Radio Stations & Their Multiple Dimensions

Radio station is a term that you listen to almost everyday. But do you know what a radio station exactly is? If you are curious to know how a radio station works and what are its different types, you have come to the right junction.

A radio station consists of three different wings,

• Programme Wing

• Engineering Wing, and

• Administrative Wing

The first two wings look after the running of a programme that is broadcasted, while the third one is concerned with providing all the support and assistance that is required to run a radio station effectively.

RADIO STUDIO

In a radio station, there are two studios. One of them is designed in such a way that no outside noises reach the recording corner. This is done with the help of sound lock system, which makes sure that recording is done without any inclusion of sounds like chirping of birds or barking of dogs, etc. The heavy doors of the recording studio never allow any external people to enter so easily. Only the people in concern remain in the recording studio of a radio station.

Another studio is a small-sized room, where the presenter plays the list of songs and airs advertisements in between. This is called the announcer’s booth or transmission studio. This rooms is filled with computer, CD players, tape desk, mixer, etc.

WORKING OF A RADIO STATION

The main technical area of a radio station is the Control Room (CR). Whatever is run in a studio, whether it is a spoken word or playlist songs, everything is sent here. From the CR, everything is transferred to the transmitter.

The actions of the studio are converted into signals through this transmitter, which then reach our radio sets.
