  • Origins of the Genre in Search of the Radio Sitcom
    1 Origins of the Genre In Search of the Radio Sitcom DAVID MARC The introduction of a mass communication medium normally occurs when an economically viable commercial application is found for a new technol- ogy. A third element necessary to the launch, content (i.e., something to communicate), is often treated as something of an afterthought in this process. As a result, adaptations of popular works and of entire genres from previous media tend to dominate the introductory period, even as they mutate under the developing conditions of the new medium. Such was the case in the rise of the television sitcom from the ashes of network radio. While a dozen or more long-running network radio series served as sources for early television situation comedies, it is in some ways misleading to describe these radio programs (e.g., Father Knows Best, Amos ’n’ Andy, or The Life of Riley) as “radio sitcoms.” According to the Oxford English Dic- tionary, neither the term “situation comedy” nor “sitcom” achieved common usage until the 1950s, the point at which this type of entertainment had become completely absent from American radio. TV Guide appears to be among the first general circulation publica- tions to use the term “situation comedy” in print with the following passage cited by the Oxford English Dictionary from a 1953 article: “Ever since I Love Lucy zoomed to the top rung on the rating ladder, it seems the networks have been filling every available half-hour with another situation comedy” (TV Guide). The abbreviated form, “sitcom,” which probably enjoys greater usage today, has an even shorter history.

Augusta Savage, born Augusta Christine Fells, February 29, 1892, was an artist, educator, civil rights activist and community leader. Augusta was intensely involved in the Harlem arts community, and a longtime member of the "306 Group"— so named for the art studio at 306 West 141st Street, where Savage exchanged techniques and ideas with black artists such as Charles Alston, Romare Bearden, Jacob Lawrence, and Morgan and Marvin Smith. “The Harp” faced Rainbow Avenue from the Throughout the early 1930s, Augusta sculpted portrait busts of many African-American garden adjacent to the Contemporary Arts leaders, including NAACP leader, James Weldon Johnson, who wrote the lyrics of the Building at the New York World’s Fair 1939. anthem "Lift Every Voice and Sing." For the World’s Fair piece she chose to commemorate the musical contributions of African-Americans, and "Lift Every Voice and Sing" was her inspiration and the subsequent name of her finished artwork. However, before its reveal, World's Fair officials changed the name of the sculpture to “The Harp.” The sculpture, in the shape of the so named musical instrument, depicted a group of twelve African-American choir singers in graduated heights.

Framing Errors: Reality and Fiction in Audio Drama Leslie McMurtry Introduction Many genres and media create a blurring line between reality and fiction. Radio serials and in particular radio soap operas have inspired devotion in their listeners to the point where their fans throw themselves wholeheartedly into a universe of outward unreality and inward reality. This leads to framing errors, by which I mean an extension of blurring of reality. We will look at several examples from world radio soaps, including those from the US, Britain, Turkey, France, and Poland. However, radio soap operas do not have a monopoly on the blurring line between reality and fiction. Instead, audio drama is poised to profit well from this uncertainty and has shown itself capable of it many times, beginning in the 1920s in Europe and most famously in War of the Worlds (1938). War of the Worlds is, however, not the end of the story, and the way audio drama uses framing errors continues to this day.

  • And Yohuru Williams
    CONTEMPORARY BLA C K HISTORY Manning Marable, Founding Series Editor Peniel Joseph (Tufts University) and Yohuru Williams (Fairfield University), Series Editors This series features cutting-edge scholarship in Contemporary Black History, underlin- ing the importance of the study of history as a form of public advocacy and political activism. It focuses on postwar African-American history, from 1945 to the early 1990s, but it also includes international black history, bringing in high-quality interdisciplin- ary scholarship from around the globe. It is the series editors’ firm belief that outstand- ing critical research can also be accessible and well written. To this end, books in the series incorporate different methodologies that lend themselves to narrative richness, such as oral history and ethnography, and combine disciplines such as African American Studies, Political Science, Sociology, Ethnic and Women’s Studies, Cultural Studies, Anthropology, and Criminal Justice.

