Ben Freedman Productions Ben Freedman, Jr Ben Freedman Productions Ben Freedman, Jr. [email protected] 469 467 1275 Promo Bank Preface: Once upon a time…there was a day when every Station owner, GM, PD, DJ or potential purchasers of a professional radio station ID jingle package was required to pay outlandish initial fees and periodic renewal fees to cover the sky high overhead of high quality station ID jingle studios with their fancy glass office buildings, receptionists, musicians, and singers. With special thanks to Ben’s creativity and pledge to reinvest Promo Bank profits into more sessions and jingle products – Thus, very special thanks to Ben’s AMAZING DALLAS singers and musicians (for their gracious cooperation) and yes, thanks to today’s high technology - That Day is over baby!!!, Now that IRS and Promo Bank has set the stage, Ben Freedman is proud to present THE most unique promotional product to ever hit the radio production room since the tape recorder, editing block, splicing tape and razor blade! Welcome to: Ben Freedman’s Promo Bank!

HOW TO USE PROMO BANK: First, Review the guide sheets as you listen, note the few important bold font warnings on market infringements. Make sure your availablility is “CLEAR”.Then, outline your specific requirements in advance; we suggest giving each “need” a numerical assignment. Then, print out the entire guide sheets and assemble in a standard 3 hole, 3 ring binder or similar, then listen to each disc or one DVD (and make hand written notes in ink directly next each desired selection) enter the “function numerical code” next to your choices on the guide sheets – in addition - letter grade your selections – SO – the end result will be that you have covered most functions and given a letter grade priority of desirability – If you get stuck… enter your desired key image line like “oldies” or “hit radio”, etc and use the search “FIND” feature on the “edit” drop down BE SURE TO THINK CREATIVELY.. you may need to scan through the discs several times to get organized..(the first time should be to verify correct content and playing w/o errors) REMEMBER that a DAW like Adobe Audition is a revolutionary and amazing creative tool and gives near infinite creative potential as you go along.. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO CREATE CERTAIN RADIO PRODUCTIONS THAT HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN THOUGHT OF UP UNTIL NOW……CREATIVITY IS UNLIMITED> PROMO BANK ALMOST LETS YOU BE YOUR OWN JINGLE COMPANY (and the jingle company of others, but for that: you MUST follow the Licensee’s ground rules set by Ben) DON’T FORGET, Most of the Disc’s Vocal Elements began at FLAT EQ, but a few CD tracks are placed in very slight error status, correspondingly a little less bright or perhaps to bright in high EQ.. SO – PLEASE “TWEAK AND CORRECT” WHEN COMBINING – AND MATCHING/BUILDING: STRATEGIC BRIGHTENING OF EQ ON VOCALS (and some select instrumentals) IS VERY CRITICAL! AND – NOTE THAT OTHER KEY AUDIO PROCESSING MAY BE MANDATED TO ENABLE LYRICS TO “FLY OUT” TO THE EAR>>!!!!! THIS IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT!! AND ALWAYS REMEMBER, EACH TWEAK AND “TEST LISTEN” WILL GIVE YOU “MAJOR MOTION PICTURE AND RECORDING COMPANY” RESULTS!!!! ALL PROMO BANK RECORDINGS – WHEN FOLLOWING THE GAME PLAN ABOVE - WILL GIVE YOU THE BASIS FOR FULL FIDELTY TO ACHIEVE OUTSTANDING TOP PROFESSIONAL RESULTS, ANY QUESTIONS; CONTACT PROMO BANK CREATOR BEN FREEDMAN at [email protected] IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS – limiting usage/broadcast and Internet (not personal DJ audition demos) – restrictions are noted in bold Font text as you scan the CD content – abide by these notices to conform to US Trademark and Service Marks!!

Chirkinian, who spent his entire career at CBS, was given the task of figuring out how to televise the game of golf back in 1958 when the network decided golf was worth a look. Chirkinian went on to produce 38 consecutive Masters Tournament telecasts, making golf a mainstay in sports broadcasting and creating the standard against which golf telecasts are still measured.

    Mount Rushmore: The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy Brian Asher Rosenwald Wynnewood, PA Master of Arts, University of Virginia, 2009 Bachelor of Arts, University of Pennsylvania, 2006 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia August, 2015 !1 © Copyright 2015 by Brian Asher Rosenwald All Rights Reserved August 2015 !2 Acknowledgements I am deeply indebted to the many people without whom this project would not have been possible. First, a huge thank you to the more than two hundred and twenty five people from the radio and political worlds who graciously took time from their busy schedules to answer my questions. Some of them put up with repeated follow ups and nagging emails as I tried to develop an understanding of the business and its political implications. They allowed me to keep most things on the record, and provided me with an understanding that simply would not have been possible without their participation. When I began this project, I never imagined that I would interview anywhere near this many people, but now, almost five years later, I cannot imagine the project without the information gleaned from these invaluable interviews. I have been fortunate enough to receive fellowships from the Fox Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania and the Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia, which made it far easier to complete this dissertation. I am grateful to be a part of the Fox family, both because of the great work that the program does, but also because of the terrific people who work at Fox.

Community Renegades: Micro-radio and the Unlicensed Radio Movement LAWRENCE C. SOLEY When police beat Dewayne Readus during a 1983 scuffle at the John Hay Homes housing project in Springfield, Illinois, they were no more aware that their actions would lead to a large-scale revolt than were the Los Angeles cops who beat Rodney King eight years later. Unlike the revolt in Los Angeles, the one that started in Springfield was nonviolent, invisible, and international. It triggered the micro-radio revolt of the 1990s-an explosion of unlicensed, low-power radio stations that originated in, and broadcast to, neighborhoods across the United States and across the globe. Dewayne Readus grew up in the John Hay Homes public housing project, a 600-unit complex of low-rise apartments for low-income families a short distance from President Abraham Lincoln's historic home. In the 1980s, the project was home to approximately 3,000 people, the vast majority of whom were African American. No commercial broadcasting stations were directed to Springfield's 15,000 African Americans, most of whom lived within a one-and-a-half-mile radius of the John Hay project.

  • NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY the Reality of Fantasy Sports
    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY The Reality of Fantasy Sports: Transforming Fan Culture in the Digital Age A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of Media, Technology and Society By Ben Shields EVANSTON, ILLINOIS June 2008 2 © Copyright by Ben Shields 2008 All Rights Reserved 3 ABSTRACT The Reality of Fantasy Sports: Transforming Fan Culture in the Digital Age Ben Shields This dissertation analyzes the transformation of fantasy sports from a deviant, outside- the-mainstream fan culture to a billion-dollar industry that comprises almost 20 million North American participants. Fantasy sports are games in which participants adopt the simultaneous roles of owner, general manager, and coach of their own teams of real athletes and compete in leagues against other fantasy teams with the individual statistical performance of athletes determining the outcome of the match and league standings over a season. Through an analysis of how fantasy sports institutions are co-opting an existing fan culture, the dissertation seeks to contribute to an emerging body of scholarship on the communication dynamic between fans and media institutions in the digital age. In order to understand this cultural shift within the context of fantasy sports, it focuses on three research questions: What is the history of fantasy sports? Why do fantasy sports stimulate avid and engaged fan behaviors? How do fantasy sports institutions communicate with fantasy sports fan cultures? The methodology employed in this study combines both an ethnographic approach and textual analysis. Personal interviews were conducted with fifteen decision makers from fantasy sports companies such as SportsBuff, Rotowire, Fantasy Auctioneer, Mock Draft Central, Grogan’s Fantasy Football, CBS Sportsline, and ESPN.
