These days, streaming audio is everywhere, and the importance of streaming continues to grow for broadcasters across the globe. Simply having an audio stream isn’t enough – though it’s a start if you’re not already streaming now. Broadcast streaming audio has become such an important facet of many radio stations’ offerings that it’s making up a larger portion of broadcast revenues every year.
Because this essential technology continues to proliferate, there’s a lot to know – even for those who have been streaming for several years. Kirk Harnack, presenter for this webinar about audio streaming, notes that for those stations that are not yet streaming, right now is the perfect time to start. “It’s never been easier to get high quality audio out of your automation system or intercept the audio that is otherwise bound for your station’s on-air processor, and feed that audio into a PC running streaming software, or a hardware appliance dedicated to streaming audio.”
There’s a lot to know when it comes to streaming, and we’ll cover the most important technical topics in this webinar. “It’s nearly impossible for any one engineer or broadcaster to know all there is to know about internet streaming,” Kirk emphasizes. “The good news is, you can learn it in bite-size pieces, from beginning to end. And this SBE audio streaming webinar is a good place to begin or to update your knowledge.”
