Die jingle kennen we nog wel. En met hulp van de "Karel" alias Plan V 466 gebeurde dat vandaag ook in een rondrit naar o.a. Enschede en Zwolle (van en naar Hilversum). Als Veronica Express met radiostudio aan boord passeert de 466 hier Holten, onderweg van Deventer naar Enschede. 09-06-2023. Foto Erwin Voorhaar
The station began broadcasting as WLIQ in 1961. The call letters were changed in 1980 to WPCY. The call letters changed again 1981-1984 to WIXO. In 1984 the call letters changed one more time to the historic WMOB, one of the oldest call signs in Alabama radio. (The original WMOB began broadcasting 1939.) The station is located on
the US-90 Causeway in Mobile. WMOB ceased broadcasting in 2020 and is for sale.
Sadly - the operators decided to cease transmission from this studio, and indeed to cease tx at all! So it has now been sold off - and exists no more - ah well :) - I leave my original comments below - but clearly most of them now have no foundation.........
I built this studio (even the woodwork!) - and I programme music on the Internet 24/7/365 - a mix of oldish stuff which I like (Beats playing CDs!) and some recent stuff - No DJs - just back-to-back music with the sparodic jingle to help transitions..... (no Rap - and nothing to set your nerves on edge! - this is "ear candy" according to ME - god its good to be the programme boss!)
Tune in and let me have your comments - For PC you'll need Winamp - which you can get on the site. Mac users can listen using iTunes. All of this is done as part of TTV - a Luxembourg cable TV company - which I freelance for.
Best with Broadband - otherwise you could find the audio skips due to buffer problems - this is down to the fact that we send out a very high quality signal.
Once you have loaded the Sunshine Radio stream and it is playing via Winamp - you can continue to surf the net - Winamp will keep streaming the audio until you stop it.
I welcome proposals for the playlist - perhaps your choice will get aired - so make it a good one!

At last, my latest Ideas project has been approved, which means I'm ready to share the images!
I've been working on this build on and off since 2018, so I am very excited to finally show it! The idea for it came shortly after I finished my 1.20-metre-tall "Ruined Communication Tower", in 2017. I really enjoyed that build, both how it looked and its construction, so I started thinking about how I could adapt it to a feasible LEGO set scale. A good number of iconic radio-tv towers have been released through the LEGO Architecture line, but never a minifig-scale one to put in your LEGO city.
Enough rambling for now! 😄 If you like what you see, head to ideas.lego.com/projects/a6ded12f-0703-4eaa-8e30-3b7739473a0f , and support! :) Cheers!

Btw, does this pic appear blurry to you when viewing it in my photostream? It does to me, but it's sharp when I zoom in. 🤔
I preferred to do my gig with the overhead fluorescent lights on, but turning them off gave the studio a pleasant ambience.
There's nothing quite like doing a first show at a radio station! You're actually simultaneously learning how to use all the hardware AND focusing on keeping up a seamless program with no on-air errors.
The show simulated the format, pacing and energy of vintage Top-40 radio, specifically the Bill Drake formatted stations like KHJ in Los Angeles and CKLW in Windsor, Ontario. I used 1960s and 70s digitally remastered jingles, promos and contests from my collection and copied them to tape carts for airplay. The show also featured real vintage commercials for products which no longer existed.
As a weekend show, I had complete control over the contents. The show was a mix of well known tunes along with copious amounts of B-sides, as well as many album tracks which should have become hits in their time, but never did.
At 10,000 watts, we were getting calls and requests from most of Connecticut, Long Island and even parts of upstate New York.
Often long-distance listeners on the internet would also call in to make requests and comment on the show.
I had a key to the transmitter room and would crank the Aphex Compellor audio compressor settings WAY up to give our broadcast output that old-time sound of loudness and punchiness.
Every show was recorded on VHS-HiFi tapes and I've since remastered them to CDs for my aircheck collection at home. In fact, I'm listening to one right now as I write this!
Easily removable sections allow for good access to the interior.

Original 1950s photograph of the mobile radio studio for the ORTF.
It was built on a 1952 Panhard 45HL chassis, with body constructed by Antem, and designed by Philippe Charbonneaux.
No doubt that this extravagant truck was constructed for publicity purposes too.
After it had been served as a studio for a few years it was bought by a circus.
In the 1970s it was bought back by Philippe Charbonneaux. After a restoration it became part of his private car collection.
In 2015 it was on display in Musée Automobile de Reims Champagne, Reims, during a special exposition about the creations of the French car designer Philippe Charbonneaux.

He also had an oldies show, but the approach was completely different. While my show was fast paced, highly energetic and reminiscent of vintage Top 40 and its "forward thrust" formatics, his show was laid back and educational. After each set of tunes, he would discuss the the back-stories of the artists and songs just played. I learned a lot listening to the tales and insights he spoke about to his audience. He was an absolute font of information and fascinating trivia about 1950s, '60s and '70s music.

A friend and fellow radio nut took this shot using my Pentax Auto 110 camera. The smallest SLR ever built, it used 110 film!
I was the last DJ at the station to still use these. They gave my oldies show a real old-school sound between tunes. Besides, it was fun to fire them off during song intros and get the "magic overlap" up to the start of the vocal that modern automation systems aren't capable of doing.
About 6 months later, I landed a permanent slot on Saturday evenings from 6 - 10pm, which lasted for 19 years until I finally resigned in 2009.

