Together they point the way tomorrow&#8217;s radio stations will\u00a0move and control phone and high-fidelity audio \u2014 without a lot of configuration by the radio production and engineering teams.<\/p>\n<p>In our booth George had put together a great &#8220;talk radio show&#8221; demonstration with all of the show elements. People that came by were blown away by how easy it was to put together a full radio station, take phone calls and integrate remote studios. All together the <a href=\"http:\/\/backbonebroadcast.com\/BB\/backbone-production-suite-radio-production-tools\/\">Backbone Production Suite<\/a> reduces overall production costs and makes it much easier to get your programming put together.
