The Boston Musical Intelligencer presents WHAT CAN W E DO FOR CLASSICAL MUSIC RADIO IN BOSTON? Panel discussion at Old South Church, Copley Square Tuesday, January 5 at 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. Recent articles in the Boston Musical Intelligencer and elsewhere evoked widespread dismay over the changes in WGBH and WCRB programming and the lack of signal strength from the recently-designated station for classical music, WCRB. Come hear what the experts think, ask your questions and have your say. Moderator: William M. Bulger, formerly President of the Massachusetts Senate, president of University of Massachusetts, and trustee of the Boston Public Library and Boston Symphony Orchestra Panelists: Richard Dyer, former classical music critic of the Boston Globe Christopher Lydon, broadcast journalist on WBUR and WGBH Dave MacNeill, announcer & fomer general manager of WCRB John Voci, general manager of WGBH radio Respondents: Boston Musical Intelligencer reviewers Mark DeVoto, John W. Ehrlich, Brian Jones, Peter Van Zandt Lane, and Tom Schnauber The Issues: • Friday afternoon broadcasts of the Boston Symphony Orchestra are cancelled. • In Boston’s Back Bay, Beacon Hill, and areas south of Boston, listeners are unable to receive a clear signal from “all-classical” WCRB. • Much of the music on WCRB is programed by a Minneapolis syndicate. • Area listeners have lost fifty hours a week of quality classical music. • Do we really need more talk radio and duplicative NPR programming? •Are WGBH contributors pleased with the changes? •Are WCRB listeners pleased? •Will the administration at WGBH reconsider?

Evidently, enough people were making podcasts, listening to them, or at least uttering the word podcast in everyday contexts to warrant the accolade. Despite occasioning a media sensation, the actual extent of podcasting is still unknown. According to a PEW Internet and American Life survey (Rainie and Madden, 2005) – still the most substantive publication about podcasting trends – approximately 6 million of the 22 million U.S.

Christopher Lydon's Topic
The Transom Review Vol. 1/Issue 13 Christopher Lydon’s Topic About Christopher Lydon Christopher Lydon has been an unconventional voice in print and broadcast journalism for more than 30 years-covering presidential politics in the Washington bureau of the New York Times; anchoring the “Ten O'Clock News” on WGBH, public television in Boston; and as the founder and host of "The Connection" at WBUR since 1994. He "blends the expansiveness of the Renaissance thinker with a trademark Boston toughness," the Boston Globe observes. Born in Boston in 1940, he graduated from the Roxbury Latin School and Yale. Lydon ran for mayor of Boston in 1993 in a citizens' campaign for radical school reform. Christopher Lydon Links Christopher Lydon's Website www.christopherlydon.org "The Connection" Archives www.theconnection.org A Word From Jay Allison September 21, 2001 It may seem an odd time to focus on craft, but craft is often what gets you through. The ability to do the job well is always important, and especially in a crisis. Further, our chosen work -- radio -- is essential in any modern crisis. Much depends on our skill, more than we sometimes know. Certainly radio is important as a lifeline, a communication link, but also... for conversation, for connection. If you live within earshot of Boston -- or anywhere else “The Connection” aired under Christopher Lydon's hostship -- you know he is one of the finest practitioners of the radio talk show craft, ever. Copyright 2001 Atlantic Public Media The Transom Review – Vol.1/ Issue 13 There were days listening to that program where the primary response was a feeling of gratitude.

Using the Internet to Enhance Community Among Radio Listeners
High-Interactivity Radio: Using the Internet to Enhance Community Among Radio Listeners by Joellen Easton Submitted to the Department of Comparative Media Studies on July 22, 2005 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Comparative Media Studies Abstract This thesis examines the evidence of community among listeners to three radio programs, who gather online to discuss radio programming in blogs, message boards and discussion forums provided by those programs. The three programs of focus are Air America Radio’s The Majority Report, ABC Radio Networks’ Sean Hannity Show, and National Public Radio’s Talk of the Nation. The shows are analyzed in terms of how they perform by a new standard of interactive radio, whose benchmark has been established by The Majority Report. First identified in this thesis, the concept of high-interactivity radio brings together both vertical (between audience and broadcaster) and horizontal (intra- audience) interactivities. The relative success of high-interactivity radio is judged by a comparative analysis of the evidence of community in radio-online discussion areas, and the use of these online spaces by show producers as a vehicle for listener feedback, interaction, and content generation. The observations made in these three radio-online discussion areas can be practically applied to the work of broadcasters. Toward this end, the thesis closes with a brief ethnographic description of Open Source, a new public radio program currently attempting to develop its own
