  • Music on PBS: a History of Music Programming at a Community Radio Station
    Music on PBS: A History of Music Programming at a Community Radio Station Rochelle Lade (BArts Monash, MArts RMIT) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2021 Abstract This historical case study explores the programs broadcast by Melbourne community radio station PBS from 1979 to 2019 and the way programming decisions were made. PBS has always been an unplaylisted, specialist music station. Decisions about what music is played are made by individual program announcers according to their own tastes, not through algorithms or by applying audience research, music sales rankings or other formal quantitative methods. These decisions are also shaped by the station’s status as a licenced community radio broadcaster. This licence category requires community access and participation in the station’s operations. Data was gathered from archives, in‐depth interviews and a quantitative analysis of programs broadcast over the four decades since PBS was founded in 1976. Based on a Bourdieusian approach to the field, a range of cultural intermediaries are identified. These are people who made and influenced programming decisions, including announcers, program managers, station managers, Board members and the programming committee. Being progressive requires change. This research has found an inherent tension between the station’s values of cooperative decision‐making and the broadcasting of progressive music. Knowledge in the fields of community radio and music is advanced by exploring how cultural intermediaries at PBS made decisions to realise eth station’s goals of community access and participation. ii Acknowledgements To my supervisors, Jock Given and Ellie Rennie, and in the early phase of this research Aneta Podkalicka, I am extremely grateful to have been given your knowledge, wisdom and support.

These resources are designed to help teachers, families and community members who provide home study, remote, hybrid or in- person instruction. This partnership includes continued educational broadcasts on the Vermont PBS main channel and professional learning materials designed to help educators incorporate PBS content into their teaching. “I continue to be grateful to Vermont PBS for their partnership,” said Secretary of Education Dan French. “PBS joined us early on, providing wonderful educational content and resources to support Vermont students’ learning. They are continuing to work with us to support schools, familes, and most importantly students, with hybrid and remote learning.” “When Vermont PBS was founded, over 50 years ago, surely no one imagined educational commercial-free broadcast as an essential service in response to a pandemic,” said Vermont PBS CEO Steve Ferreira. “But educational and cultural opportunity has been at the heart of our mission, right from the beginning and we are committed to this collaboration with the Agency of Education in our continuing efforts to help Vermont families and teachers stay positive, educated and connected.” This fall, PBS Educational broadcasts will be on the following days, times and channels: • For PreKindergarten to Grade 5: Monday to Friday - 24/7 Kids Channel & Main Channel 7 a.m.
