ABSTRACT
Radio remote broadcasts, both live and recorded, are effective ways to connect station with listening audience and sponsors. While the electronics have become more compact and user friendly, remote planning remains complex, particularly for the larger ones. The size and scope of remotes varies from covering a small news conference with a single microphone to a large public event with multiple microphones and a remote truck. Digital audio recorders are great improvements over previous analog recorders. A station might choose to broadcast from a commercial business in the local community—perhaps a bookstore or a car dealership—in order to promote something like a charity event or festival. Larger remotes require greater lead-time to plan. Whether the remote is a music performance or a panel discussion, you will be planning a multiple microphone setup. Radio remotes provide an excellent way for broadcasters to connect with their communities and provide listeners with uniquely engaging content.
