Our Story
Our Story
The year was 1982, 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 1986 when Jim Gilmore and Jim Reyland became partners. They restarted the company under a new 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 business because we didn't have the money, but we bet that six months later we would. We spent 27 years in that location until we purchased our own building a few blocks away at 914 18th Ave South. This location offers newer and larger spaces for the next generation of our growing company.”
