I read it was at the "Brazil Building", apparently in S. Lake Union.
Older versions of Pristine Automation had this function.
This post reminds me of something I was thinking about quite a while ago. When KXIX in Bend ran the Kradick morning show, I would hear about 15 minutes or so before the end the following message:
Our station tape-delays this show, so listeners won't be able to participate in on-air contests. The show probably isn't on tape though. This got me thinking in general about phrases we still use even though the technology they reference is long gone.
TV news still uses the terms: SOT (Sound On Tape) and VOSOT (Voice Over Sound On Tape)
Even though, there is hardly any tape being used for TV news anymore.
Word is John Travolta was self quarantining, until he discovered it was actually just an old reoccurring case of Saturday Night Fever... https://instantrimshot.com/
I read Cumulus Atlanta is under quarantine and most air staff now work from home and now Trump is talking about a Washington State travel ban.
It's gonna get SUPER crazy here starting next week with the kids at home and people working from home ("BRANDON! STOP PLAYING X-BOX! I can't upload these voicetracks!")
Speaking of which with Seattle Public Schools closed, is KNHC set up for remote control? Or will it have to go automated?
This looks like a hell of a trial-by-fire, seat-of-your-pants learning experience not just for the radio class of Nathan Hale. But everybody across the industry. While the tech for remote home studio radio has existed for a long time, this is new. Because it could be deployed on a scale we've never seen before.
I remember KING-5 did a story on KKFX ("K-Fox 1250") morning jock Veronica Weikel back in the early 1980s as she did her show live from a walk-in closet in her bedroom via a 2-way radio while a board op at the station did everything else. She's the earliest example I know of in this area of radio-from-home. Were there others?
Some paradigms are going to shift before this is over. Especially if it gets so bad, we have to do what Italy is doing.
Buckle up...

KNHC has had automation for years, since the late 80's. They're good to go.
That's really not a bad idea. I'm looking at Rode Rodecasters and thinking about having my air staff connect via Tieline to the studios for live shows, VT remotely for tracked shows. We're equipped

I see Radio Insight now has an emergency list of voicetrack announcers in case stations are unable to broadcast with their current DJ's. Could happen in smaller markets if WA has an all-out mandatory quarantine. Also R.Dub is offering Sunday Night Slow Jams at no cost to stations as emergency programming if needed.

4pm Sunday. A smartphone plays it's ringtone.
"R.Dub speaking"
"Yes, this is the PD of News/Talk 540/107.9 in Palookaville. Well in short, in the last 48 hours half the nation is likely infected, western civilization is breaking down, our last host has been quarantined from her own house, the news networks are falling apart, the EAS is kaput and right now, every radio station in America is down to your Sunday Night Slow Jams show. Make us proud" (Click.)
The Coronavirus crisis is really illuminating the main fault with voicetracked shows. News is changing so rapidly that voicetracked content cannot keep up. In one particularly example, a syndicated host on one iheartmedia station was trying to provide information about polices that are impacting Washington State, but this information was already out of date, as the state government had already mandated stronger measures shortly before. It's not as if people are tuning into a music station for critical information, but in the case of an emergency, shows that are taped many hours before can be problematic.
A syndicated talk host or morning show (which is essentially a talk show with a few music breaks) is only delayed, in some cases, for time zone differences.
In some cases, syndicated morning shows do some bits in advance, but those would not be topical. In the case you mention, the syndicated show might well have been live, but things are changing in so many states and jurisdictions that a comment on live radio may be outdated the moment it is broadcast.
Some stations, on their own, record and run syndicated shows in a different time period. They risk being "off" based on that decision which is their own, not that of the show or the syndicator.
"Voice tracking" is different from talk-based shows. Voice tracking is the creation of generally short pieces of audio that go between songs on a music station. The tracks are laid down in a short period of time and then inserted in a music show over many hours. The term is, I would say, exclusively limited to music based formats. And in most cases, the content is not news-based topical.
Naturally, there will be an exception or two... but this is generally the way it works today in radio.
Yes. It was tracked from a station ahead of time on the east coast. Syndicated was the wrong word to use to describe the scenario.

Funny I don't remember them being concerned about mistruths making it on their air while Adam Shiff was presiding over the house impeachment hearings which they aired live...
As a matter of fact I don't remember KUOW ever fact checking Adam Shiff when he made up his own version of "the perfect phone call."

In those broadcasts, his comments were countered with equal time by president's lawyers. No such option in these briefings.
That would be cool if Naval Base Kitsap could simulcast their AM 1640 temporarily on LPFM 103.3 or 107.3 from their tower at PSNS? (Just point the transmitting antenna west) That tower there is just like 300 yards to where I live....
What a ludicrous comment. Unlike comments around politics, inaccurate or "alternate facts" provided by the Administration and governor's of at least nine Red States since February, have delayed action toward preventing hundreds of thousands lives being taken. Fact check that.
