The Annual Christmas Music Format Takeover: A Radio Survival Strategy – Fully Modulated

Everyone and their mother has a self help podcast telling you to find your purpose. I found mine: talking to literally nobody about broadcast engineering while slowly descending into madness. Self help is overrated, transmitter troubleshooting is forever. 🎙️📡

Kudos to Microsoft for making Windows Updates my top source of late-night registry edits and existential crises as a broadcast engineer. Thrilled to learn my 2016 equipment is now "outdated" for no clear reason. Compulsory updates? Call it progress! #WindowsUpdate #ObsoleteByDesign

Ridiculousness was 90% of MTV's schedule. What will they air for endless hours now? Teen Mom marathons? Catfish reruns? A camera pointed at their empty lobby?

KNAC makes a legendary comeback! I typically skip programming updates—there's a lot out there—but this is massive! Although I didn't grow up in California or tune into the original FM, I fondly remember streaming KNAC.com. #RadioRenaissance

Most broadcast engineers know what is critical and what is not, and what can be on-premises and what can’t. Also, a good engineer knows that you need a reliable backup Internet connection, but how about your cloud provider? Have you thought about that one? Let’s talk about it.

Do you have backup internet for your business? Radio stations need similar cloud backups. During an AWS outage, stations with only AWS went silent, but those with AWS and Azure backups continued broadcasting. Relying on one provider is risky; multi-cloud solutions are smarter.

New job needs Cisco skills so I'm buying a used Catalyst 3850 from some guy on Marketplace. Either walking out with a switch to practice VLANs on or becoming a cautionary tale. Honestly 50/50 at this point. 🤷♂️

Monday's AWS outage was a wake-up call for radio.
You wouldn't rely on single internet with no backup. Don't rely on single cloud provider either.
AWS primary, Azure backup. Just like Spectrum + Lumen.
