Nice working environment: PowerHit Radio uses the TASCAM Sonicview 16 for live streaming from the Vilnius TV tower.
In 2023, PowerHit Radio, a well-known online radio station in the Baltics, embarked on an ambitious project to bring their show closer to their audience by touring Lithuania with a mobile studio.
