Great news, just announced on the New England Radio Stations Facebook group. My favorite of Stephen King’s three radio stations in Maine, WKIT, will be staying on the air.

That’s Debbie Daughtry with Stephen and Evie Colbert at WNYC, just ten days ago. WNYC recently announced another round of layoffs and today on LinkedIn, Debbie announced that she’s looking for a new job. Debbie does not live by Boss Radio 66 alone!

1-Track Tape
Techmoan discusses a piece of audio equipment that I used to know very well in my radio days. A Spotmaster broadcast tape cartridge deck.
The sample he has could record as well as play tapes. Those were used in the production studio at the station where I worked and I had one in my little news room.
I produced a countless number of carts for news broadcasts. Those were either taken from phone calls recorded on reel tape and edited onto cart, or dubbed from cassette recordings I made in the field.
In the broadcast studio there were Spotmaster decks that only played tapes. Those didn’t have a VU meter. Another difference was they had a large, square play button that lit up when the tape was running. Much better for working live on air.
The Retro Radio ZON in Maine
Let’s give a listen to another of Stephen King’s three radio stations before they all tune out. If I were to vote on keeping one of them on the air, which would it be?
