HT Music and Entertainment – India

Telesto provided technical assistance in the planning and implementation of the new FM radio stations for Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore. The client, a major media business in the Hindustan Times Group, are innovative and leaders in the burgeoning and new market for FM licensees in India and the station architectural, acoustic and technical design reflects this.

Fever 104 has a format that includes a mix of Hindi Bollywoood hits, Indipop and English music. .

Fever 104 Delhi was able to use the existing 17 story HT Building in Delhi and the top floor and roof was completely renovated to allow the construction of world class studio and office facilities and at temporary steel transmitting tower.

Telesto was required to provide a functional, practical and future proof solution for the studios. The mixing console chosen was the Klotz Aeon in split configuration with routing and distribution via fibre utilising the Klotz Vadis router. This combination offered a cost effective solution retaining much of the flexibility of the larger DCII used in Virgin Radio Thailand. Innovative use of control logic allowed many of the transmission path switching functions usually only associated with he larger DCII consoles which have a separate control layer to be implemented. The system is fully digital throughout and uses Radio Computing Services software for scheduling and playout. Production is provided using DigiDesign ProTools workstations.

The three studio centres used a common design and the studio layouts were kept the same to minimise construction and design costs as well as facilitate the build.
