Hey engineers - when I worked for a small station (KBIA) we invested pretty heavily in systems of automation. WAV to MP3 drop folders, auto-imports, volume leveling, so on. At WBUR this is the opposite, it seems everything is manually fired, and things are basically run the way they were in 2004.
How much does NPR leverage new system interconnect technologies, and how much of it is still done manually? If manually, does this need to change, or are those stations focusing more on automation making a mistake?
