As an old radio personality and engineer, it's so strange to see stations voice tracked. So much is missed now days for younger people coming into the biz. I started out running on air midnight to 6 AM totally live. There wasn't any such thing as computers in the studios. On air mistakes was just part of the job, and learning how to come out of them. Back timing programming was 9/10ths of the art and running on the fly. Loading CDs and selecting the correct tracks, loading tape cartridges containing spots as well as music. Multi tasking recording spots and promos on the same console that is on the air in audition but also having to pay attention to the length of the song before it runs out. Cuing up records on turntables. Actively running the show and talking live on the air 4-6 hours strait. Taking transmitter readings and EBS/EAS test. There were also contests where with some you talked to the listener live on the air complete with mistakes. Some cases like requests or call ins we recorded the calls on a reel to reel. Had to do all this while monitoring the current on air programming.

Amen, Brother, amen. There was a time when the all-night show was just that. No pre-recorded dj, just the hits,coffee (lots of coffee) and the all nite truckers, h**kers and cops kept listening. 3 to 4 am was sometimes murder to get through, and the morning man ( not team) rolled in 5:20 nursing a hangover. Now that was radio, not this corporate, sanitary, digital bs! Oh, "social media" was the request line, and if the local newspaper media critic had something good to say.

As a nightshift worker (6pm-6am), I really appreciate the feeling that I'm not completely isolated in the world (minus the odd Dennys or 7-11) and to hear a real person who's up and working at the same time and is really "with me" rather than just a program. I can listen to anything I want over the internet, but you can't fake a live DJ.

i dont work at a radio station but thats my dream job

I own my own radio station and TV network and I love this video. Showing our audience what we do is fun and getting them connected amazingly. Do more of these fun videos.

Those studios look nice and comfortable. That should take the boredom out of work and make it fun. "12 am," or "midnight," makes no difference what you say, both are exactly the same phrase. Keep on doing what you are doing!

Great job i plan on having a soon so I love why your doing.

I 🧡 ur intro & I’m living for the content. 🙂

I have my own private radio station, on Spotify. Rather than hiring a licensee, i have my own playlist of sentimental RNB songs.

I got out of radio in the 80's...glad I did. This type of radio looks so boring.

Radio is now robotic crap. Prerecorded DJ's....ugh.

So fresh. U did phenon girl!

I have many friends who are or were employed by your current employer. One of them was let go from voice tracking her shift due to the implementation of Martha Quinn being added to multiple stations. Your current employer doesn’t have a problem removing humans from their payroll. That’s sad, but it is what it is. Enjoy your time with that company. Have a backup plan. Because in the end . If they don’t want you employed there. They will let you go.

That’s all you had to add? She’s super talented, gorgeous and will go from strength to strength, I know lots of midnight shift DJs that went on to be successful.

That Re-20 front grill... i mean...

Too bad you didn’t work in radio when it was real radio, live 24/7 when owners and managers actually gave a crap about the product. You really missed a terrific experience. Sorry to say, this isn’t radio. I was so fortunate to play the hits on some of americas greatest stations for a lot of years. Saddens me greatly to see what’s happened to a once great and fun industry.

these haters stuck. in. the. past. 'well back in my day.. . 🥺😮‍💨 we had.. blah blah '

So it would seem that what we now call a station is a studio complex serving multiple media outlets, you know, the things we used to call radio stations. It was always inevitable that it would take this current form like it or hate it.

Beautiful

Hhaha voice tracking is great zetta is a another big one of the radio world very cool

Good job! I'm in the process of putting together a reggae show at a station in Philadelphia after being away from the business for 50 years.

He said all 50 people. 😂. Thanks for the insider tour.

I wish we will open our hip hop radio station soon

Subbed, I like your car studio lol..

I have a die-hard passion for radio, but radio needs to go back to live instead of VoiceTracking. I know IHeart also uses Premium Choice :(

Thanks

I live in the Orlando area as well. I'd like to work here. How hard is it to get a job here?

❤🎉😊

I have an Internet Radio Station, and I actually have the EV RE-20 mic :)

New frinds wellcome to you

Do you still do radio station still though

Radio is pretty much dead compared to the 60's, 70's & 80's. The reason radio can be summed up in two words... "talentless talent." DJs today have little to no ON Air talent, especially when compared to DJs of the 1960's and 70's. Imagine if you will, using a present day DJ in the movie American Graffiti. Sounds pretty stupid, right? Well, yeah! DJs of today do not connect with their audience. They don't make the audience feel entertained and by all means they don't make the listening audience feel that personal connection to the DJ.

Not sure what this is, but it’s not the radio that I know.

Thanks to Clear Channel and I Heart....this trash is now supposedly radio. A computer generated "show" is not real radio.

you forget the minimum of 2 times to touch your hair.... 🤦‍♂

Oops you left the hospital and fully handled the mask in your hand and then brought it up to your face. Hope you didn’t get sick! Hospitals are the worst place to touch a mask.. The nurses taught me how to remove it using each finger on the strings and dump it in a bin.

I can undarstand you english langwes mam

Do you have to be experienced to work there?

To work in a market the size of Orlando, experience is a necessity. Radio does not pay that well, either.

Whats it like working in radio?. Don't know since you can make more money working at Walmart!.

if someone cared about Walmart, they would go watch a video about Walmart, not a radio station

It was much better when FM was "underground". Not crappy AM like it is now. Same garbage over and over. Commercials up the yoohoo. Just crap. Stoned sounding DJ's played whole albums sometimes. Great times. Now days you'd think on a "classic rock" station the only song Deep Purple had was "Smoke On The Water".

You forgot to show all the backstabbing, rampant narcissism and blatant sexual harassment that goes on in radio, but other than that good job..
