Studio engineers and audio producers working in crowded RF areas understand the importance of avoiding signal interference at all costs. It can be tricky to find an available frequency and keep it for long periods of time.
At NBC WMAQ-TV Chicago (including WSNS-TV and WMAQ Studio Productions), the station multiplies that by a magnitude of five, as it operates four studios and control rooms in its main building, as well as a separate street-level studio located between the Hancock Building on Michigan Avenue and the Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower), about 1mi away. Each show — including such major syndicated shows as “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” as a remote, “The Jerry Springer Show,” “The Steve Wilcos Show,” “Judge Mathis Show” and “Judge Jeanine Pirro” — requires a minimum of 48 wireless mics, along with wireless video and other crew communication signals. (In addition to the syndicated shows, the team is responsible for the production and broadcast of news, weather, sports and original programming for NBC affiliate WMAQ and Telemundo station WSNS.)
