94.5 The Buzz in Houston was supposedly the first station to use a technology that allowed you to stream a live video signal from the radio studio to web users. That system is called iSEEradio, a subsidiary of WhiteBlox. Supposedly the video signal
had unintended consequences for morning man
Rod Ryan:
At KTBZ in Houston, the first Clear Channel station to use iSEEradio, Rod Ryan does the morning show. Fenton recalls that “when they began streaming his show, he was heavyset and didn’t pay a lot of attention to style. But he was getting so much recognition that when people would see him in person, they would start commenting on his shirt or whatever he was wearing in the studio.
“Pretty soon, Rod started losing weight and getting in shape. It was like being on TV every day. It gave him more social status, a visual presence. In fact, some of the DJs have gained more confidence from it.”
