THERE’S A LION IN THAT RACK

The group purchased our LiON FM/HD processor for the January launch of El Pingüino 88.1 FM, Nantucket’s first Latin music radio station. The format is a diverse music mix of pop, salsa, merengue, and reggaeton, all now processed through the LiON’s intelligent AGC and distortion-canceling algorithms to create a dynamic yet dominant presence on the dial.

Another LiON processor was added for an HD channel. Both units join Wheatstone on-air and streaming processors already in use at Great Eastern Radio for its 19 stations broadcasting throughout greater New England. The regional broadcaster purchased Wheatstone’s multipurpose MP-532 AM/FM/HD processors for its Burlington, Vermont, classic rock and hot AC station acquisitions in 2022 and previously acquired Wheatstone Streamblade appliances to provision, process, and manage the metadata for the group’s 20+ streaming channels.
