The WNOE-AM control room in the WNOE Building, 529 Bienville Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans in 1975. The news studio was through the glass at the back. The Program Director's "hotline" to misbehaving disc jockeys was the light-colored phone atop the console and digital countdown clock just to the left of the copy book.

All the songs at WNOE-AM were recorded on tape cartridge, and played back from this six-pack of tape cartridge machines. The weather instrumentation above, like that at most stations, seldom worked.
