How is modern radio station equipment similar to? Are the cd players and videotape players gone?
I am curious as I used to work at a radio station back in the 90's where on earth the old equipment was used. Basically the mixer beside the cd players, cartridge players, telephone strip, microphone line, satellite news adjectives connected to it. So what is different about that setup now within radio stations? So yeah wondering what role the computer plays for the dj??
Answers:
CD players are still around, but turntables are mostly gone. Cartridge players are pure history, Network stuff is mostly delivered by Satellite and telephone are now used on air for chief call ins, but we use modem style codecs and ISDN lines for remotes. At the 6 stations where I am Chief Engineer we enjoy three computers in each control room for key music and commercial playback, recording and editing for playback telephone caller, internet access, special effects, and most of the DJ's bring in their laptops which we interface with the consoles and networks. I hold about 10 Satellite receivers for multiple things, 4 ISDN systems, 5 POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) codecs for digital audio, T1, Microwave and VHF RPU equipment. there is a turntable out in storage I can bring within if we really need it, cassettes are occasionally used, digital audio tape is pretty old hood, I have no reel to pin machines in service, and even minidisk is becoming obsolete. We burn CD's beside audio to keep, and send and receive audio over the internet.

Quite often immediately, pretty much all of the audio is played back via the computer. The computer is repeatedly replacing the DJ since the basic program clock can be automated. Of course, there still is a mixer and mic, at lowest possible most of the time.
The first station I ever worked at had two turntables, a cassette deck,
a reel-to-reel and 3 cart players. It used a phone patch to connect to the smudge for the ABC and Mutual news feeds. We played 45 rpm store for most of the broadcast day.
And, people unanimously only lost their jobs when stations sold..not due to the format transmute of the month.
My station now can be operated any way, as I still like doing some of the behind the times shows every week. Source(s): 24 years in radio
