INTRODUCTION TO RADIO: VOICE$FROMPAST AND PRESENT

The undeniable affect of radio on the nation!s econo ....

my, social structure, att itudes and behavior, not to mention

mar keting , bl.1siness and industry, and the entertainment field

has been great. But the modern broadcaster has a rather u t un iq e problem�a problem of commanica ion . All of the

national effect s of radio have caused the broadcaster to

constamtly review and up..-date his knowledge in legal and

social areas of developaent, as well as technical advance ... a ment.... Since eh nge occurs so rapidly and so often in all

three, the communication problem becomes even mor e acu.te.

Broadcast texts of five years ago , for inst ance , only

predicted tbe exteasi". u.se of vide. tapiftg (VTR) in

television , and hinted of Ilsing tape cartridges in radio;

legal developments set forth by the FCC are equally

dramatic, as well as recent sociological changes sparked

by people like Marshall McLuhan,.,

i It seems that the indllstry (noncollmercial in c luded )

all too ofte·n ignores this third area of sociologyI!' The

questions of UWhy?" become overlooked for the "How?" 2

questions.. Whereas "Why?il is often only considered by

the commercial broadcaster aro und the tim. of license

renewal, it!s a q"•• tion taat the edtlcational broadcaster

SROQld, not ignore by virtu. of the adjective that classifies

his funetio"--"'t!ducational."

the noncommercial station really lunctions the sam.

as afty co_ereial station, with the excep-tiom of th.is

"Why?" questio_; it is a fraternal twin , tIIorm of CGml1lOft

circumstances, with the sa •• diversity Of "parents."

The remainder of this chapter will examine and trace

the radio heritage.*

In the 1860's James Clerk Maxwell, a Scotsman. pre"!!"

,dieted the existence of radio waves. Two decades later

Heinrich Hert2 in Germany delllOnstrated that rapid varia"'!!

tions of electric can be projected into space in

the form of waves not unlike those of heat and light ..

In l89S Marceni tr ansmitted radio signals for a short

distance and , at the turn of th e centlilry, conducted sue ...

cessfal transatlantic tests. In 1907 Lee DeFer est patented

what is now known as the vac,,,,'. tube. The first practical

application of radio was for ship..,to-ship and ship""toMshore

telegraphic com.unications; this was first termed as use

of the "wireless.ft ADlerican use of the tera "'r adio" is

*General tIlaterial obtained from "'Broadcast Primer: Evolution of ," Information Bulletin No. 2 ..B., published by the FCC in, 1946..;. addi.t..iona 1 FCC documents; and Robert Hillard, Radio �ioadcasting(: Hastings, 1967). 3

traced to about 1912 when the Navy, believing that "wire-

less" '*'_ too inc lusive, adopted t he word "radiotelegra.ph."

Tho149P the British still use the older term, "radio" continues

to be the American designation. The word tlbroadcastU

stems from early United. States naval reference to the

t'broadcast" of orders to the fleet.

The first voice broad.cast is subject to debatej

claims to that distinction range from uHello Rainey,"

. ••il! to have been sent by Stubblefield to a partner

in a demonstration near Murray, Kentuck� in 1892, to an

impromptu program from Brant RoCk, Massaeha�tt � by :. /1 ttessenden$.n 1906, which w� s picl

Thw!i�.ire other early experimental aud io tranS1Gissions, h suc as DeForest putting the singer Caruso on the air

in 1910 and transatlantic tests by the Navy st ation at

. , Arlin9�ol'l' in 1915, but it was not until after ) . ir Wor 1d War I that r.gular br'oadcast ing began. The f st broadcasting station is likewise a mat •.ar of conflic ting

claims. This is due largely to the f·aot that some

pione�r AM b roadc a s t stations developed from experimental A operations. l though KDKA did not receive a

regdl ar br oadcast ing license until NQvember 7, 1921, it

illrnished programs experimentalJ;y p1:'ior to tl'1at "'te. 4

Records of the Departllent of Commerce., which then super .... vised radio , indicate that the first station issued a regular broadcasting license was WBZ Springfield, Massa­ chuetts, on September IS, 1921.

There was experimental network operation over tele­ phone lines as euly as 1922,. In ' that year WJZ now New York, andWNAC , picked up a footba ll galle froll .

