Planning for a digital future
In 2005 American Tower was approached by current and prospective tenants to consider modifying the aging antenna and its combiners to transmit HD Radio. The result of this project is an antenna installation with greater capacity, additional redundancy, and natural transition path for the stations to go digital.
100 years 100 innovations
As radio broadcasting celebrates the 100th anniversary of Fessenden's Christmas Eve broadcast, we detail the top 100 technical innovations that have influenced radio, as nominated by you, the reader.
Built solid
The foundation of every studio begins with the studio furniture. While the furniture determines the growth potential of the room, conversely, the room will also dictate the type and style of furniture used.
The Finishing Touches
Once the studio furniture is in place, it's time to install the equipment, right? Not yet. Cable management, air flow and the finishing touches of mounts and access holes must be addressed.
Open Mic: Barry Thomas
Lincoln Financial Media's VP of Engineering Barry Thomas discusses the company's HD Radio roll-out.
Sample and Hold
The number of stations transmitting HD Radio signals has nearly doubled since September 2005, and Ibiquity hopes to see 1,200 stations on the air by the end of this year.
Tools for installing and maintaining an HD Radio system
Ibiquity continues to develop the tools and resources available to stations adopting HD Radio technology. They recently released four white papers that cover networking assessments for HD Radio, which provide useful information to stations making the HD Radio transition.
Implementing Surround
When WGUC initially made the transition to HD Radio in 2003 it was looking forward to the added benefits it would bring, such as the ability to broadcast 5.1 surround sound. The station is now transmitting surround broadcasts whenever possible.
Staying Connected with STLs
With the trend toward digital audio transport, and lately data transport, a whole new generation of radio STL systems has been developed.
HD Radio for a statewide network
Radio magazine has covered several HD Radio installations at the commercial broadcast stations, so it was time to look at noncommercial side of radio to see how one radio network was making the change to HD Radio.
Night at Brant Rock
Dec. 24, 2006, will mark the 100th anniversary of Fessenden's audio broadcast. Learn about the innovator and the technology he applied to make it work.
Serving the public
Enhancing its visibility and interaction with the listening public, WUNC's new radio facility is located at site of the American Tobacco Company where Lucky Strike and other popular cigarettes were once made.

Financial Growth
Radio engineering salaries have been growing steadily since 1997. Our annual salary survey compares today's results with the statistics of 10 years ago.
KPAM moves forward
Pamplin's new studios would be extensive: two on-air studios, one control room, one news anchor booth, one full newsroom, one traffic studio, three production studios, one master control and a server room. In the end, the upgrade positions the station to be ready for the challenges of the future.
Colorado Symphony Orchestra Opens Season with Live 5.1 Surround Sound Broadcast
KVOD, Denver, will broadcast the Colorado Symphony Orchestra's 2006-2007 Masterworks season opening program on Sept. 16 in 5.1 surround sound, using Neural Audio's 5.1 technology for analog and HD Radio.
Complete control
This national, progressive-entertainment, talk radio network--known for its outspoken personalities--launched in March 2004. There's a lot going on in this facility, and thanks to digital routing, Air America Radio maintains complete control
