In September 2005 I visited my old college radio station again (KAYE-FM 90.1 at Northern Oklahoma College in Tonkawa Oklahoma) and they had done a big remodeling job. The only thing that still existed from when I worked in there was the temperature gauges. I visited a couple years ago and it's pretty much the same.
It's sad to note the station runs pretty much on auto-pilot now and the radio broadcasting class is down to around 10 students compared to 30+ in the 1980's.
To see what the same room looked like in 1989 - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5663553/

I thought that was a strange place, you'd think the desk would have some rack slots for it. I bet it was built by the college woodshop.
As for the Denons they were for DJ Live shifts or training. I worked at 4 radio stations that used them. While they were really handy, they'd always wind up dieing after about a year of 24/7 use.

Those little ringer lights were handy in the studio, you don't want to hear the phone ringing while on the air. A lot of small town radio stations used Radio Shack equipment, cables, cassette decks, phonograph cartridges, mic stands etc. I got a job at a AM radio station in Claremore OK in 1985 that had been shut down for a few months, but all the mics in the building had been taken! So we went to the local Radio Shack and bought a bunch of their mics and used them for a few months until we could afford "pro" mics.