Later,' that sa•• year WEAF and, WGY con.ected with

KDKA Pittsburgh, allld KYW Chicago, to carry talk s mad. at a dinner in New York. Presiden t Coo l idge's message to Congress was broadcast by six stations in 1923.

In ltZ6 the National Broadcasting Collpany started the first regular network with 24 stations . Its first coas:t:��o�T9��t !'lookup, in 1927, br.ac:Jc::�st a football game;." ,Ill th� l�tter year, the Colu1llb!a aroadeasting 5ys ... tell w�� organized. The first rotlnd""the... world broadcast was made froll Schenect ady in 1930.

The history of broadeasting is filled, of course, with various ,laws and regu1atiens; there was a Wireless

Ship Act of 1910 which applied to use of radio by ship s, but the Radio Act of 1912 was the first domestic law for the control of radio in general. It made the then secre­ tary of commerce and labor responsible tor licensing rad.io 5 stations and. p o erators . Early broadcasting was experimental and" therefore, noncommercial. In 1919 broadcasters were enabled to operate as limited comaereial stations. 1ft 1922 the "wavelength" of 360 meters (abou.t 830 kilohertz ) was assigned fqr the transmission of ftimportant news items, entertainment, lectures, serllOns. and si1li1ar matter .ft i'F(!f:.)

Reco_end,ations of the first National Radio Con...

r f by ference in 1922 esulted in urther regulations the secretarry of co •• erce. A new type of AM broadcast sta. tion came into being, with minimum po wer of 500 watts and a Ilaximum of 1,000 watts. Two frequencies (7� and 833 kilohertz) were assigned for program transmission.

But so rapid was the development of aural broadcasting, that upon recommendation of subsequent Nationa l Radio

Conferences {1923 and 1924,-, the Department of COnmuerce al located SSO to 1500 kilohert� for standard bro.d,cast and. au.thorized. operating � ... up to 5,000 watts.

Btilt, once again, th. increase in the nu.mber of stations caused so much interference that, in 1925, a, fOl.1rth National Radio Conference asked for a limitation on broadcast tille and. power. The secretary of COMmerce was unable to deal with the situation because of a court decision holding that the Rad.io Act of 1912 did not give him this authority. As a resQlt, many broadcasters

jumped their frequencies and incr&-ased their power and 6

operating time at will, regardless of the effect upon

other stations. There was bedlam on the air. In 1926

President Coolidge urged Congress to remedy matter s;

the result was the Dil18Wtdte Radio Act of 1927.

The Radio Act of 1927 created a five-member Federal

Radio Commission with certain regulatory powers over radio,

including the issuance of station licenses , the allocation

of frequency bands to var ious services, assignment of

specified frequencies to individual stations and control

of station power. The sam. act also delegated to the

seeretary of coa.erce authority to inspect radio stations,

to examine and l icense radio operators and to assiCJn

radio (:·.11 let ter s . Ml.lch of the early efforts of the

Federal Radio eo_ission were r equired to straighten out

tl\.\. f'tonfusion in the bl'oadeast baRd.. It was illpGssible to ede for the 732 broadcast statioRs as then operating.

N ..'rules and regulations caused aboat 1.50 of the. to

surrender their licenses.

At the request of presi".t Reosevelt, . the seere ....

tary of COlllllerce in 1933 appointed an interdepartllefttal

cOllm ittee to study the overall interstate and, i'l'ternational

electrical communications situation. The committee re­

ported t.hat Uthe c01lUl1unications service, as far as eo n ...

. gr essional action is invo lved';; should be regulated by a 7

single bodyo" Accor di ngly , it recommended the establish- ment of a new agency which would. r egul ate all interstate and foreign communication by wire and radio, including tele�raph, telephone and broadeasting. The resultant

Communieations Aet of 193.4 breated the pr esent Feder al Com­ munieations Commission for this regulation .

The Federal eommunications Commission, an independent federal agency composed of seven commi ssioner s appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, began oper a t ion on July 11, 1934. One of the FCC's major activities is the general regulation of broadcasting, visual as well as aural; this takes the form of two phases .•

The first phase deals with the allocation of Si'� trum space to the different t.ypes of broadeaat services in accordance with cOlUlission polieies and rules to carr y dut the intent of international agreements, tbe Communications

Act and other domestic laws affecting broadcasting.

