- Telos to Debut Axia Pulsar AoIP Console
Axia Pulsar A new AoIP console called the Axia Pulsar will debut from the Telos Alliance booth at the NAB Show. The manufacturer calls it a compact mixing surface for situations where a hardware console is preferred but space is limited. This might include small studios, newsrooms, sports venues and remote broadcasts. The surface has eight motorized faders and a touchscreen-based monitor section. It can be expanded up to 16 faders with an optional expansion unit that can be joined or installed in a split configuration. An optional browser-based HTML5 Pulsar Soft feature allows control of Pulsar consoles from a computer or tablet. It includes Pulsar Cast for remote audio monitoring. Pulsar uses the Axia StudioCore integrated console engine, which combines the power supply, a dedicated five-port AoIP network switch, audio I/O and the Pulsar mixing engine in a 2RU rack-mounted format. The Pulsar mixing engine uses Axia GEN2 technology, featured in the company’s flagship Quasar XR and SR models. It can work in a larger Livewire+ AES67 ecosystem. Senior Vice President of Audio Production Cam Eicher said in the announcement, “The small console landscape has changed significantly in the past several years, and while many customers are drawn to virtualized solutions, there is still a strong demand for a compact but highly performant hardware mixer.” NAB Show Booth: C1819 The post Telos to Debut Axia Pulsar AoIP Console appeared first on Radio World.

After selling off quite a few of its midwest stations it acquired in the big deal with Alpha Media last year, Connoisseur Media announced Tuesday it is growing its presence in Nebraska’s capital city. Connoisseur agreed to purchase NRG Media’s stations in Lincoln, Neb. The transaction is pending FCC approval and it is expected to close in the summer, according to a release. The stations involved are 1400 KLIN(AM) and its 99.3 FM translator, 98.1 KFGE(FM), 105.3 KLNC(FM), 107.3 KBBK(FM) and its HD2 translator on 94.5 FM. Connoisseur already owns four other full-power stations in the market, including 92.9 KTGL(FM), 96.9 KZKX(FM), 104.1 KIBZ(FM) and 106.3 KFRX(FM). Those stations came over in its Alpha Media deal that closed in September. The total number of properties — 11 — would put the company over market ownership subcaps. As a result, RBR+TVBR reported that Connoisseur will be filing for a waiver with the FCC to keep its stations in Lincoln. In a release, Connoisseur said the purchase is another step in its efforts to refine its portfolio by strengthening its presence in “priority markets.” NRG Media, meanwhile, also recently sold off its Wisconsin properties. Kalil & Co. was the broker for this transaction. Connoisseur Media had legal representation by Wilkinson Barker Knauer.

