The workers are still working on wiring, but we're back in the saddle again at WCLV, broadcasting from the Idea Center at Playhouse Square. The changeover had its starts and stops, but we never looked back after the switch at 10:25 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 8.
Packing finished up on Thursday, Dec. 9, and the movers arrived at 14th and Euclid Friday, Dec. 10.
Those of you in broadacasting know I'd be lying if I told you that everything went absolutely smoothly in the control room. A temporary CD player that had a carousel was chucked out as too slow and not-intuitive-to-operate. May it languish on the bottom of Lake Erie.
The other CD player was much better, but rickety. At one point in last Friday's show, neither CD player would play, so until I could change that result, I augmented the spoken word with my duck call and a whistle in the shape of a satyr. Who knew that one day I would channel Steve Allen?
Our full computer array is not up yet, but we're working with a notebook computer the size of a very large makeup compact on which I switch among tabs for news, weather, traffic, and show prep.
There is much more glass in Master Control here than at Radio Ranch. Thus, the "Radioquarium."
