TWiRT 611 - The World's Tallest Remote Boy with Charles Kinney

What does "The World's Tallest Remote Boy" know about radio remotes that WE don't know?  Let's find out together!  Charles Kinney with Cox Media Group, including the legendary WSB AM-FM in Atlanta, is our guest TODAY on TWiRT. We recount the way we handle remote audio and signalling for decades - before the Public Internet came along - and what techniques we’re using now to get audio from live, outside broadcasts back to our radio studios.
