Special recognition goes to FCC agent David Doon, former agent, Phillip Kane, FCC attorney, David Silberman, and the rest of the FCC bureaucracy whose unique response to mi­ cropower radio has contributed to the overall success of this movement. And thanks to the entire crew of Free Radio Berkeley who have made it possible to be where we are today, especially Radman, Captain Fred, Tom Schreiner, and technical support volunteers, Matt Dott, Doug Forbes and Govinda Dalton. We would both like to acknowledge Laura Hermann of the Loyola Radio Conference for providing the radio-active setting wherein your co-editors struck up the conversation which eventually became this book. Finally, we gratefully acknowledge the hydra-headed micropowered free radio movement without which this book would not be possible, and most particularly, the man who started it all, Mbanna Kantako. vi - SEIZING THE AIRWAVES: A FREE RADIO HANDBOOK Thefollowing magazine articlesappear in reworked,updated and expanded form in these pages: Ricardo Omar Elizalde.

PREFACE FREE SPEECH A Fable Stephen Dunifer In a far distant country lived a people called the Mericans. A proud, stoic lot were they. Unlike many surrounding lands they had overthrown the mantle of obedience to a feudal monarchy and established what was called a republic. Creating a document known as the Declaration of Independence they set forth certain principles such as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as their pri­ mary goals. Elaborating further on this, they created a Constitution which reluctantly established certain basic rights of every citizen, known as the Bill of Rights. Such things as freedom of speech, equal protection under the law, pro­ tection from unreasonable search and seizure and so forth. Allof these sought to redress and prohibit the type of mistreatment they had received under the prior monarchy they had done away with. Allof this sounded very well and good. As time turned the pages of history it became obvious that certain legal con­ cepts were not stated but very well established and enforced. As the country grew with every advancing wave of industrial development and technology even the less astute among its citizens realized that something was amiss in the Land of Liberty. Unfortunately the means of communication had, for the most part, resided in the hands of those who could ownthem. In fact, in earlier times print­ ing presses had been licensed by the king. Such restrictions prevented dissent­ ing views from reaching a mass number of the citizens of Merica. What information and contrary views that did leak out were attacked without mercy PREFACE: FREE SPEECH - I Illustration by Sean Vile by the captains of industry, affectionately known as the Robber Barons. Despite smashing of printing presses by the hirelings of what had become a ruling elite, citizens committed to the basic tenets of the Constitution persisted in their ef­ forts under the banner of Freedom of Speech. Technologycontinued its march forward in the land of Merica. Other forms of communication were developed. One of these was known as Radio. Unlike 2 - SEIZING THE AIRWAVES: A FREE RADIO HANDBOOK newspapers and books, it carried the spoken word to all who had a radio receiver. A person spoke or sang into an instrument known as a microphone which con­ verted the sound vibrations into electrical impulses which were converted into radio waves by a unit called a transmitter. A radio receiver picked up these radio waves and converted them back into sound vibrations that were made audible by a loudspeaker. Radioreceivers began proliferating by the tens of thousands. Communities and various organizations found they could set up their own trans­ mitters and broadcast their views to all who might listen. This was far easier than owning big printing presses. Being their somewhat slow reacting selves, the ruling elite finally caught on to what a money making proposition radio was. They could use it to sell more commodities and convince people that slavery was freedom. Only one problem stood in their way, many dissenting voices had already taken to the airwaves in the naive belief that freedom of speech was the right of every citi­ zen. Shaking the puppet strings of those they controlled in government, they pulled the usual trick of creating yet another regulatory body over which they would have full control. This regulatory body finally became known as the Fed­ eral Communications Commission. Restoring order to what they called "chaos" of the airwaves, the FCC proceeded to silence all of the small voices.

