  • 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.

  • By a Capstone Project Submitted for Graduation with University Honors University Honors University of California, Riverside
    By A capstone project submitted for Graduation with University Honors University Honors University of California, Riverside APPROVED _______________________________________________ Dr. Department of _______________________________________________ Dr. Richard Cardullo, Howard H Hays Jr. Chair, University Honors Abstract Many individuals use social media platforms as a form of entertainment or as something that allows them to keep in touch with today’s society. We, as a generation, have become attached to cellular devices, the desire to keep in immediate contact with each other, oversharing personal information, and access to the internet. This past summer I had the opportunity to work alongside the Social/Digital Media Team as one of two Digital Media interns at iHeartMedia in Burbank. My internship was specifically aligned with iHeartRadio, a subdivision of iHeartMedia. Within the iHeartMedia Burbank office, there are 8 in house radio stations that fall under iHeartRadio and cater to a range of different markets and have a reach of around 12.5 million people every week. Their in-house stations, in no particular order, are 102.7 KIIS fm, 104.3 MYfm, KOST 103.5, ALT 98.7, REAL 92.3, KFI AM640, LA Sports AM 570, and The Patriot AM 1150. Looking more specifically at the subdivision, iHeartRadio is a free broadcast and internet radio platform that supports the streaming of their in-house radio stations, national radio stations, podcasts, and many other features like artist specific playlists. I was able to witness the importance of social media from the perspective of iHeartMedia as a mass media communications company, from the perspective of their subdivision marketing of iHeartRadio, and from the perspective of the individual radio stations within the building.