The second phase aore directly concerns individual stations. It ambraces consideration of applica tio ns to build and operate ; the assignment of specific fr e ... quencies, power , operating tiae and call letter s ; the periodic in spection of eql'1ipaent an4tJl:e engineering aspects of oper ation ; passing upon r a e s as ... t . ns f r and. 8

signments of facilities; also changes in existing author izations; modifying constructiGn permits and re�ewiftg l icenses ; reviewing the general service of each particular station to determine whether it has been operating in the p ublic interest; licensing operator s of , and otherwise discharging domestic rfJgulatory re.ponsibili ties.

Broad.cast stations ar e licensed to serve the pablic interest, convenience and necessity. Because radio channels are limited and are a par t af the public domain, it is iJllportant that they be entrusted to licensees who have a h igh sense of p ublic respGnsibility.. The normal period is three years.

The Co�u.nications Act sets up certain basic re", qtsirements wh ich must be met by broa4cast applicants.

In general, app licants must be legally, technically and financially qualified, and show that their pr oposed oper ation will be in the public iRter •• t. The broadcast license privilege is lim ited by law to citizens of the

,

United States . Penalties for broadcast station viol21- tions, depending upon the degree of serio�sness, range from reprimands, fines lip to $10,000, and. short ...term

(probationar y) lieenses, to denials of license renewals or revocation of licenses. Cease and desist orders can 9

also be issued.

In 1965 the commission provided for p ublic inspec..;,

tion of certain records of broadcast stations in the com­

munities they serve, mainly duplicate copies of their

records in the public: files at the eommission's Washing ....

ton offices.

Under the Communications Act, it is the responsi­

bility of each broad.cast station licensee to arrange his program structure so that his operation will be in the, public in terest. The cOJlmlission does not prescr ibe any percentages of time which should be used for parti ....

cular subjects, such as news, eotlcation, religion,

music, public affairs, etc. That is something which can

vary with the locality and, accordingly, is at the dis .... cretion o:f the individtlal station licensee. However, the commission does periodically review the overall perfor'lIance

' lt of a station. �ngineeringly and otherwise-usually when it applies for renewal of its license, to determine whether it has lived up to its obligations and promises

it made in obtaining permission to use the public air ... waves.

In 1960 the commission issued a report and statement

of policy in connection with its programming inquiry.

As to the obligations ex a station licensee, it said : 10

"In the fulfillment of his obligation the broad.... caster should. consid.er the tastes, needs and desires of the public he is licensed to serve in developing his programming and should exercise conscientious ef� forts not only to ascertai� them, but also to carry then out as well as he reasonably can. He should. X reasonably attempt to meet all such needs and interests on an eElu itable basis. Particular areas o.f inter est limd. types appropriate in service may, of cour se , differ frO.Dl community to commtUlit y, and from time to time. However, the commission does expect its broadcast licensees to take the necessary steps to inform l themselves of the rea needs and interest of the areas they serve .and to provide prograiftming which in fact const itutes a diligent effort, in good faith, provid.e fer those need.s and te. int.rests. ... "The "ajor elements usu�liYIl��essar y to meet the public �nterest, needs and des-ires of the communi­ ty in whicll the station is located as d eveloped by in c ize s the dustry, and r e ogn d by the commis �on, have included: (1) opportunity for local se1f ....expression, (2) the development and use of local talent, .

Hi.s honest and prudent judgements will be accorded great weight by the COm­ mission . · Indeed, any other'c6urSe would tend to sub­ sti tl1tCiftI1e judgement of the Commission -Lor that of the lfeens��." (FCc,1 IIF?; 1/ ti Ic?ep()i�'( !i:J6r.?) The COmmunications Act declares that broadcasting is not acOmmon oarrier operation ; consequently a broadcast 11

station is not required to sell or give time to all who seek to go on the air. Because programming is primarily the responsibility of broadc ast station licensees, the commission does not ordinarily monitor or pass upon individual programs, or require the filing of scripts.

