Abstract:
“From the control board at the Orpheum, PHC travels via underground phone lines to the tiny Satellite Control Room on the fourth floor of Minnesota Public Radio, from there by cable to MPR’s transmitting dish in a junkyard on the East Side of Saint Paul, and from there 22,300 miles to Western Union’s Westar IV satellite…”

A lot has changed technically since that was written over 30 years ago for the 10th anniversary of "A Prairie Home Companion." You’ll hear a little history and a lot about how the technology has changed and will change the production and distribution of this iconic radio program.
