On the Airwaves
As a child, you marveled at ancient history and the beginnings of technology when your experience was at the Museum of Natural History or the Smithsonian. Today, the child inside you marvels at the pop culture of your youth when your experience is at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. Now you can bring that sense of wonder to the child inside your listeners through the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum’s Alan Freed Radio Studio.
Since its opening in 1995, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum has had more than four million visitors, from as far away as Japan, England, Australia, Germany, Canada and every state in the United States. The music has touched their lives, and the museum has become a part of that cultural experience.
Hundreds of radio stations, program syndicators and networks have conducted remote broadcasts from the museum’s glass-enclosed studio, coming from such far away places as Alaska, California, Colorado, New York, Michigan, Louisiana, London, British Columbia and Guam.
There is nothing that compares to the sights and first hand experiences shared by radio professionals and visitors alike. Janis Joplin’s psychedelic colored Porsche, Jim Morrison’s Cub Scout shirt, Bono’s very first guitar, Jimi Hendrix’s guitars, the CIA letter to Paul Simon, Ringo Starr’s Sergeant Pepper uniform, the jacket Elvis Presley wore on the Ed Sullivan Show, Kurt Cobain’s electric guitar, two of Duane Allman’s electric guitars and so much, much more!
These exhibits, along with the audio archives of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, envelope the history of rock and roll and its foundations. This is pop culture that your listeners want to experience and the Rock Hall gives you an amazing source of content for a broadcast like no other. From unbelievable information that is the basis of your show prep, and amazing archival nuggets that can become compelling and entertaining trivia to play with your audience, to the insightful stories from those behind the scenes at the Rock Hall, a broadcast from the Alan Freed Radio Studio is the portal for your listeners’ museum tour that will ultimately cause them to make the pilgrimage to Cleveland.
