  • State of the Blues PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE by JACK HADLEY
    BIMONTHLY NEWS OF THE COLORADO BLUES SCENE • VOL. 24, NO. 4 • AUG. - SEPT. 2018 • [email protected] 2013 KBA WINNER BLUES SOCIETY STATE OF THE BLUES PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE BY JACK HADLEY Most Americans growing up in the age of pop music never listened to the blues. It wasn’t played on commercial radio and, sadly, not much has changed. I realize that any roots music in 2018 is hidden in plain sight. It’s out there if you look for it. I was at a blues jam re- cently and I was surprised at the music I heard. It was uniformly real blues mu- sic. There were no reggae covers or pop tunes played under the guise of blues. The most telling part of the night for me was a band of young people who hit the stage. A standard lineup of guitar, bass, drums and a lead vocalist. I have to admit they didn’t look like they knew any- thing about the music. I was dead wrong. These kids (anyone under 30 is a kid to me now) hit it real hard. It was on the blues rock end of the scale and more blues than I expected. Howlin’ Wolf and a few other classic covers. It was well done and I felt the blues coming from the stage. No, they didn’t sound like any of the artists on this page (Sonny Boy Williamson, Rick Estrin & The Nightcats and Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, clockwise from left to right). They sounded like themselves. And it’s still called the blues.

  • All Grants Awarded Through Fiscal Year 2020 INTRODUCTION and KEY
    All Grants Awarded Through Fiscal Year 2020 INTRODUCTION AND KEY This report is a list of all grants awarded by the Colorado Historical Society’s State Historical Fund (SHF) since its inception in 1992 (state Fiscal Year 1993) through the end of Fiscal Year 2020. The amounts listed are the original award amounts. If for some reason the entire grant amount was not used (i.e. a project was terminated or was completed under budget) the full amount awarded will appear. In other instances grant awards were increased either to enable project completion or to cover the costs of easements. In these instances, the additional award amount is shown in a separate entry as an increase. In those cases where no work was accomplished and the funds were either declined by the grant recipient or were required to be returned to the SHF through rescissions, no entry will appear. For this reason, projects listed in one version of this report may not appear in later versions, and the financial information shown in this report may not be comparable to other revenue reports issued by the SHF. Grants listed in this report are identified by project ID number. The first two characters in the project ID number represent the fiscal year from which the grant was scheduled to be paid. The state is on a July 1 – June 30 fiscal year. So, for example, all grants made between July 1, 2006 and June 30, 2007 will be coded “07”. The next two characters identify the type of grant. In the case of grants that are awarded based on specific application due dates, the grant round in which the project was funded will be paired with either a letter or number.

  • Revitalization of the AM Radio Service ) ) ) )
    Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, DC In the matter of: ) ) Revitalization of the AM Radio Service ) MB Docket 13-249 ) ) COMMENTS OF REC NETWORKS One of the primary goals of REC Networks (“REC”)1 is to assure a citizen’s access to the airwaves. Over the years, we have supported various aspects of non-commercial micro- broadcast efforts including Low Power FM (LPFM), proposals for a Low Power AM radio service as well as other creative concepts to use spectrum for one way communications. REC feels that as many organizations as possible should be able to enjoy spreading their message to their local community. It is our desire to see a diverse selection of voices on the dial spanning race, culture, language, sexual orientation and gender identity. This includes a mix of faith-based and secular voices. While REC lacks the technical knowledge to form an opinion on various aspects of AM broadcast engineering such as the “ratchet rule”, daytime and nighttime coverage standards and antenna efficiency, we will comment on various issues which are in the realm of citizen’s access to the airwaves and in the interests of listeners to AM broadcast band stations. REC supports a limited offering of translators to certain AM stations REC feels that there is a segment of “stand-alone” AM broadcast owners. These owners normally fall under the category of minority, women or GLBT/T2. These owners are likely to own a single AM station or a small group of AM stations and are most likely to only own stations with inferior nighttime service, such as Class-D stations.

  • DEPARTMENT of MEDIA STUDIES Proposal for BA in Media Studies ______
    _____________________________________________________ DEPARTMENT OF MEDIA STUDIES Proposal for BA in Media Studies _____________________________________________________ March 2014 Based on Graduate Program Proposal Outline found at: http://www.colorado.edu/GraduateSchool/academics/new_degree_process.html CMCI Proposal | University of Colorado Boulder | Appendix 2 300 Undergraduate Program Proposal Outline A. Description of Program 1. Describe the basic design of this program, including its level (baccalaureate, masters, doctoral) and the field of study. Is this an interdisciplinary program? The Media Studies Department is dedicated to examining ways of thinking about and conducting research at the intersection of media, communication and cultural practices in historical and contemporary perspective. Encompassing humanistic, social scientific and artistic approaches to the study of media and culture, and interdisciplinary in its theoretical and methodological approaches, the new degree spans traditional boundaries between theory and practice. It fosters “media literacy” in the broadest sense by providing students with the critical skills to analyze contemporary media and culture, along with technical, aesthetic and intellectual capacities that enable strong media practices. The Media Studies BA is a 4-year interdisciplinary undergraduate program. The goal of a bachelor’s degree in Media Studies is to prepare students to become intellectually engaged critics of and participants in their media environment through a curriculum that integrates rigorous scholarship and creative media practice. Media Studies students exit the program with a vital edge as well-informed, independent thinkers, and well-rounded, critically engaged and creative professionals. Students majoring in Media Studies systematically examine traditional media (such as radio, newspapers and television), including their more recently converged manifestations, and the full range of digital innovations that have so radically disrupted and transformed the contemporary media environment.