  • Ontario Report: Process Or Content?
    Ontario Report: Process or Content? Murray G. Ross * The Learning Society. Report of the Commission on Post-Secondary Education in Ontario. Toronto : the Ministry of Government Services, 1972. The final report of the Commission on Post-Secondary Education in Ontario is such a vast improvement on its Draft Report that one is tempted to greet this new document with unqualified enthusiasm. The Draft Report published in January 1972 was a near disaster. Ill-conceived and badly written, it shocked the academic world — less by the ideas it proposed than by the level and quality of intellectual activity it represented. The final report, which is entitled The Learning Society, has been tidied up considerably : it is well-organized, clearly focused, and the writing has improved remarkably. But a comparison with the Draft Report is not an adequate basis upon which to judge the result of the Commission's work. One must see this latter in terms of the time, money and resources available. This is a Commission that has been in existence for four years, it had ample funds (spending $304,000 on its meetings, $671,000 for research, $273,000 for public hearings), members of the Commission visited 11 foreign countries including Japan, Norway, Denmark and West Germany, and it was in receipt of 742 briefs from individuals, groups, and institutions in the Province. Given these resources in time, money and ideas one has a right to expect a thorough examination of the post-secondary system of education in Ontario ; a well-documented and reason pre- sentation of problems, issues and solutions ; and a series of recommendations that give direction not only to the post-secondary educational system as a whole but for the various parts of that system as well.

(The United States ranked 43rd of the 180 countries in the report.) The Index was constructed from several criteria, including the amount of violence against journalists, the nature of legislation governing media, and the degree of economic pressures on the media (Reporters Without Borders 2017). Reporters Without Borders Secretary-General Christophe Deloire has noted that the Index “does not take direct account of the kind of political system but it is clear that democracies provide better protection for the freedom to produce and circulate accurate news and information than countries where human rights are flouted.” But being in a democracy does not mean the media are totally unconstrained.

On November 14, 2020, agents from the New York Office confirmed by direction-finding techniques that radio signals on frequency 95.9 MHz were emanating from the property at 3512 99th Street, Queens, New York. Publicly available records identify BRG 3512 LLC and KRR Queens 1 LLC as joint owners of the property at 3512 99th Street, Queens, New York, and BRG Management LLC as the site’s property manager.1 The FCC’s records show no license issued for operation of a radio broadcast station on 95.9 MHz at that location. Radio broadcast stations operating on certain frequencies,2 including 95.9 MHz, must be licensed by the FCC pursuant to the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Act).3 While the FCC’s rules create exceptions for certain extremely low-powered devices, our agents have determined that those exceptions do not apply to the transmissions they observed originating from the property. Accordingly, the station operating on the property identified above

  • Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage
    Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Aaron Joseph Johnson All rights reserved ABSTRACT Jazz and Radio in the United States: Mediation, Genre, and Patronage Aaron Joseph Johnson This dissertation is a study of jazz on American radio. The dissertation's meta-subjects are mediation, classification, and patronage in the presentation of music via distribution channels capable of reaching widespread audiences. The dissertation also addresses questions of race in the representation of jazz on radio. A central claim of the dissertation is that a given direction in jazz radio programming reflects the ideological, aesthetic, and political imperatives of a given broadcasting entity. I further argue that this ideological deployment of jazz can appear as conservative or progressive programming philosophies, and that these tendencies reflect discursive struggles over the identity of jazz. The first chapter, "Jazz on Noncommercial Radio," describes in some detail the current (circa 2013) taxonomy of American jazz radio. The remaining chapters are case studies of different aspects of jazz radio in the United States. Chapter 2, "Jazz is on the Left End of the Dial," presents considerable detail to the way the music is positioned on specific noncommercial stations. Chapter 3, "Duke Ellington and Radio," uses Ellington's multifaceted radio career (1925-1953) as radio bandleader, radio celebrity, and celebrity DJ to examine the medium's shifting relationship with jazz and black American creative ambition.

McLELLAN Catholic University ofAmerica MIRANDA YATES Brown University Taking the position that there is a developmental process in the formation of citizenship, the authors reviewed studies that reported a link between youth's participation in organized activities and civic behaviors 15 or more years later in adulthood. Data uniformly showed that students who participated in high school government or community service projects, meant in the broad sense, are more likely to vote and to join community organizations than are adults who were nonparticipants during high school. Results support the authors' view that participation during the youth era can be seminal in the construction of civic identity that includes a sense of agency and social responsibility in sustaining the community's well-being.
