Our Story
The year was 1982 and Audio Vision was incorporated to produce a nationally syndicated radio program called “The John R. Richbourg Show,” starring legendary WLAC blues announcer John R. Richbourg. Unfortunately, the program was short lived. AVI continued in various locations until 1985 when Jim Gilmore and Jim Reyland became partners. They restarted the company under the name Audio Productions, Inc, operating from the basement of Jim Gilmore’s home. The studio quickly grew and within months moved to a location on Music Row.
API president Jim Reyland . . .
“In the mid-eighties we had to move out of Jim Gilmore’s basement if we were going to be taken seriously. The problem was cash flow, didn’t have any. So, we made a deal with a Music Row builder to build a studio for us and give us six months free rent (upfront) in exchange for a long-term lease. It was risky because we didn’t have the money, but we bet that six months later we would.”
API spent 25 years in that location until the retirement of Jim Gilmore and the greatest audio engineer to ever command a fader, Travis Turk, in 2010. Now solo, Reyland and Lon Helton (Country Aircheck founder and host of CCUSA) purchased a building at 914 18th Ave South to house both of their companies. This current location offered newer and larger spaces for the next generation of this growing company, establishing a popular clubhouse for the record labels and their high profile artists.
