SLIDESHOW – Why choose DRN?
SLIDESHOW – Bottom Line = $$
The most challenging and risky venture of my career thus far has been the Dance Radio Network LLC (DRN). I wrote the business plan and formed the company to distribute syndicated programming via satellite to affiliate U.S. stations. As an engineer, I also built a trigger tone automation system so that affiliate localized announcements would play at designated times according to the program clock. After meeting with the president of iBiquity, DRN was later mentioned in an article for quality programming alternatives for HD Radio.