However, broadcast stations are r�qu.ired to keep a pro­ gram log and a technieal 109. and. a reco:cd of all requ.ests for pelitical broadcast time. The commis$ion does not ma int ain surveillance of the day ....by ...day internal manage ... ment of broadcast stations, or regulate their time cha:cges, p:cofits, ar tists' salar ies or ellp�ee relations. It licenses only the stations and their operators, not announcers, disk jockeys or other persontlel. I. MEDIA FUNCTION

Harold Lasswell, a political scientist who has done much research in mass communications, has noted three functions of communicative (broadcast) me dia:

(1) surveil lance of the envi ronment, (2) co rrelatio n of the parts of society in responding to the environment, and (3) transmission of the social heritage from one generation

l to the next. Using these three catagor ies and adding a fourth (entertainment), Charles R. Wright has formed a soc;i.ologist's view of the modern mass communicator.

Surveillance refers to the colle.ction and distribution of information concerning events in tJ'1e environment, both outside and within a.ny par .. ticular society. To some extent it corresponds to what is popl1larly conceived as the handling of !!!!!.. Acts of correlation , here, include interpretation of information about the environment and presc ription for conduct in reaction to these events. In part, this activity is popularly identified as editorial or propa9anda. Tr ansnti!ts ion of cult ure focuses on the communicatiq of information, values, and social norms from one· gqfteration to anothe r or from mem­ be rs of a . .group. to. newcomers. Commonly it is identi ...

fied as educational activity. Finally, entertainment refers to communicative acts primarily intended for amusement irr e�ective of any instrumental effects they ma, bave.2

These points, in effect, outline a four poin t (':i�rea of responsibility for the broadcaster....."whether he be in- vo1ved in commercial or noncomaercia1 activit1.s. As dis- ., ... cussed in the section referring to the attitude of the

FCC toward th! public interests of broadcasting, sta- tion management must reflect an awareness of these>four areas in order .to maintain a favorable position with the audience and the Commission. There is justific"tion for c.ne�rn here, considering the conservative estimate th.t the avera9� 'a

The warning function of a noncommercial station

does not vary from that of a commercial operation. The state of Illinois, for example, has created its own

voluntary State Emergency Action Notification System in

cooperation with the Ill inois Association of Broadcaster s . Most stations located. in Illinois not only participate in this system, but also par ticipate (as required by law) in

the National Emergency Action Notification System. often

ca lled the Emergency Sroadcast System . ESS replaces the

antiquated OONELRAD system and like-wise must be activated by direct order of the President of the .

As far as the instrumental function or broadcaster s, it is one or convenience (and commercial desirabi lity ) rathe r

than nece sity Further of this is pr ovided s . discussi':lon.... in more detail in the section concerning FCC regulations .

The function of surveillance can be enhanced by , i the service of utility performed and the pre tige enjoyed c;; 'i: s by those individuals who keep themselves inrormed.. Al-

though news, for instance, is available to all on a mass

level , not everyone bother s to keep abreast of all news

developments ; those wh o do confrom to the societal norm

that being inrormed is important are tArforded an enh ancing 1 5

5 measur e of pr estige within their living group .

l1Two sociologists , Paul Lazarsfield and Robert Merton, suggest two other functions of mass communi­ cations , which seem to be especially applicable to 6 mass communicated news. These are status conferral and the enforcement of social norms (ethicizing). Status conferral means that news reports about a member of any society enhances his prestige. By focu.sing the power of. the mass med.ia upon him society confers upon him a high pllblic status. Hence the premium placed upon publicity and public relations in modern society. Mass communications hav� an ethicizing fu.nction when it strengthens .social control over the individual members of the mass society by bringing deviant behavior into

public view .

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Surveillance through mass communication can prove dysfunctional as well as functional for so­

ciety and its members . Fir st , uncensored news about the world potentially threa tens the str'uctur e of any society. For example, informa tion about conditions and ideol09ies in other societies might lead to invidious comparisons with conditions at

home , and hence to pressure toward change .. Second , uniFterpreted warnings about danger in the environ­

ment sometimes lead to panic by t he mass audience . Thu.s , in the frequently cited Orson Welles br oadcast of an "Invasion from Mars,H the belief that the radio stor y was actually a news report contributed to the panic reaction of many listeners.7

While the first point concerning the threat to soci-

eta1 structure may not be a direct concer,,:of the typical

American. broadcaster, th4!!'�6nd point in regard to panic

certainly is. A rec�nt exa.ple of this occurred in the

summer of 1968 at WMRO-AM-FM A urora , Illinois. On one particular day, atmospheric conditions had been sl.lch�s

to cause the Environmental Sciences S�rvice Agency (E�SA)8

t�iss.u.e a tornado watch for the area. Ina short I:·' " Aurora �!.e, the watch had been updated to a tornado warning; while fh�r�, had been other tornado watches previously t�'t sum­