That's board-op Colin Kennedy and DJ Johnny Williams behind the studio window. (man, did this this guy have a great, DEEP voice!)
For years as a teen in Milford, Connecticut, I could pick up CKLW at night and recorded them on hundreds of hours of tape. At 50,000 watts AM, they came in clearly on most evenings on the East Coast.
This was one of the tightest, fastest paced, dynamic and funky stations I've ever heard. Being within miles of Detroit, they played a lot of Motown and other R&B tunes you never heard anywhere else. In large part, my love of radio began in this little studio so far away from where I lived. In later years, I had my own Saturday evening radio show on a Connecticut FM station, strongly influenced by the sounds and pacing of CKLW.

Reminds me of the 1973 hit tune by the Three Degrees, "Armed and Extremely Dangerous!".
I've placed some Flickr notes on the photo for more details.
This is the only remaining copy of the original print. The photo and text were published in the 1979 yearbook in the section describing all the student activities which were available. I honed my radio skills at WRNU which later resulted in a 19 year weekend gig on a Connecticut 10,000 watt station.
That was a plastic pellet toy gun which was almost always present in the studio. Being young and dopey students, we used to occasionally "shoot" our fellow DJs with thin, green plastic disks when they were on the air. It was all in good fun.

In de buik van het schip is- net als vroeger- weer een radiostudio geplaatst, waarvandaan live programma's worden uitgezonden. De apparatuur verschilt echter wel beduidend van de vroegere analoge studiotafel- maar gelukkig heeft men ook twee "ouderwetse" draaitafels toegevoegd om échte plaatjes te kunnen draaien....Nog t/m 17 februari is het Veronicaschip voor het publiek toegankelijk.

(Radio Broadcast in Netherlands (NEI) Nieuw-Guinea, 1956. Photo via Rene Roks. Also we see a (Philips tuner ? ) in the background on the audiomixer. A stopwatch after the technician and on top of the tuner a timerclock. The items and materials where radio magic was made of.
KOFI-1180 studio Kalispell, Montana. This station used to dominate the western U.S. on this frequency.
A extraction from a TV documentary about the 50ties in the Netherlands. This is a shot from a old AVRO Radio in promofilm that appears in this docu. So I think this is a AVRO radiostudio in mid 50'ties in Hilversum in the Netherlands. Never been seen by me is the equipment seen here. So I don't recognize the audiomixer/switchboard and turntables, not even the microphon is recognizable. Is this before the NRU or it's follow up the NOS are standardize the most radio and TV studio's in the Netherlands? Een foto die 'getrokken' is van een NPO-2 documantaire over Nederland in the 50'er jaren bij omroep MAX Dit zou volgens mij van een oud promotiefilmpje van de AVRO radio zijn. Ik heb nog nooit zo'n audiomixer / switschboard gezien al de andere apparatuur is mij onbekend. Was er toen al standarisatie in de Radiostudio's zoals later bij de NOS?
I was trying out my iPhone 11's ultrawide camera recently, seeing if I could get any half decent shots with it in anything other than bright sunlight. It is sort of possible, but not with Apple's in-built Camera app; this tends to apply a huge amount of denoising and other sorts of processing which results in extremely mushy images.
This was taken from within Lightroom Mobile which does a lot less processing of the files.
This was with the studio lights turned right up, and balancing the phone on the top of a chair for some vague stability.
It's still nowhere near the quality of what I can get with my other proper cameras, but it's a passable alternative, and great to have that 13mm equivalent focal length for wide shots like this.
For anyone that doesn't know, I'm a sound engineer at the BBC in London, and since the pandemic I've still been going in to the studio every day to record, edit and mix programmes made by Radio Current Affairs. These days I've been making our weekly programmes like More Or Less, The Briefing Room and How To Vaccinate The World, all on Radio 4.
An interesting interior view of the BBC's first home in Leeds and a building they themselves vacated in the early years of the 20th Century after which is was remodelled by architects Fielden Clegg. The actual building, now known as Old Broadcasting House, was origianlly a Friends Meeting House (for the Quakers) and had been constructed in 1866-68 and designed by Edward Birchall. The BBC must have acquired it as they strengthened their regional presence in the 1920s and '30s as this image dates from c1933/4 and shows the work undertaken by the Leeds based architect John C Proctor.
It is suitably 'modernist' as was the case in London's Broadcasting House of 1930/32 and has obviously been designed, understandably, with acoustics in mind. Otherwise, as suited radio broadcasting at the time, it has elements of a well heeled drawing room of the period with very fine chairs and matching furniture to allow broadcasters and artists to sit, rest and read! No doubt this interior was, in turn, much modified in BBC days especially with the introduction of TV broadcasting but it is a glimpse into radio history when the medium was 'new' and 'important' as seen it its design and architecture.
Here we see Bart van Leeuwen in one of the landstudio's of Radio Mi_Amigo during the proces of his daily radioshow in the morning on Radio Mi Amigo. We cleary seen two Garrrards 401's turntables with SME tonearms. We see also one Revox A77 and a not familiar to me TEAC taperecorder. Also we see a pair of TEAC cassette recorders a A450 and a A-170 or A-140? in front of Bart. and a unknown audiomixer. Bart is using probably a Sennheiser MD431 microphon. The spotmaster not visible although the big stacks with cards on his left are evidence that there are spotmaster in use in this nice radio studio.
Since coronavirus and lockdown I decided I wanted to stay in the same studio every day at work and not have anyone else using it. It helps me feel a little bit safer and happier about coming into the building everyday.
I went with the end studio, S48, and I’ve been pretty happy there for the past three months. I get to have it nice and chilly, plus I have the lights set to an ‘art gallery’ level of dimness which suits my light-sensitive eyes nicely. I've shot this view before, and this is merely an update of a very similar snap of the studio which I took 5 years ago. This time I have the small benefit of shooting on a tripod at the camera's base ISO ...
