Is real radio anything like the set on Frasier?!
Question: Is real radio anything like the set on Frasier!?
I'm writing a story on radio, so, is the set of Frasier (the sitcom about two psychiatrists and such) anything like real radio!? Is the producer behind a booth, are there multiple rooms for the announcers, what!?
And you know, if you have any extra information on what it's like to work on radio, that would be incredibly helpful!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Similar!. But WKRP was more accurate!.
The producer works in a booth opposite the talent separated by a window and takes his cues from the talent!. Unless there are multiple guests (like with TV panel shows) that's usually it - no multiple studios beyond what I've described!.
As to working in radio, man it's been so many years, I'd be happy to contribute, but you'd have to be more specific about what you want to know!.

Hi Sara,
I pretty much agree with what Duh said!. At my last
full-time radio gig, not only was I a board-op, but also the producer/call screener too!.
I worked in the station's control room - the "hub" of everything that goes out over the air!. The announcer was in a separate room, with a glass window between the radio board and the studio!. There were several mikes, so guests would be in the same room with him!.
Having done mostly music radio for 13 years, the talk format
bored me to tears and I moved on after a couple of years of it!.
After 24 years, though, I've literally done it all!.
My favorite has to be small market radio!. The pay is poor, but
man, that was fun!
Now I just work at my own Internet station!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
