On the eve of the 2014 Winter Olympics, Westwood One’s VP-Engineering, Mitch Glider, joins us live from Sochi, Russia. Mitch and his colleagues have assembled a long-form studio plus several reporters’ workstations. Now the hard prep work pays off and engineering vigilance begins as hours and hours of Olympic radio coverage is fed back to New York for affiliate distribution. Mitch takes us through the studio build and the technologies employed to bring live commentary and reports from across the Olympic venues and ship the final products back home.
