Larry Crane founded Tape Op in April 1996. John Baccigaluppi and Larry became partners late 1999. Larry primarily is the editor and John the publisher, though they confer on most issues and John has input as to content.

Can I get my organization's or company's content up on the Tape Op website or social media?

Short Answer: No.

Long Answer: If we tended to every request to place content on our website or social channels we'd literally have no time to do anything else. We focus on working with our current advertising partners (who support us and allow us create content) to amplify their marketing efforts and use our channels to work together with them to bring our readers and 165k social media followers compelling and useful content. It doesn't mean we only post advertiser content, but what we do post is soley at our editorial discretion.
