  • Providence Community Radio: a Very Long Engagement
    Providence Community Radio: A Very Long Engagement Broadcast radio underwent changes in the 1990s that had consequences impossible to foresee. As the first stirrings of what would become internet radio appeared – RealAudio in 1995, SHOUTcast in 1998, Napster in 1999, iTunes in 2001 – Congress enacted the Telecommunications Act of 1996, removing most anti-monopoly limits on corporate ownership, ushering in a frenzy of mergers and acquisitions that resulted in massive consolidation of telephone companies, cable television carriers and over-the-air broadcasters. Statutory and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) deregulation expected to encourage competition either totally backfired or was outright subterfuge, depending upon perspective. “The early years of the twenty-first century found the country’s media world controlled not by the fifty corporations of twenty years earlier, but by all those past media, plus new ones, compacted into five giant conglomerates,” wrote former Providence Journal reporter Ben Bagdikian, in The New Media Monopoly, the 2004 revision of his 1983 classic. “The 1996 Act was created, according to the WaIl Street Journal, when the ‘Gingrich class’ of 1994 Republicans privately asked the industry what it wanted and almost literally gave them the law they asked for.” Leftist historian and political scientist Howard Zinn wrote, in the final revision before his death of the best-selling A People’s History of the United States, that voices outside the mainstream “were facing an enormous barrier of silence in the national
