All hell's breaking loose as we try to move immediately to our swanky new studios. For now, we're at the old studios. We're all over the place, no time even to write to you the blog that nobody reads.
11:11pm. Monday.
I just got back from Menards to buy a few tables to set up a mock arrangement in the new studio. I figure it's a decent investment to put up a mock studio, to see where I want the rack, the compressor, the pre-amp, the wiring and the rest before plunking down a few grand for modern, modular furniture. There are so many choices to make. We have, basically, a really cool empty room with windows on all four sides and in the middle I gotta choose the broadcast furniture, which in turn sets the tone for the whole room. A primary choice is do you want things at desk height or counter height? 6:22am. Sunday.
WJOB and JED.tv are in the middle of two huge transformations - a physical one and a digital one. But in the end if it all works out I’ll be one step closer to living the life of columnist Herb Caen from San Francisco. Physical transformation. Yes, after 60 years in the same building, we’re moving the studios of WJOB. We’re going seven blocks to Purdue’s ultra-modern building on Indianapolis Boulevard a couple of blocks from the most truck-traveled highway in America – Interstate 80/94. Indianapolis Boulevard itself carries a ton of trucks, especially in the morning when they’re leaving the refineries, steel mills, chemical plants and pallet manufacturers. It’s truck nirvana driving south on the Boulevard at 7am, and it’s this truck nirvana that will provide the visual backdrop of my morning radio as TV show. |
I run radio stations and a streaming video network in Hammond, Ind., and write this blog.