Wright outlines furtb�:z:; the responsibilities of the modernib:t0adcast jou.rnalist:

"The chief function of interpretation and pres.crip­ tion is to prevent such l1nd'9'siJ;'able cOl'lsequ.ences of t�e mass cODlnu.anication of news as wer,e noted in the preCe8irlg section. The sele¢tiof}, evak.ation, and interpretation of news-f.o�using on what is most iID- . portah.t in the envirOftment-tend. to prevellt (')ver.. stimulation and over-mobilization of the population.

Wright's point here is quite valid for the non .. commercial station a! well. KPFK (FM) is

$ueh a station, owned � operated by the Pacifica

Foundation, a non-profit institute which also owns and operates KPFA (FM) Berkeley and WBA I (FM) .

All three lire listener supported by contributions; in the

�ase of KPFK (FM) Los Angeles, the ttdonation" is $24 a 2 year . 1 '

To illustrate Wright's idea of prever4tive sanctions, consider the example of KPFK an estimated fifty '18(;.'.,"9'-" per cent of its '''incomet1 in 1968 when it became involved in BlaC?k Panther terrorism activitmes ill the Lo� Angeles area" Vet, in 1961 it., sponsorship showed an increase when it becs.e involved in a program to help feed the 13 "hippies·t in Hftaight_Ashbury. As stated previously, i�1;"erpretation and prescription can become a significant factor for ev.n the noncommercial, ed,ucational broadcaster, just as the entire overall view of the sociological impli .. cations 0:1 his craft must be seen with respect.

Now ''ltAt till. role o:f media (including eommer c ia l and noncommer cial radio ) has been viewed by the 'tout- a siders," th t ::l.s , the sociologists, it is time for the br oadcaster s themselves to contr ibute. NOllcommercial br oadca ster s seem to have as many re'8 sons for broad-

ca st ing as there ar e communities s er ved by their stat'ons.

However , on ly a v er y :few of the mor e interesting wi ll be pr esented. here .

The NAEB Journal lis t s seven common con.cepts that seem to reflect the educationa l br oadcaster 's

attitude tow�rd the funct ion of h i s station : ( 1 ) to reflect the aims of the college or spon sor ing foundation .

(2) to pr ovide a train ing ground for st ad en t s . (3) to

offer pr ogr ams of entertainment and informat ion of good

tas te and high qua lity, (4) to seek deve lopment of taste

for good music and progr amming , (5) to be concer ned with public rel ations, (6) to serve the surr ou.nding community,

and (7) to pr ovid e pr ogramming that cannot be received

Th is last area of broadcast fU:nct ion is probably used less than any other , but when it is , the resul ts are rather unusua l. One of the previously ment ioned stations, KPFK (FM) Los Angeles, sees its role in the

community as part of the f� counter .. culture countdown":

"Culture is communication . Society as an or ganism is not simply the to tal of its compoflents but rather a terr ibly complex , interr elated mes.a.ge , a meaningful pattern of information , "t�e pattern of soc iety as a wh ole" that T. S. Eliot , Ma,tthew Arnold and other s have defined as culture. As such, society can onl y be understood by the communications tha t take place within it , for they are, in a large sense , what makes it identifiable. "The communications tl1at we use define and mold the world we think we see and , by ex tension , the be­ havior that we find acceptable. We react and act different ly when we define the victims of a U" S. bombing attack on a Vietnamese village as "communists"

0+ .two.en and _childr en . II Thus t.he control of com ... m_�ations- systems_ those that have determinate iDrpC)rtance- is central to contrGl of society . nTh-e most powerful communications media in any society are its most technolo9ically advanced , and itl every society on recor d they have been controlled by those on top . Royal patronage and licensing power once assured. the British crown control over the burgeoning power of the printing press . Today in the United St ates , reliance on advertising revenues ass�res corporate America control over television and radio broaaca stin9 . It is no accident that broad­ cast ing depends on ad.vertising, because advertising is tile key economic stimulant on which our society depends . "And every commercial broadcaster knows that as well as he knows his; na-me . 'The primary stimulant is advertising ,' Rober t Sarnoff has said , 'and among all forms of advertising television has u.nique capabilities

that power the Amer'ican economy. For television is .. ' - more than an adv�rti.in9 tool; like advertising , it 22

cr eates demand; but with sight , sound , color , and demonstration, it goes fu r ther and functions as a direct selling force.' . Exact1y- i t pr ojects a way of life that is consumpt ive , alienated , ulcerous and totalitarian . The message of an evening of tele­

