Ever wonder what it takes to keep major-market radio on the air from transmitter sites built at the San Francisco Bay—and studios where space is at a premium? On Episode 798 of This Week in Radio Tech, we’re joined by Shane Toven, Chief Engineer for Cumulus Media in San Francisco, who shares hard-earned insights from some truly unique installations around the Bay. From towers rising out of the bay itself to high-demand remote broadcasts at sporting events, concerts, and local businesses, Shane walks through modern, practical techniques for getting reliable audio back to the studio. He also reveals how Cumulus is rethinking the Technical Operations Center (TOC) with an unconventional design and workflow that maximizes efficiency in tight quarters.
