Boomer's On the Air

The former 106.7 tower would fall on Flowery Branch.

It would. The point being, the current one wasn't making the program the othe revening. Whether dur to inversion or equiopment problems.

I just heard the audio “burp” during the Randy and Spiff show which is live so it not like there was no one there to hear it. I have never been in the 106.7 / 101.5 studios so this is pure speculation. I wonder if instead of putting an “audio delay” to handle the digital delay caused by the HD dropping out on a car radio then switching back to analog, if Citadel did not hook up an HD receiver / monitor and run into the analog audio chain. This could account for the frequent brief but very annoying dead air I keep on hearing. Also you are “double processing” the analog audio which could give you a compressed “AM” sound. I know one of the stations that I did some consulting work for did this but their tower and studio were together. They had a switch that turned off the HD feed from the HD monitor and would switch the analog audio feed straight to the control room. There were instructions for turning on or off the HD taped to side of the equipment rack.

The talentwon't hear it because of coding delay they monitor off air. I assume they're still pver in Circle 75, when the studios were built they were a showplace. They've had problems since they moved to the current tower.
