Behind the mediaplayer

To have your transmissions on the internet you need more Pc equipment than additional radio station. The heart of Pro Fm are 4 computer systems.

Without those it's impossible nowadays to make radio so you will find several of them in the Pro FM studio's. Beside computers Pro FM has a studio which will be used for doing live shows.
