  • Towards Streamlined Broadcasting: the Changing Music Cultures of 1990 Finnish Commercial Radio
    Journal of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music doi:10.5429/2079-3871(2010)v1i1.8en Towards Streamlined Broadcasting: The Changing Music Cultures of 1990 Finnish Commercial Radio Heikki Uimonen [email protected] Dept. of Music Anthropology, University of Tampere Abstract The deregulation of broadcasting in 1985 Finland introduced competition between the European public service tradition and American commercial radio. Musically diverse and almost uncontrolled programme policies of the mid-1980s were replaced by the American-style format radio in the 1990s. The article focuses on how the process of music selection and radio music management changed. What were the economic, technological, organisational and cultural constraints that regulated the radio business and especially music? The question will be answered by empirical data consisting of interviews with the radio station personnel and music copyright reports supported by printed archive material. Key words: radio music, deregulation, music programming, play lists, music selection. Introduction Yleisradio (The Finnish Broadcasting Company, YLE) was founded in 1926. Right from the beginning music had an important role accounting for nearly 70 percent of broadcast time. Soon the share was cut down but it still remained around 50 percent. Publicly funded radio broadcast live; recordings were used very seldom. It seems that the YLE had two main guidelines in their programme policy: firstly to provide serious and uplifting popular education and information to the public and secondly to meet the listeners’ needs for entertainment. In practice this meant more highbrow than folksy style amusement (Kurkela, 2010, pp. 72– 73). In the early 1960s the YLE policy was challenged when the pirate stations started to broadcast off the coast of Stockholm.

    This article has been published in a revised form in Popular Music https://doi.org/10.1017/S0261143017000071. This version is free to view and download for private research and study only. Not for re-distribution or re-use. © Cambridge University Press 2017. Beyond the Playlist: Commercial Radio as Music Culture Heikki Uimonen, University of the Arts Helsinki, Sibelius Academy [email protected] Abstract This article presents the historical transformation of Finnish commercial radio popular music policies from 1985–2005 and contemplates the role of terrestrial radio in contemporary digital age. It argues that a sender-centred paradigm of early commercial radio was replaced swiftly by receiver-centered paradigm, which has been applied since the early 1990s. The change of radio music cultures is described in detail by dividing it into three different eras: Block Radio, Format Radio, and Media Convergence. The study draws on the research project consisting of case studies analysing the music content of various radio stations. The primary empirical data is composed of thirty-two interviews of radio personnel and the analysis of 4,500 individual songs broadcast by popular music radio stations with newspaper and journal articles supporting the primary data. Radio music culture is approached theoretically from the ethnomusicological perspective and thus defined as all practices that have an effect on broadcast music, including the processes of acquiring, selecting, and governing music. The empirical results of the study show that the transformation of radio music cultures is affected by economic, technological, legal, organisational, and cultural factors. 1 Introduction In 1985, the first local and commercial radio stations in Finland were granted two-year experimental licences.

Aineistona on käytetty tutkimuskaupungeissa toimivien 38 yksityisen radioaseman arkipäivän lähetyksistä toukokuussa 2005 tehtyjä tallenteita ja niistä päivän parhaalta kuuntelujaksolta valittuja kuuden tunnin mittaisia näytteitä. Niistä yhteensä liki 70% oli musiikkia ja noin 20% puhetta eli toimituksellisen aineiston osuus oli kaikkiaan 89,7%. Liki neljännes kaikista näytteistä yhteensä oli ac/pop-musiikkia. Tärkein puhesisältöjen tyyppi taas olivat uutiset, joita oli yhteensä noin 4,7 % kaikista näytteistä. 1) Kaikkein puhepainotteisimmat kanavat olivat helsinkiläinen Lähiradio (80,7 %), turkulainen Radio Robin Hood ja kuopiolainen Oikea Asema.
