The concerts were usually recorded with a mobile recording truck, then mixed and edited for broadcast on the show within a few weeks.

In the 1970s, the show was sent to participating radio stations on reel-to-reel tape.

In 1980, D. I. R.

began using the LP format, producing the show on a three-sided, two record set.

The first show on compact disc was a live retrospective of the Rolling Stones broadcast on September 27, 1987.

By the year 2000, King Biscuit was using CD-R media to distribute the show.

These tapes, records or compact discs were accompanied by a cue sheet which gave the disc jockey a written guideline of the content and length of each segment of the program.
