carlwelden Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Yes, I was fishing for some freelance VO leads. WKZE - TWice and the door was locked both times. WKNY - "we do all our VO work in house, sorry" WGNY - "The Manager is out, but here's his card" At least I learned that the staff are required to put in an amount of hours doing production and since they're already salaried, they don't hire freelance voices unless requested specifically by clients.

Voxjunction Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I may be straying a little off topic here, but this site may be of interest. This guy has linked a series of UK commercial and BBC studio webcams on one page. An anoraks delight !

JBVoice Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 hmm...Not sure if its considered a commercial studio however I was at broadcasting school and they have a 25 watt FM station called Radio BIM, its pretty cool and all the students use it for practice and also for news for the small part of town that it covers I just was in there today, I'll take some pics...they have some pretty nice equipment -jb Jon Bova "Successful people have libraries.

carlwelden Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Yes, we all want to drool over gear. My wife says I'm obsessed. Perhaps it's because I call out the models of microphones I see when we watch movies together. http://leakshare.com/wp-content/plugins/IMDB_Tag/cache/movie_0841046_6797c4f6771d9460601fae7221df18e2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzacore Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 This is the console/whiteboard (as per the jock view) of the WRCN-FM studio that I work at. http://downloads.thebjradioshow.com/IMG00160.jpg to the left of this view is the equipment rack pod containing the CD players, and 2 symetrix 528E units, Telos One hybrid, etc.. To the right of this view is the Automation Monitor (ENCO DAD system), and hard right, on the side of the L desk is the internet machine with some other various equipment, such as the TieLine base unit. Here's another view from the door of the studio http://downloads.thebjradioshow.com/IMG00159.jpg Sister station, WLVG-FM - air studio http://downloads.thebjradioshow.com/IMG00150.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brayds2006 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I visited my local FM station back in 2002. I was quite young at the time but I definitely remember it was during the Breakfast show, about 8AM. I got some photos, but it was on an analogue camera and it contains people. I do remember though that the studio was small! Very small! It could barely fit 3 or 4 people and the walls were wooden panels. I do believe since then they have built a bigger studio, thankfully.

producerpinnell Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Not so recent, but I visited my then local station Fox FM last year... (I've moved since!). There wasn't a reception, but it was very VERY nice. As it was then owned by Gcap Media and branded under "The One Network", it had lots of One Network bubbles around, and a bit of historic Fox as you walked into the building..., a giant Party In The Park poster! Listening to the station last week online, the presenter had said he is loving the new portrait of Gary Barlow from Take That in reception..., I expect it's now full of Hearts and things. I'm yet to venture into my new local stations - Severn Sound and Star 107.5, but hopefully soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Equilizer Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 My extent to visiting a commercial studio was about 1 1/2 years ago. I was part of an on-air interview. I was a supervisor over a deaf, autistic woman at my job at the time and the radio station was interviewing the company that we hired her through. I spoke about how that woman was working out as my employee. It was exciting to actually speak on a terrestrial radio broadcast. Hopefully one day I get the opportunity to do so again. But this time, more often. ;) Not an amazing story but it was cool to see all the equipment and be part of such. EDIT: The studio was for 104.7 KDUX FM (Classic Rock) and 1420 KXRO AM (News and Talk). I was on the AM broadcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
