COVID-19 forced many of us in the radio industry to make changes. To move and adapt, and to step out of our comfort zones to keep life’s various wheels spinning. Now that local economies are reopening and advertisers are beginning to populate the airwaves, we are all eagerly awaiting a return to “normal.” But what…

”Hello RCS, Happy Holidays, we need help.” The 2019 holiday season will soon be upon us. Thanksgiving, (here in the US) Christmas and New Years are historically a time when it’s near-impossible to reach people and get anything done.

Country has always been a popular radio format, and there seem to be an almost unlimited number of stations and syndicated services playing variations of country, country and western and Americana. It begs the question, does the world need another country music service? Gimme Radio answers emphatically – yes! The two-year old startup has a…
Summertime provides boundless opportunities for radio stations to do live remote broadcasts. What made a recent remote from Nisswa Minnesota’s KBLB -B93.3 a bit different is that they used Zetta2GO to broadcast from a boat in the middle of a lake. As B93.3 morning personality Bill Satre explains, it was a logical choice. “We were…