",i sian is clear : the world is ..-A ... lU.$ , there.. i� nothing one can do about i t, .t.r llst The Man wi th The Gun,. keep your nose clean , .and bu.y , buy , buy tne in sulation that will keep you on an even social keel. "Even totalitarian societies __ ve social for ces co un ter to the mainstreall, hoWeV€J:', and a corresponding cuItue cou.nter to dominant . Th er e seems be ' the to a counter-culture developing in the Un ited St ates today, :repr esen ted (in part perhaps) by the. . hippi:es , 'tl;l. o.Ck:8p�out s, the student act ivists , lIli litant blacks , I�di ans, ch icanos, and other Ilnamalgamated, reca lcitrant social deviants. Th ey hardly repr esent a cohesive block, their differ ences are bitterly enunciated, but they know wh at they are against . Th eir future as a wor kable coalition , as a count er force , depends ()n the ex istence of a cOlilntEllr ... communications system, for as Kar l Kau.tsky long ago pointed out , "spontaneous movements lead to the domination of bourgeois id eologyJ ­ read middle-Class va lues if you pr efer different jargon� 'for the simp le rea son that bourgeois ideo logy is far older in or igin •••mor e fUlly developed and because it po ssesses immeasurably mor e oppor tunities for becoming widespread.' "The prolifer ation of the under ground. pr ess seems a step in .that direction , although I Otll9ht to candidly admit that its domination by hippies dist/i\Sbs me . Establishment magazines like For tune and- Bu siness Week have point ed out with glee the money that hippies ar e aaking selling beads , black lights , psychedelic par apherna lia , and acid rock­ confirming my stilspicion that if you scratch a hippie you can find an entr eplneur . KPFK ....wh ich has the . advantage of bein9 noncommercial and the disadvilntage of depending on middle class int ellectuals for its cor e support.,..., is another kind of instance .

- The 3:30 to 4:00 per iod can be s tr ipped as "pub ..

lic affair s" progr amming , although the progr am titles

.t i, vary' ft om as not ed, on the schedt\!e (see

" •• - j " " " • TABLe 3) . This wa s done be cause of the need for be ing able to use ta��d pr ogr ams when schoo l is dismissed ; using t aped pr ogr amming eliminates the need for an announcer and the background no ise that would result from an open mike p icking up the usual after ...ac hool eonfusion . Th is also permit s an easy shift in station per sonnel. "What Must

' Be Done" is produced in Milwa ukee ' and concer ns ghetto problems (distr ibut ed by WHA Madison , ); 'tSwe .... den To day" is produced by the gover nment owned Swedish radio sys t em , as is "Swedi sh Spectrwn." The for mer dea ls with curr ent events wh ile the la tter is concerned 34

"Institute on Man and Scieftce" is pr ovided by Ch icago ... based Ar gonne .National Labor atory, and. "Spotlight II" is a pre-r ecorded , student pr od,tlced commentar y on current events.

The 4:00 o'clock per iod is reser ved for classical

music ; on Monday, Wednesday and " Friday the music is dr awn froll the ex tensive recor d library of the station .

On Tuesday and Thur sday, "Ernest Bloch : The Man and Hi s

Music" is presented on tape from the National Educational

Radio Network (NERN ) '. The music of the late Swiss�

Amer ican composer is pr esented with commentary by his wife ; due to the predominantly "Hebr aic feeling" of his mater ial (e.g. , the Hebr ew rhapsody Schelomo , 1916) , this progr am is another ex ample of pr ogr amming for the community ar ea served.

