2014 Seattle National Student Electronic Media Convention
National Student Electronic Media Convention Seattle, WA #CBISeattle October 23-25, 2014 OCTOBER 2014 Welcome to Seattle! On behalf of the College Broadcasters, Inc. (CBI) Board of Directors, I’d like to welcome you to Seattle for the National Student Electronic Media Convention (NSEMC), or CBI Seattle for short. CBI Seattle is America’s top convention dedicated exclusively to the interests of student radio stations, TV/video outlets, and webcasters. Whichever category—or categories—you fall into, we are confident that you will leave the convention with the skills and motivation to improve your student media outlet. In its third year, the NSEMC continues to grow. Among the improvements this year are an additional breakout room, giving you the choice of six sessions during most time slots; a pre-convention workshop—FCC 101, an intensive, three-hour pre-convention workshop hosted by a veteran adviser and a nationally-known attorney. That’s in addition to what’s made us so successful since our inception—high-quality sessions led by advisers and media professionals, student-led roundtables, and networking and social opportunities. I am pleased to announce that this year’s keynote address will be given by Seattle broadcast legend John Curley. During his 30-year radio and TV career, John has earned numerous accolades, including multiple local Emmy Awards and the Edward R. Murrow Award for Excellence in Journalism. John previously hosted KING 5 TV’s “Evening Magazine”—America’s highest-rated regionally produced TV show for fourteen years—and currently hosts “The Curley and Tom Morning Show” on KIRO 97.3 FM.

I ¡Qt>. 565 MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PRINCIPAL PLAY-BY-PLAY ANNOUNCERS: THEIR OCCUPATION, BACKGROUND, AND PERSONAL LIFE Michael R. Emrick A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY June 1976 Approved by Doctoral Committee DUm,s¡ir<y »»itti». UNIVERSITY LIBRARY 11 ABSTRACT From the very early days of radio broadcasting, the descriptions of major league baseball games have been among the more popular types of programs. The relationship between the ball clubs and broadcast stations has developed through experimentation, skepticism, and eventual acceptance. The broadcasts have become financially important to the teams as well as the advertisers and stations. The central person responsible for pleasing the fans as well as satisfying the economic goals of the stations, advertisers, and teams—the principal play- by-play announcer—had not been the subject of intensive study. Contentions were made in the available literature about his objectivity, partiality, and the influence exerted on his description of the games by outside parties. To test these contentions, and to learn more about the overall atmosphere in which this focal person worked, a study was conducted of principal play-by-play announcers who broadcasted games on a day-to-day basis, covering one team for a local audience. With the assistance of some of the announcers, a survey was prepared and distributed to both announcers who were employed in the play-by-play capacity during the 1975 season and those who had been involved in the occupation in past seasons.
