The building that once housed the busiest fire crew in the city is almost ready for its new life as the broadcast home of Spokane Public Radio. Over the next several weeks, SPR will complete construction, and finish the long list of final details. The new facility is on the National Historic Register and has recently been added to the local Spokane Historic Register. Brass fire poles have been restored, the upstairs maple floor refinished, brickwork and windows repaired or replaced, foundation and joists reinforced, and so much more. Additional fine-tuning must take place before SPR begins its move. Workers are installing the electrical framework for security and additional cable for data and broadcasting. The most immediate basic digital equipment need is $147,200 (along with $36,800 that will still come in matching funds from the State). For the technically minded, we need a digital broadcast AoIP studio broadcast infrastructure and digital station automation and audio file storage
