June 2012

The NAB Show may be over, but Radio magazine's show coverage is not! Our readers rely on the June issue to recap the latest technology displayed at the show. Plus, those who couldn't attend the show will get excellent insight on what they missed.

Also, we'll profile our Pick Hit Award winners for best new products exhibited at NAB in this June issue as well.

Make sure you have a solid presence in our June NAB Wrap-up issue and the industry's #1 circulation publication - Radio magazine. It's a great lead-in to the summer season in the radio industry.

June 2012 Editorial Highlights The Radio magazine Pick Hits of the 2012 NAB Show The original technology award, the Radio magazine Pick Hits, are in their 28th year. The top 20 new products of the convention are chosen by our independent panel of radio engineers and technology managers at the convention. NAB Show Review We'll have more news of products from the floor, photos, and news from the sessions. Facility Showcase: KSBJ KSBJ, Humble, TX, launched NGen Radio as a second format, and needed to upgrade its studios for the new program stream. While keeping the KSBJ on the air, the facility was rebuilt in place and uses a combination of digital audio routing systems in its infrastructure. Managing Technology: Repair or Replace? There comes a time when the ongoing maintenance costs exceed the value of applying the capital to replacement equipment. Kevin McNamara discusses ways to know when that point is imminent. Field Reports The Yellowtec iXm and Aphex Systems HeadPod4 are put to the test. Side by Side: Backup Power UPS, generator, flywheel systems; they're all viable solutions. We compare specs of some popular backup power systems.