    ABSTRACT OPRAH WINFREY AND SHONDA RHIMES: CHANGING THE FACES AND STORIES ON CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN TELEVISION Caprice Butts, M.A. Department of Communication Northern Illinois University, 2018 Laura Vazquez, Director This thesis explores the history of Black women in television beginning with the start of Black women being on air and to the present. It investigates the politics and education of Black women to tie into both the history of Oprah Winfrey and Shonda Rhimes to make connections on how these factors had an impact on their professional careers and storytelling and conclude that, while the background of television with Black women and individual lives of these two women have made differences in the world of Hollywood, there is still much that needs to be done. It also discusses the importance of storytelling and representation in the media, not just on the screen, but behind the scenes. Even though there have been stories told about minorities, it is different from having them told by people who have lived the inequalities perpetuated in American society. Unless one has lived the actual experiences they are portraying, it is hard, or perhaps impossible, to tell the story in a meaningful way. Having other Black women tell stories about shared experiences is a way to relate, to know that someone else out there understands, and ensure that they are getting the representation they deserve.

  • Black Kansas Radio Operators Comes from an Article in the Prominent African-American Newspaper the Baltimore Afro-American
    Pioneers of the Air: African-American Kansans on Early Radio Originally published in The Old Radio Times, January-February 2011. The history of radio's development, both as an amateur hobby and then as a major commercial industry, largely excluded African-Americans, though their roles as performers, writers, and producers is gaining more attention. Similarly, the state of Kansas did not play a significant part in the development of radio. The biggest names of the early radio years, men such as Guglielmo Marconi, Lee de Forest, Edwin Armstrong, and David Sarnoff, did not come from Kansas nor was their work in radio ever located in Kansas. New York and Chicago would prove to be the centers of the radio industry during the 1920s and 1930s, with Los Angeles' supplanting Chicago's during the 1930s as coast-to-coast network connections were improved. The state does have a small place in the early annals of the medium with the founding of two stations by the U. S. Army Signal Corps at Forts Leavenworth (station FL) and Riley (station FZ) in 1908. Soon after, Wichita amateurs were experimenting with the new technology by 1910. Black Kansans can also claim a spot in early radio broadcasting history. A number of pioneering African-Americans who operated early radio technology and performed on network radio during commercial radio's Golden Age (approximately 1930 to 1960) called the Sunflower State home.1 The earliest reference to black Kansas radio operators comes from an article in the prominent African-American newspaper The Baltimore Afro-American. In 1913 Sumner High School, Kansas City, KS, was described as the only secondary school in the country which had a program to train black students in radio (then referred to as “wireless”) technology.

    The Clerk’s Black History Series Debra DeBerry Clerk of Superior Court DeKalb County Amanda “Mandy” Randolph (September 2, 1896 – August 24, 1967) “First African-American Performer Reoccurring Role on Network T.V. ” “First African-American Woman Musician to Record Jazz Piano Rolls” Amanda Randolph was born September 2, 1896, in Louisville, Kentucky. Her father was a Methodist minister and her mother, a teacher. Her professional career began as a teenager playing piano and organ in theatres around Cleveland, Ohio. When the family moved to Cincinnati in 1919, Amanda began working as a musician in Ohio's Lyric Theatre. She is the first African-American woman to record Piano Rolls of hot Jazz. A piano roll is a continuous roll of paper with perforations, used to create musical notes on a player piano. She is listed as the performer of "The Yellow Dog Blues", piano roll by W. C. Handy in 1919 as Mandy Randolph. She wrote several songs and cut several records in the early 1920s. Throughout the twenties and early 1930’s, Amanda worked in black vaudeville and in several all black musicals. She also appeared in films and on the ra- dio while cutting new records and performing live. She was known as a mistress of every entertain- ment medium. She could do it all. Her first film, “Black Network” was a short film where she shared her comedic talents. Most of her earliest movies were considered “race films” - produced and directed by independent African-American entrepreneur film maker, Oscar Micheaux. She married Harry Hansberry in 1940 and had two children.
