arizona Cardinals’ QB.

While Esiason’s tenure in the NFL in the Big Apple and the Meadowlands was short, his run in New York as a sports talk host has been the stuff of legend. Audacy Inc. has now ensured that Boomer’s time on the nation’s first ever Sports Talk radio station will continue.

In fact, Boomer is now poised to spend more time on WFAN in morning drive than the late Don Imus.

With representation by Esiason of his long-time business partner, Steve Rosner of 16W Marketing, Audacy has signed a multi-year extension that will keep Esiason alongside Gregg “Gio” Giannotti from 6am-10am on WFAN-AM 660 and FM 101.9.

The deal will bring Esiason beyond 20 years in wake-ups at “The Fan,” something acknowledged by Audacy New York Market President Chris Oliviero. 

“Boomer has become a true cornerstone in the long, storied history of WFAN. He was already the highest-rated morning show in the ‘FAN record books, and now, with this new extension, he will add longest-running to his accolades. And most excitedly, we are certain the best is still yet to come as Boomer begins this new chapter in his career by making a long-term commitment to the FAN, along with a creative vision for elevating the brand together to new heights.”

In prepared comments, Esiason said, “For the last 17 years, it has been an honor to be the voice that New York sports fans wake up to. I could not be more excited to continue delivering four hours of entertaining conversation at the most vibrant and storied sports radio station in the country, working alongside the morning crew. I would like to thank Audacy, Chris Oliviero, and, most importantly, our passionate listeners for the opportunity to continue on this incredible ride.”

It was in 2007 when Esiason joined WFAN as the co-host of “Boomer & Carton.” The “Boomer & Gio” program debuted in 2018.

Esiason also anchors the “Audacy Sports Minute” heard nationwide on the company’s sports brands and across the Infinity Sports Network. He also co-hosts “Kick-Off with Boomer & Valenti,” a nationally syndicated NFL preview program.

“Boomer & Gio” is also currently simulcast nationwide on The CBS Sports Network.

 

 

In private conversations at the 2024 NAB Show, some industry observers questioned if NEXTGEN TV was sputtering, with momentum to embrace the ATSC 3.0-powered technology fading. That’s hardly the case with some companies, as Sinclair Inc. is pushing ahead with potentially lucrative initiatives tied to broadcast data fueling the “internet of things.” Now Gray Television is sharing some of its more recent accomplishments as NEXTGEN TV continues to grow its nationwide footprint.

Everybody’s talking. With David Ellison’s 28-year-old Skydance poised to merge with Paramount Global in a deal engineered by its soon-to-be majority shareholder, Shari Redstone-led National Amusements, Inc., Bob Bakish is expected to announce his resignation with the release of the CBS News & Stations parent’s Q1 2024 earnings results following Monday’s Closing Bell on Wall Street.

Variety first reported Bakish’s exit as a fait accompli on Saturday, one day after business publications fueled the barroom chatter mirroring a plot line from the HBO series Succession. The rumors were catapulted into the headlines on Sunday morning upon reports that a joint CBS/Politico affair ahead of the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner was permeated with “confusion and anxiety” among Paramount staffers unsure of what was to come following what most expected to be Bakish’s announced departure on Monday afternoon.

As of 9am Eastern, Paramount Global had not formally commented on the news. However, it is widely expected that Bakish will make the announcement at 4:30pm Eastern with the release of the first quarter financial results for the company.

Ellison is widely known as the co-founder of Silicon Valley giant Oracle. 

Bakish first became familiar to RBR+TVBR readers in 2012, when he served as Viacom International Media Networks President/CEO, a role he earned in 2007. By November 2016, he had become Viacom’s third interim CEO in just three months, bringing a period of stability to the company before taking the role permanently in December 2016. At that time, Viacom discontinued the exploration of a recombination of the media company with CBS Corp.

By January 2018, the Redstone-led NAI changed its tune, as Shari Redstone amped up reunification talks. This set the stage for a leadership battle between Bakish and then-CBS Corp. CEO Les Moonves. Moonves in February 2017 had made it clear that CBS and Viacom were better suited as separate companies; he vociferously fought Redstone against the merger, eventually losing his role following an August 2018 report in the New Yorker that exposed improper behavior by Moonves and brought sexual misconduct allegations to the forefront. This paved the road for Bakish to lead what is now Paramount Global.

Now, short of his fifth anniversary in the role, Ellison’s group appears poised to take control of an entity that has seen significant changes in how it presents its local newscasts in an environment where digital media growth must not cut the flow of ad dollars to its legacy broadcast and cable channels and networks.

On word of the pending departure of Bakish, Paramount Global shares were up by nearly 6% in pre-market trading on Monday, to $12.58. Aside from mid-to-late March 2020, when COVID-19 pandemic fears torpedoed global financial markets, PARA, which trades on the Nasdaq GlobalSelect exchange, has been trading at five-year lows since the close of Q1.

Some 22 analysts polled by Yahoo! Finance offered their earnings per share estimates for the first quarter. The consensus EPS estimate is $0.36, up from $0.09 one year ago. Twenty-three analysts offered an earnings estimate, and the consensus is $7.73 billion.

Who says AM radio is passé? Inovonics has sped up its market launch of its new 526 AM Modulation Monitor, and shipping has now commenced.

Inovonics was expected to begin shipping the 526 in May. Gary Luhrman, Inovonics’ Sales and Marketing Manager, says the company’s production and development team was able to make final adjustments ahead of schedule.

The first 526 units shipped on April 25, and processing of 526 pre-orders has already ramped up.

The all-digital 526 combines detailed DSP signal analysis with a menu-driven touch-screen display, plus Webserver-based total access for remote operation, including measurements, graphical data and direct Web-browser audio monitoring of the off-air program.