Monday threugh Fr iday, WNTH�FM pr esents a half ho ur of news at 5:00. Th is is pr obably one of the mor e challenging segments for such a station to under take for several reasons : (1) with so lar ge a staff of announ ... cer s (over 100), one individual has little expos� e or exper ience for such work, and thus even a shor t five minute 35

newscast usually comes off rather "r ough"; (2) wire services rarely provide enough ma terial for so lengthy a time of current nat ional/international news ; and. (3) the pr imar y listening audience (fellow high schoo l stu"", dents) is no t par ticular ly interested in hear ing thir ty minutes of news , no t to mention the 1inlite d number of parents willing to have dinner accompanied by a running commentary on the wor ld situat ion . The fir st po int requires a rotation system of announcer s in order to give an equal oppor tunity for all the student s to par ticipate as much as possible. The pr ob lems with . wir e ser vice cover age (in vo l ume ) requires the students to actively "track down " news items of the commun ity and school.

Both ItSpotlight 1" and "Insight " are news com ...

, mentary shows pr oduced by New Tr ier West and New Trier

Ea st student s, ;-espective1y. The for ma t is mor e or less a round table discussion of current event s (mainly na -

, - \. : tiona l/international) and th"ir effect. upon the student s or young peop le in gen.ral. Controver sial issues ar e . . • 'i' _, cer tainly not avo ided ; students often discuss the "news ...

maker s" with a remar kable "fr iend ...of ...the -family" attitude , due ma in ly to the fact that many of their parents ar e nat ionally known po litical, soc j.al and economic figures. 36

Ther e have been several cases of n at ional leader s visiting

the station to Bee someone 's son or da ught er and eventua lly

staying to appe6r on one of these pr ogr ams. It was be ...

cause of this t}1pe of oppor tunity that laever al of the

station p.r sonnel a t WNTH- FM have been placed on the pa" lro ll of one of Ch icago 's c l ear channel AM stations

Th e 8:30 to 9, :00 segment is prodllced by New Tr ier stlldents using the WNTH:-FM recor d library. These progr ams

�sually have two announcer s, a student producer , and a combinat ion engineer-dir ector ; oft en the shows ar e pr e ... recor ded in one of two production studios available. 39

Despite a few po ssibilities for controver sy on the discl1ssion shows produced by the students, this schedule

is t yp ical ox the conservative educational progr amming pO l�cy. D'14! to the nature of the progr am runs (once a week ) ox the NERN tapes , str ipping or acro ss the bo ard p.r(�gramaing is impossible without repeating the same program five times a week at the same time each daY l

somehow the lack of stripping becomes less of a sin in

this light .

The second noncommer cia l educa tiona l station to be

·considered is KPFK"",FM Los Angeles. KPFKI!!!FM is owned and oper ated by the . Pacifica Fo u.nda tion . a non�profit insti"" tlltion oWl'ling two other Ronco.mercial stations (WBA I New

Yor k and KPFA Berkeley ). The studios are lo ca ted at

3129 Cahuenga Blvd., Nor th Hollywood , Ca lifornia ; the tr ansmit ter is located on Mount Wi lson , broadcasting in stereo multiplex with an efxective radiated power ox

110,000 wa tts . Programming is determined by a station manager and both the Los Angeles Board of Director s and the Nationa l Board of Director s of the Pacifica FOlilndation.

While WNTH ..... FM Winnetka has a staff number ing slight ly under 100 , KPFK (FM) Los Angeles lists 118 staff person!'!! nel in its Febr uary 1969 "Programming Profi le," of which 40

only 18 are paid.19

Wh ile the oper ating budget o-L WNTH...,FM Winnetk,a is provided by the New Tr ier Township Board of Edllcation and , the higlil ,schoo l student body , KPFK is a listener

The , Wirmetka station pr ohibits smoking , dr inking and eating within the studios , whi le the Los Angeles station prohi- bits none of these , in addition to allowing nud1."ty .,.• 20

The broadcast schedule of KPFK pr ovides a view of one of the least conventiona l progralUling patterns in

\lse by ' Amer ican broadcasters. The old axiom of stripping is ai�cl i9ft&.e.d in several places ; 'probably the gr eatest - ' ') , "1 s foQftd in not

The rema ining programs on the schedule are somewhat

similar to .-The Fr ee Lunch'f (und.erground mllsic and com.. 28 mentary on the New Left Revolution ), with the exception of the classical progr ams no ted ; informat ion on "The Savage

"top for ty.·' The progr am guide also states that the station stays on the air un til Mr.C arpenter becomes tired or bor ed (which is always at lea st after 3:00 in the morning ), except on Sllndays wh en the sign-off time

is 2:00 . Wher eas WNTK-.FM Winnetka s igns -off with the

"Star Spangled Banner ," informat ion is no t avail.,able concerning KPFK's procedure for le aving the air.

