Also... it's kind of weird taking a decentralized system and recentralizing it.

What happens to these platforms when there's nothing left to access them? That's where we're headed.

And just wait until they find out that compressor/limiters came about for reasons other than shaping the dynamics of music. If you're not slammed against the wall, your AM broadcast signal isn't going far.

This sounds like a great thing for people that beat their domestic partners. Make it harder for their victims to escape.

While I don't do the radio part of radio, I actually have a proper radio automation setup at home running into an icecast server for my own in-house use.
