TWiRT 441 - My Kitchen Control Room with Steve Rubin

What does a station owner do when there are live broadcasts to be done, but no one is available to run the board at the studio? Steve Rubin, CEO of Rubin Broadcasting, runs his stations from his kitchen at home. He screens phone calls, runs live football broadcasts and sales remotes, and even puts himself live on-air when needed.

What’s his secret?  We’ll find out!