President Donald Trump dismissed concerns about rising gas prices, insisting they’ll be dropping “very soon” once the Iran war wraps up. Trump spoke to reporters at the White House on Tuesday after signing an executive order cracking down on mail-in voting, and when confronted about the sharp rise in gas prices since the strikes against Iran were launched, the president insisted the U.S. will be leaving Iran “very soon.” According to AAA, the national average for gas is around $4. One month ago, it was below $3. The country hasn’t faced a $4 average for gas since 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine. Trump argued that even though Americans are paying more for gas, they’re also feeling “safer” because of his strikes against Iran. He also insisted the war will be wrapped up in a matter of weeks as critics have questioned the timeline claims from him and others in the administration. He also insisted that had he not launched the strikes against Iran, the country would have obtained and used a nuclear weapon by now. “We have a madman that wants a nuclear weapon, and if we did not knock him out B-52 bomber, we would have a nuclear weapons right now. It would have been used before this, before today. And you may not be standing there asking that question, okay?” he said. The president said: All I have to do is leave Iran, and we’ll be doing that very soon. And they’ll come tumbling down. And stock prices were up today almost to a record because they know two things. Number one, we have a safe country. We had to take a little detour because we had a madman named [Ali] Khamenei who sadly is no longer with us. And we had regime change already. We’ve knocked out one regime, then we knocked out the second regime. Now we have a group of people that’s very different. They’re much more reasonable, I think much more, much less radicalized. We’ve had regime change. We’re dealing with people that are much more rational. And it’s very, it’s amazing what we’ve done. We had to make a little detour. So when the stock market broke all records just a few weeks ago, when it hit 50,000 on the Dow, 7,000 and the S&P, I said to the American people, it’s time that we have to make a little detour,… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - Trump Goes Off on Key Constitutional Tenet: ‘One of the Many Great Scams of Ou...President Donald Trump ripped birthright citizenship once again on Tuesday afternoon, claiming it was a “scam” that is being exploited by rich foreigners who come to the U.S. to give birth. Trump argued in a Truth Social post that went against the spirit of the 14th Amendment, which was passed after the Civil War to grant citizenship to former slaves. Here is what the president posted: Birthright Citizenship has to do with the babies of slaves, not Chinese Billionaires who have 56 kids, all of whom “become” American Citizens. One of the many Great Scams of our time! His post comes a day before the U.S. Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments in a case tied to a Trump executive order banning birthright citizenship, which grants citizenship to nearly everyone born on American soil; Trump signed the executive order on the first day of his second term. The Supreme Court will hear arguments after a lower court ruled his order was probably unconstitutional in July 2025. Trump has argued several times in the past that “birth tourism” must end — including on Monday morning — with the president saying it is an issue of national security and public safety. The 14th Amendment was passed in 1866 and ratified two years later in order to grant citizenship to Americans who were born as slaves. The amendment overturned the 1857 Dred Scott v. Sanford decision, which said slaves were not citizens. “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside,” the amendment said. Trump’s executive order said that the amendment “rightly repudiated” the “shameful” Dred Scott decision, but argued it has been “misinterpreted” since then. Trump’s order said the aforementioned clause about being “subject to the jurisdiction” of the U.S. is the X factor in the case — and means kids born to foreign parents should not become citizens automatically. “The Fourteenth Amendment has never been interpreted to extend citizenship universally to everyone born within the United States,” the order said. “The Fourteenth Amendment has always excluded from birthright citizenship persons who were born in the United States but not ‘subject to the jurisdiction thereof.'” Coincidentally or not, Trump’s post on Tuesday came about 15 minutes after Will Cain did a segment on birthright citizenship on his Fox… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
- Ex-Trump Energy Sec Warns ‘Iran Gets Exactly What It Wants’ If Trump Ends Wa...Dan Brouillette, who served as Secretary of Energy during Trump’s first term, told Stuart Varney on Tuesday he highly doubts President Donald Trump would end the war in Iran without reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Varney asked Brouillette to respond to a Wall Street Journal report from earlier in the day that Trump does not want to commit to reopening the Strait because it would extend the military campaign beyond his 6-week deadline. “I find it hard to believe, to be honest. If this is part of the negotiating strategy, as the Secretary of War pointed out, to get the Europeans, the Asians, and others involved to help us open the strait, then that’s fine — I understand it,” Brouillette replied, adding: But if it is truly accurate, if the Wall Street Journal story is accurate, then I think it’s highly problematic that we would leave that area without opening this strait. I mean, you think about this logically: if that were to happen, Iran gets exactly what it wants. It gets a ceasefire. It gets to keep this chokehold. And it looks more like a timeout rather than a deal. We’re simply going to push this issue into a future administration and into future economies. I think it’s a very bad strategy, if in fact that story is accurate. Trump later responded to the Journal’s report, telling the New York Post, “Well, I think it’ll automatically open, but my attitude is, I’ve obliterated the country. They have no strength left, and let the countries that are using the strait, let them go and open it… because I would imagine whoever’s controlling the oil will be very happy to open the strait,” Trump said. “I don’t think about it, to be honest. My sole function was to make sure that they don’t have a nuclear weapon. They’re not going to have a nuclear weapon. When we leave the strait will automatically open,” he concluded.

- Bill O’Reilly Pummels Podcast ‘Hucksters’ Like Tucker Carlson Pushing Draf...Bill O’Reilly slammed podcasters like Tucker Carlson and comic-turned-political pundit Dave Smith for being “scare mongers” who are peddling a bogus concern that the United States will bring back the military draft as a result of the Iran war. The cable news veteran said those guys could not be more wrong during an appearance on NewsNation on Monday night. “There isn’t one serious person that thinks there will be a draft. Not one,” O’Reilly said. “These are hucksters, these are scare mongers. It’s not going to happen, it’s ridiculous, it’s not necessary.” News Nation played a few examples of big-time commentators talking about the draft right before O’Reilly weighed in. “You’ll know it’s bad when they start talking about a draft,” Carlson said on his program. “Now what is a draft? Well of course it’s the definition of tyranny.” The broadcast then showed comic Andrew Schulz saying “you gotta tell us why we’re there first” before restarting the draft, followed by a clip of Smith and Joe Rogan speculating it would take half a million troops to occupy Iran. “Are we going to start a draft for the least popular war in American history?” Smith asked. O’Reilly laughed and shook his head when anchor Leland Vittert asked if those comments put “a lot of pressure” on President Donald Trump to wrap up the war. “Not unless Rob Schneider becomes the Secretary of War,” O’Reilly quipped — referring to the ex-SNL star saying the USA “must restore” the draft last week. He later said the podcaster arguments for a draft “just helps Iran.” O’Reilly’s comments come after pundits like Carlson and Megyn Kelly have questioned Operation Epic Fury over the last month. Carlson called the strikes that killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei “absolutely disgusting and evil” and argued the war was being “waged” strictly on behalf of Israel; Kelly similarly claimed it was “Israel’s war.” Watch above via NewsNation.The post Bill O’Reilly Pummels Podcast ‘Hucksters’ Like Tucker Carlson Pushing Draft Fears Over Iran first appeared on Mediaite.