As is evident in contr a sting these two stations , the role of pr ogr amming is interpr eted by the station management , relative to the needs of the commun ity being served . An obvious problem develops in defining

the term "educationaltt to encompass such a wide var iation

7. 28�. , p . in programming as r epr esented by these two stations . In the more traditional sense , WNTH Winnetka symbolizes a

typical low power educational operation , and yet pr efer s to be labeled as a "noncommercial FM station" as oppo sed

29 to the label of .'educational" br oadcaster . KPFK , how... ever , bills itself as a "non-profit , noncommer cia l

Somewhue on middle ground on the continuum is

Eshe lman makes the following comments concer ning

the results of his survey presented on the previous page :

ttWhile it is true that each station would interpr et the ,questionaire types different ly , I be'lieve that there wa s probably enough var iety to de lineate the gener al concept , and that ther e wa s probably enough consistency that the statistical aver ages are fair ly representative of the several stations inc luded in this repor t. My be lief is based on notations on the returned forms in ad... dition to analysis of the program guides or schedules " This comment also applies to the former question regarding program types. 'fNo te that rock 'nt roll music is aired on only eight (16 per cent ) of the stations. All the other � ;ndicated that they very definitely did not, broadcast such music . < "Three stations indicated t at they considered '' � Chr istmas music, as religious music, and this , due to its seasona l quality , was not included in the pr eceding tabuiations. HOf the seven stations that broadcast tother ' types of music" these notations wer e made : two included show 1i\ilsic , two included broadway music , and four stations included opera, which other stations probably included in their reports under other categories. t'Though no general eorr,ela1iions could be de ... termiD-e.d as to how mach more church1!!'lOaffiliated co J.,leges broadcas,t 'religion t specifically, the fo llowing correlatioa cou.ld be no ted. Non�church ... affi liated institutions br oadcast mor e hours on Sunday and programmed all types of broadcasts, whereas church-affiliated institutions broadcast fewer hour s and mor e religious programming , such as chur ch services , chapel talks , and religious music.

"Do you have a regular broadca st schedule?

Th e legal sources of revenue for a noncommercial station are dependent upon the guidelines established by the FCC , En tire progr ams may actually be "sponsor ede, by a commer cial concern if the proper wording is used ,

A tag similar to the fo llowing could be used once , at the conclusion of the programming : "Production assistance and consider ation for this broadcast wa s provided by , ft

A lawyer , prefer ably a broadcast attorney , should be sought for the acceptable phrasing in accordance with the most recent . FCC rulings , Stations affiliated with tax-exempt or nonMprofit institut ions are also capable of using this status to receive donations of equipment , tapes , and records . The feeding of FM music systems

( ttMuzak" ) is usua lly unprofitable for a low power station due to the limited range and expense of multi- plexing (SCA) equipment .

Since TV , radio has become a per sonal medium- it 46 has turned to the individual needs of its audience,

In meeting listener desires , the commercial broadcaster has developed new progr amming techniques, most no tably the ·' ta1k show" for ma t with guests of var io us professional backgrounds , and the radio news documentary, These trends indicate a change toward the educational commer cial station ,

But what has happened to · the educational noncom ... mercia1 station? Despite an estimated broadcast coverage of more than half of the Amer ican people, the actual audience of these stations is very small in compar ison 47 w1• th the potent1a• 1 audO .1e nce. Cer tainly the educationa l broadcaster .has been limited by inadequate budgets and the resultant shor tage of technical equipment , He has also been restr icted tn' often clinging to a ph ilosophy emphasizing noncommer cial radio as a tr aining ground for technicians rather than an educational exper ience for his audience, Oftentimes he does not even know his

audience , or wor se , he do es no t fully compr ehend his function in the community. He may even forget that

"educationa1U does not mean "dull."

It is time for the educational FlI4 Uindustry·· to rel"'examine its history and formulate a realistic view of its role as a modern medium; to formulate programming combining audience appeal and educational value ; and to - . seek new forms of financial stability. It is time for the educational br oadcaster to take his cue fr om
