Radio magazine is written by radio industry professionals for radio industry professionals. Radio magazine delivers in-depth technical expertise with the most-respected editorial content.
The magazine's roots go back to 1959 when Broadcast Engineering magazine was first published. The publication covered radio and TV for many years, but by 1993, the two industries had diverged enough that separate publications were needed to cover both well. In 1994, the first issue of Radio magazine was published.
Radio magazine covers the technology of radio broadcasting for engineers and managers at radio stations, networks and recording studios.
