This is a view of the console or board. The two screens directly ahead control the Radio station. Everything in this system is digital and stored on a hard drive including songs, commercials, promos, etc.

The computer on the right is hooked up to the Internet and also includes software for editing phone calls. The long rectangular object directly below this computer's keyboard is a phone interface for answering incoming lines.

Below the console, you can see a flexible keyboard, two mouses and the red box is a remote control for the phone call editing software. Once a phone call is ready for playback, the DJ can just press the play button on the red remote instead of using the mouse to click a software control.
