Time to say goodbye to the old WKTI studios. The last time we remodeled, 1989, we moved from the old studios in the back corner of Radio City on Capitol Drive in Milwaukee, to the new location you see above, in the middle of the building, created over the site of the old performance auditorium used in the 40's.
This time it's just an equipment re-do, and it starts by going all the way down to the bare floor. The studio actually sits on a 'computer floor,' 18 inches above the original concrete. This photo also contains a "rare" shot of AJ from the new Mathew Blades in the Morning show actually working.
New carpet is in, and here's the new work areas (some assembly required.)
It's a modular setup. The large hole in the front is for the main control board, and the smaller one in the back is for an auxillary control station. Because all our audio is now stored on computer, the cabinets that used to hold CDs and tapes around the perimiter of the studio are gone. We've got some lobbyists trying to convince the Governor that we should be able to open a dog track in here. This shot contains another rare photo find, engineer Scott P. Can you find him?
Equipment is in, the flat-screens are up, the microphones mounted on their booms, and we are ready to rock. The biggest problem is figuring out which mouse goes with what monitor. We're also still waiting for someone to spill the first malt on the speaker.
