TWiRT 761 - Cloud-Based Audio Consoles with Clay Walker

Explore the broad array of virtual processing platforms available for Radio broadcasters and hear the real-world experience of planning, installing and operating a cloud-based audio processing and distribution system from someone who’s already done it. Clay Walker is here to talk about what Audacy is doing now with cloud-based broadcast operations. Clay’s unique position at Audacy places him squarely between broadcast content and broadcast engineering and IT.  He and Chris Tarr compare notes and progress regarding virtualized broadcast operations, when it makes sense to implement it, and whether to go with public cloud services, local data centers, or on-premises deployments.

Guest:
Clay Walker - Vice President of Content Operations at Audacy

Hosts:
Chris Tarr - Group Director of Engineering at Magnum Media, Inc.
Kirk Harnack, The Telos Alliance, Delta Radio, Star94.3, South Seas, & Akamai Broadcasting
