ROVER, host of the nationally syndicated "ROVER's Morning Glory" radio show has unveiled ROLLING GLORY ONE, his customized, 53,000-pound, 13-feet-tall and 45-feet-long tour bus which serves as his mobile radio-TV studio.
“As we expand our syndication footprint, I wanted a way to be able to visit and interact with fans around the country," ROVER said. "We don’t want to be a show that people think of as coming from another city, we want to broadcast from every city!”
Completely self-contained with both satellite uplink and bonded cell connections, ROLLING GLORY ONE can broadcast video and audio from any location in the U.S. The advanced technology onboard ensures the audio and video quality is equal to those produced from the show’s main studios, based at iHEARTRADIO Rock/Talk WMMS/CLEVELAND.
“If we were just producing audio, it would have been a much easier project,” states ROVER. “But with RMG-TV, it adds an insane level of complexity.”
The bus includes four bunks, a master bedroom, two bathrooms and a shower, so show staff can be on the road for weeks at a time.
The entire project was engineered by ROVER himself. “We don’t travel with an engineer,” he said. “So it was important that I have a complete understanding of every system onboard ROLLING GLORY ONE in case we need to troubleshoot on the road.”
ROLLING GLORY ONE’s next trip will be to LAS VEGAS for the iHEARTRADIO MUSIC FESTIVAL, SEPTEMBER 22nd-23rd.
