The focuses of most of my blogs have been the innovative new
opportunities that the Internet has created for broadcasters and video
producers. Live streaming video is a great way
for anyone with a web cam or video camera that connects to a computer to
instantly distribute the video all over the world via the Internet. There have been many innovators but the most
prevalent medium that has adopted this new technology has been radio. It is now available to radio stations to
share live video stream of their radio shows simultaneously while their show is
being broadcast over the radio air waves.
The radio show has essentially become television as well.
One great pioneer of this practice has been Kidd Kraddick. David “kidd” Kraddick has been a broadcaster
for many years functioning as a morning radio show. His show has been syndicated to over 40
markets covering a good majority of the country.
This show has embraced the ability of live streaming video as well as
audio over the Internet and becoming one of the first radio shows to do so. Doing this has lead to greater opportunities
for Kidd to showcase the program on actual television. The live streamed program was picked up to be
featured on a daily magazine program, called Dish Nation, focusing on the current
gossip surrounding popular celebrities and other current affairs. Kidd has also
used this broadcasting ability to raise money for a great charity he calls Kidds Kids. This charity raises money to send terminally
ill children to Disney world once a year.
It was announced on Saturday July 27, 2013 that Kidd passed
away while at a fundraiser for his Kidds Kids charity. Kidd Kraddicks show has
brought smiles to many people around the country. He will be missed.
