During my time at WEOS/
WHWS (2007-11) we carried a LOT of live sportscasts, usually over 100 each academic year. As such, I got to know a lot of different ways to get audio reliably from the field back to the studios. Towards the end, one technology we started looking more at was simply using a netbook and Skype to get audio back to the studio. Can it be done?
Yes it can! But there are some minor caveats - read on to see how it works...
