Episode 795 of This Week in Radio Tech—“You Might Need a Data Center”—features Chris Tarr explaining how a smart infrastructure decision transformed operations across an entire station group. As VP of Engineering at Magnum Media, Chris made the case to centralize automation, file servers, and metadata systems into a purpose-built data center with robust backup power and redundant connectivity. The result? Greater efficiency, fewer site visits, and a more resilient, well-controlled technical environment. In this episode, Chris walks us through what a private data center can do for broadcasters—capabilities that often go beyond what cloud solutions can offer—and gives a live tour of the racks, systems, and network design. Join us to see how centralization, done right, can streamline your entire operation.
