When the weekly live broadcast of 1130 AM KQNA’s “Weekend Spotlite” entertainment show went on the air Thursday night it marked the first time in the Prescott area for the station to use a digital virtual private network to broadcast.

Weekend Spotlite host Ken Byers and his guests hit the local airwaves from the Lariat at the Quality Inn in Prescott Thursday at 5 p.m. with a newly installed wireless antenna by Bulleri Networks of Prescott making it KQNA’s first live show to broadcast without the assistance of any telephone services. In the past the live broadcasts used analog phone lines and low frequency transmitters.

Byers, who is Arizona’s Hometown Radio Group Vice-president of Broadcast Operations and host of the popular show, said Friday that broadcasts of the live Weekend Spotlite show are now as crisp and clear as any directly fed program giving the radio audience a distortion free listening experience.

Upcoming live shows such as the “Adrenaline and Moore” show featuring Arizona Adrenaline indoor football head coach Drew Moore will also feature the new technology. The show begins March 26 from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. and will also broadcast live from the Quality Inn every Wednesday during the season.
