How to Build a Sound Identity for Your Radio Station

Video sneak peek  A radio station isn’t just about what it plays—it’s about how it sounds over time. And that comes down to one essential (and often forgotten) element: structure.

[lwptoc]   What Exactly Is a Programming Grid? The programming grid is the backbone of your station. It defines what plays, when, and how. It provides order, meaning, and rhythm. It’s what turns a collection of content into a listening experience. It doesn’t have to be rigid, but […]
