    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 085 811 CS 500 553 TITLE College Carrier Current: A Survey of 208 Campus-Limited Radio Stations. INSTITUTION Broadcast Inst. of North America, New York, N.Y. PUB DATE 72 NOTE 52p. EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC-$3.29 DESCRIPTORS *College Students; Educational Research; Mass Media; *Media Research; *Programing (Broadcast) ;Publicize; *Radio; *School Surveys IDENTIFIERS *Carrier Current Radio ABSTRACT The purpose of this survey was to determine the extent to which carrier current radio has become a medium which can link and unify relatively small, well-defined groups in an effective and inexpensive way. The survey focused upon the auspices, structure, affiliation, day-to-day managerial responsibility, and administrative liaison of the stations; their commercial or non-commercial status; and the nature and scope of their programing. A multiple-choice questionnaire wAs mailed to 439 stations; of the 233 that responded, 25 stations reported that they were not operative carrier stations, resulting in a net sample of 208 stations. The findings indicated that: most stations are run as undergraduate student activities, few stations are used for formal or informal training; most stations carry commercial advertising, but few rely upon time sales for their main support; most stations rely upon institutional or student generated funds for their main support; programing consists mainly of recorded music; most stations afford little or no opportunity for student self-expression or news and public affairs programing; and most stations appear relatively free from institutional or outside controls but in most cases there appears to be little or no inclination to use this freedom innovatively.

  • The Western Michigan University Magazine, Fall 2013
    FALL 2013 Inside this issue • 100 years of music • Meet Coach Fleck • 632,408 hours of service Dear Friends, The Western Michigan University community has embarked on another exciting academic year energized by new promise and built on a legacy of achievement. Look to our School of Music, which is marking 100 years of enhancing our world through the musical arts. This edition of the WMU Magazine pays tribute to that long history. But the School of Music’s life story is not simply about longevity. Rather, it exemplifies what this University does so well each and every day. Our music professors, themselves award-winning and productive artists, have guided thousands of students to explore and to perfect their unique gifts. Well-known musicians, including international opera singer Susan B. Anthony and Grammy-winning audio engineer Max Wilcox, honed their talents at WMU. Our students often perform on the world stage even before hitting such career heights. Recently, acclaimed vocal jazz ensemble Gold Company performed at a prestigious choral festival in France. By all accounts, they wowed a crowd of 5,000. Through opportunities like these, we help students make the most of their talents—whether for the classroom as music educators, for the stage as performers or as composers producing new music. This year, we celebrate this century of success. Also in the spirit of honoring our past, the University Archives and the Regional History Collections have a new home in the recently completed Zhang Legacy Collections Center on the Oakland Drive Campus. The $8.7 million Zhang Center contains 30,000 cubic feet of manuscripts, maps, newspapers, photographs, diaries, government documents and other materials chronicling the history of WMU and of Southwest Michigan.
