Audacy Nearing Bankruptcy

[ContinuousWave]

KIKK is a computer in a closet. How much of a distraction or substantial cost can it really be for Audacy?

You should have pursued a broker's career, Mediafrog. You want to sell off everyone's facilities for them. 😅

That's pretty much status quo for every radio station these days, a computer in a rack or closet..

Have you been inside these stations, and are they literally computers in closets? Maybe they sit empty most of the time, but I really don't think they're run from closets.

Maybe servers, but not closets.

One facility I worked at had 2 stations quite literally run from closets. The place was run out of a former single family house. The former "his" closet in what was once the master bedroom was used for one of their FM signals and the former "hers" closet was their AM. Just 1 rack in each closet with satellite receivers, the automation computer that switched input sources and aired the liners and spot breaks on cue, the AES equipment and they had I think 1 sound mixer (not really a proper "console") for doing production work, creating spots, voicing weather forecasts into the automation computers, etc.

Granted, this was two years ago. Yes there is a rack room, but also a few studios.

Does anyone else think Audacy is the absolute worst major company in terms of stations? The others as a whole sound a lot better.

You have to be an iHeart employee with this take.
