  • 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.

  • Asian Talk Radio
    FORMAT STUDY – ASIAN TALK RADIO METHODOLOGY First Surveys were commissioned by Sunrise Radio to conduct and administer fieldwork on a total of 350 adults of South Asian ethnic background aged 15+ residing in the ‘1035 AM’ measured coverage area (MCA). The purpose of the survey was to identify recent and current listening trends and preferences, indicating levels of satisfaction / dissatisfaction with the level of choice offered by music- based and speech-based stations currently available in the area and also to test potential likelihood of listening to a proposed new station format. The proposed format was expected to appeal almost exclusively to persons of a South Asian ethnic origin: Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and Sri Lankans. Interviewing was therefore conducted proportionate to Asian population density in the London boroughs listed below where the Asian population exceeds 3.5% of of Greater London’s total South Asian population. Quotas of age with gender were calculated from RAJAR/RSL data (3 months to March 2004). Asian Adult 15+ Population in the London TSA Total Male Female 15+ 892 100.0% 434 100.0% 458 100.0% 15-24 197 22.1% 95 21.9% 102 22.3% 25-34 292 32.7% 119 27.4% 172 37.6% 35-44 179 20.1% 63 14.5% 116 25.3% 45-54 119 13.3% 95 21.9% 24 5.2% 55-64 72 8.1% 35 8.1% 37 8.1% 65+ 33 3.7% 26 6.0% 7 1.5% Counts in 000’s Sample Required & Achieved by Age & Gender Total Male Female 48.7% 51.3% 15+ 350 100.0% 170 100.0% 180 100.0% 15-24 77 22.1% 37 21.9% 40 22.3% 25-34 115 32.7% 47 27.4% 67 37.6% 35-44 70 20.1% 25 14.5% 46 25.3%
