As Radio Contracts, Syndication Surges Q&A: Records President
October 5, 2020, Issue 725 As Radio Contracts, Syndication Surges Consolidation, debt load, competing platforms and a pandemic have compounded into furloughs and permanent personnel cutbacks at radio. Arguably, the last several months aren’t as much a cataclysmic transformation as a greatly accelerated evolution. Amid the decline, there does seem to be at least one major growth area – syndication. Country Aircheck spoke with several with new and growing shows in the space for thoughts on the shift and resulting opportunities. “The pandemic has definitely sped things up, as there’s economic pressure everywhere,” says United Stations’ Andy Denemark, whose daypart show Backstage Country is Andy already holding down nights for Beasley Denemark stations. “Network radio has been growing in lots of different ways, and it’s all about Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Curb team celebrates Lee Brice’s resources, meaning that we provide resources two-week No. 1, “One Of Them Girls.” Pictured (top, l-r) are that local stations need.

The Red Devils: Connecting on the Field of Battle
Click here for the online version. This e-mail was created for [email protected] Monday, November 12, 2018 Volume 6 | Issue 221 The Red Devils: Connecting on the Field of Battle Paratroopers from the Army's 1st Battalion, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, nicknamed the Red Devils, are on the front lines of military technology, testing phone connectivity under battle conditions at Fort Bliss in Texas. The Fort Bliss Bugle explains the unique field concerns that soldiers face. While civilians rely on a network of cell towers to connect their calls, the Army has to carry its own network with it. The digital network that was in force, Nett Warrior, had too many limitations and was unwieldy to use. “Nobody was using the Nett Warrior devices,” said Maj. Andrew Miller. Armed with commercial available smartphones and tablets, the soldiers began their assault on the new Integrated Tactical Network (ITN). The ITN seeks to extend the range and flexibility of communications on the field. Following the lead of the Special Operation Forces team, the Army set out to create a decentralized system that would allow soldiers to talk within their units without needing to link back through a command center first. The signal would also need to circumvent attempts to jam a signal or disrupt satellite communications. The Red Devils have continued to test the ITM during each continued phase of its development. Continue Reading Seattle Tower Site Fire Cause Under Review Authorities are trying to determine what caused a tower fire Thursday morning for a master FM antenna at the Tiger Mountain tower site.
