enny Toomey’s background is underground rock music, where she Industry played in different bands and ran her own label. In recent years she Jfounded the FMC, which has a stated main goal of educating musicians and the audience at large to what’s going on with critical policy Q&A: issues relating to technology/music space – i.e. how to protect their rights in the quickly evolving digital age. Those who’ve seen her speak at IAJE have quickly recognized that she’s one of the sharpest minds in this area. Jenny This is our latest installment in our ongoing technology series. Toomey, – Tad Hendrickson JazzWeek: You went to a musician/label person to more of an advocate or lobbyist looking out for musicians and the little guy in the industry. How Founder did you make that transition? Actually I am not a lobbyist at all. I run a non-profit organization that does original research, advocacy and education about issues that emerge from the of Future intersection of music, technology, policy and law. I got interested in this because as a musician and label owner I saw how important it was for musicians to understand the technology that is radically changing many of the ways that Of Music musicians make and sell their art and how they connect with audiences. How did you hook up with Future of Music Coalition? Coalition I founded it in 2000 with three other people who were concerned with the above.

Go to www.futureofmusic.org/research/radiostudy06.cfm to take a Act which allowed look. the wholesale A simple answer is that noncommercial radio has also been consolidating by measures of ownership and programming in the past 10 years. That said, the consolidation of the noncommercial part of the dial is still the healthiest part of the dial (according to listener-ship and increased financial support) and it is the portion of the commercial radio radio bandwidth that gives us the majority of the localism and diversity of pro- band. gramming that one would experience when listening to the radio. Of the hundreds of radio stations playing classical music, for example, only three are programmed by commercial radio stations. The remainder of the classical programming comes from the non-com part of the dial. This pattern is repeated for jazz, bluegrass, Americana, new music, blues, etc. What effect has the promotion of NPR news and talk programs had on music format? We don’t really cover this in our study, but it’s common knowledge that post 9-11 there has been a trend at noncommercial radio to move away from music programming towards talk and news. The NEA did a substantial study looking at this phenomenon. Here is a Washington Post article that talks about the NEA study: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/10/ AR2006111000286.html What have been the negative effects, as Future of Music Coalition sees it, on the dependency on research groups like Walrus Research or Audi- ➤ jazzweek.com • February 26, 2007 JazzWeek 9 ence Research Analysis? You were critical of this on your panel and said it was agenda driven. Why do you feel this way? I really don’t remember saying that. I think what I said was something about how the real limit on the diversity of the radio play lists at commercial radio is the small size of songs put into the testing pools which determine which songs can ultimately be added to the play list. What do you consider as past victories for FMC? Both of our radio studies have been very successful at articulating the connection between bland, nationally programmed radio and the 1996 Telecommunication Act which allowed the wholesale consolidation of the commercial radio band. Our data ex- plained Clear Channel’s role and stood up to flawed FCC studies that wrongly equated format diversity (the number of differently named formats) with true programming diversity (the diversity of songs played). This data, along with increased activism from the media reform movement, has meant that we have largely held the line against further radio consolidation. Radio has also become the “canary in the coal mine” for other forms of media consolidation. FMC has done other work around payola, record contracts, health insurance for musicians and dozens of other issues you can read about this at the FMC web site www.futureofmusic.org What are some of FMC’s biggest concerns looking ahead in 2007? Our biggest concern above all is Net Neutrality. (www.savetheinternet.com) Without getting too deep in the weeds I can try to explain that the large internet providers are looking for a way to privilege certain communications across their lines over other communications. The historical practice of the internet providers has ensured that all communication across the network are treated in a NEUTRAL manor. Because of that neutrality ... you can get to my website as quickly as you can get to Clear Channel’s, or even Verizon’s. If the principle of Net Neutrality were to be abolished then we would see an internet that could look a lot like payola-controlled commercial radio. Those websites that have relationships with the internet provider due to partnerships or paid fees will get better service than the rest of us. This is really antithetical to innovation, merit, speech, democracy etc. Musicians have been promised a lot by the internet providers. We have been told about a frictionless, open marketplace where we can make our music available and connect with fans and customers without the bottlenecks that plague the other forms of media. In a non-neutral net environment musicians who are not affiliated with major corporations, and artists who perform less commercial genres will be left out in the cold.
