Depot Hill Media was an Internet Radio network formed in 1997 by Leonard Eisen. The network had dozens of channels spanning a wide array of genres. The world headquarters for the company was based out of Poughquag, New York, where the broadcast facility and programming offices were held.
The company announced on September 1,2008 that they were filing Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection citing losses of 15.7 Million dollars, and a declining market in Internet Radio. The World headquarters (DHMPLEX) closed on September 11,2008 to the public, and closed for staff on September 12. As of late, the Website is still currently up, the one remaining station Fly 104.9 has switched hands, and the company and its office are now defunct.
The office was undoubtly the largest broadcast facility for Internet Radio in North America. Covering an area of 18,000 square feet the office had 12 on-air studios, so that each channel had a studio, a Digital Production Services department, who was in charge of creating station identifications and imaging sweepers. On the main level you'd see the Main Lobby, with the front desk, a live projection of the shoutcast panel with the TLS exact to the second, as well as billing and Listener Care. Proceeding through the door on the east side of the Main Lobby would take you down the main hallway to the left was a Men's and women's restroom facilities, to the right an MFDR. Continuing down the hallway reveals a kitchen with soda fountain on the North side of the building, and on the south side a Recording Booth for voicetracked shows.
At the next interchange the hallway split, turning right at this point took you down a small hallway torwards the stairwell and Staff Laundry. However continuing down the hallway is a PVT Edit Room, and then a Supervisors office, past that is an Emergency Exit, and the site of the former lobby.
