Nice and different Studios

S

secondchoice

Has anyone ever worked at or is familiar with stations with nice, unique or weird studios. With Voice Tracking studios might become be heading towards extinction.

A couple come to mind:

WCOL announcers could see the traffic on the street. There was the dress hanging out of the car door incident but that's another tread. (Jealous Husband)

WXIL had studios in a shopping mall. It was cool looking at the studios while shopping but I seriously doubt there were a lot a sponcers in the mall.

A 78-year-old man was evicted from his studios in 1992. He played all the styles of music you would expect for someone that age, and his plan was to move into the mall across the street where people could see inside the studio. It never happened. The station had equipment problems and went off the air for the last time on Christmas Day.
 
edge 102 Toronto used to have a street front studio..... AND they left the door unlocked most of the time.

it was the 90s _ after the spirit of radio
and before Corus Entertainment
 
"The Bunker" in Albany, most widely known as the WTRY studio and tower site, but later had 4 stations in it. It was at the end of a residential road down a steep hill in an old concrete building. If it snowed you might as well just spend the night. Open fields and the AM towers next to the building.

Shag carpeting. Transmitter for the AM was upstairs in the Classic Rock studio. The afternoon jock on the classic rocker had to manually change the pattern each afternoon. After lunch, management emptied out and were 10 miles away at the main offices where the other half of the stations were.

Every night was Friday night. We'd get the stick and ball producer downstairs to let girls in and make beer/cigarette runs for us. The air staffs hung out in the studios all the time even on their days off. Good times. We had fun, it was a blast every single day. The on-air product was incredible.

Eventually things merged into one building and it became a tower/transmitter site. I assume it was game over after that.
