Garage and old transmitter building
The studios were originally in downtown Lansing, about three miles north of here. The transmitter site was manned 24 hours a day, and the engineers here kept busy building equipment for the station. They designed and built their own tape cartridge recorders and players, audio monitors, remote amplifiers and anything else they could. They also operated the transcription recorder, which cut actual records of the locally-produced commercials that were sent over an equalized telephone line from the studio. The engineer would start a recording and the announcer at the studio would begin his session. If he made a mistake, the engineer would scribble that section of the record so it could not be played. When the session ended, the engineer labeled the record and it was driven back to the studio for play on the air.
